OSU certainly didn't show up. Nobody can dispute that, so I'm not sure that this game somehow negates the rest of their season and makes them "not as great as they were made out to be." They had a pretty freaking good season and got figured out, and romped by one great football team. Half of their explosive offensive duo was out the entire game (after touching the ball once (?) and scoring 7 points with it.), and it was obvious that that hurt Smith's ability to work with the football.
I'm taking nothing away from Florida's performance last night, I explained that to Cajun right after the game -- there are no excuses, but there's also no reason to get all carried away with OSU being frauds.

I certainly don't believe that OSU is a fraud. Like I said with Michigan, that was not the same OSU we saw all season long. I believe in my heart, though that even if they HAD brought their "A" game, Florida would have beaten them. Florida wanted to win last night and they wanted it badly... I'm proud of my boys!
I'm just happy for the SEC... I got so sick of hearing people say all season that our conference is overrated.
