You will never find a closer game than that

Coming up tomorrow, I will give you my post-game thoughts, my review on What Do You Want To See On Saturday, and a Buckeye Hotspots review (in which I will give a bad review to Buffalo Wild Wings, and tell you why I will NEVER set foot in that restaurant again).

But I wanted to point out one fact to everybody.  You talk about a close game?  This game was about as close as you can POSSIBLY get.  Here’s the stats;

  • Final score – Ohio State 20, Wisconsin 17
  • Total yardage – Ohio State 327, Wisconsin 326
  • Rushing yards – Ohio State 183, Wisconsin 179
  • Passing yards – Ohio State 144, Wisconsin 147
  • Turnovers – Ohio State 2, Wisconsin 2
  • Yards per rush – Ohio State 4.6, Wisconsin 4.6

So what was the difference?

Ryan Pretorius was 2-for-2 in FG kicking for Ohio State, Phillip Welch was 1-for-1 for Wisky.  We need perfection from our kicking game, and we got it in a game when less-than-perfect would have cost us a victory.  Hats off to Pretorius for being clutch when we needed him to be.
