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.

yeah, i also was thinking about horses post...lsu pretty much coasted thru the fourth quarter. that last osu touchdown was the result of the lsu defense wanting very much to start the celebration, rather than any re-sparking of the osu offense.
