mismatches in talent are in depth and skilled players. 8 tigers carried the football, 3 for osu. 8 tigers caught passes, 4 for osu. lsu even played 2 qbs.
osu was better on offense when they ran between the tackles right at the lsu front. they couldn't move outside the tackles. therefore, osu couldn't afford to fall behind.
lsu defensive game plan had NO respect for the osu wideouts. they locked them up 1-on-1 from the first play of the game. lsu didn't play much zone. lsu dared osu to pass.
osu defensive game play came out playing zone right away. they KNEW they couldn't run 1-on-1 with the lsu wrs. it just took time for lsu to find the holes in the zones. tiger wrs running loose in the secondary is a scary thought. lsu ran the ball better that osu figured too.

Perhaps...but I stand by my statement that the blowout occurred because of what happened on a few key plays. OSU didn't make them and thus what happened happened. LSU did not move the ball much in the 2nd half at all. I don't think they outplayed them other than their dominating 2nd quarter where offensively and defensively they destroyed OSU. And again, I think what led to that quarter was the dropped robiskie touchdown and the blocked field goal. don't get me wrong...LSU is a better team. But I really dont' think overwhelmingly.
