Based on the incredible and statistically impossible comeback against Indiana (just ask ESPN), he was forced to finally make a decision on his starting QB. He realized that taking a chance with Cardale was simply playing with fire and that the last thing he wanted to do was find himself in the same situation as the Hoosiers going into the fourth quarter.:uzi:
Flood now has the upper hand and can manipulate this game as he pleases. I say, with total confidence, that we should bet the house on this game as OSU has shown they are really scared coming into High Point stadium. Now where the hell is my beer?????????[cheers]

Sure, bet the house against the guy who's accounted for 54 touchdowns in 19 career games. What could go wrong? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Actually, if Harbaugh were coaching OSU this Saturday, we'd have a shot. He'd have incentive to tank. I think OP is onto something here.

I thought he was going to say Harbough had no choice but to punt...I still disagree

I saw a Jet game against Colts and same scenario came up that Michigain had in Mich St game. Jets up by less than a TD, 4th down and they were around midfield with only a few seconds left. Parcels calls a time out and explains what he is going to do to the refs beforehand so refs don't blow call. Testaverde takes the shotgun snap, he turns to his own end zone and heaves the ball out of the end zone. Jets take safety and run the clock down. Now only time left is for free kick on the 20 for safety. Squibb kick no run back on squib kick, time runs off clock game over. Jets win. Interesting scenario on how to handle it. Similar but different than RU at Maryland when Caroo takes snap and runs in corner of own end zone. The only difference is Jet ball closer to midfield than RU ball, that's why it was similar to Michigan Michigan State game.

Seeing as how I had a brain-fart the other day and created a thread in which I misspelled Steve Longa's name three different times (including the thread title), I think I'm just going to empathize with the OP and not make any of my usual sarcastic comments.

But if you did, what would they be :)
 
Harbaugh has dreamed of coaching OSU since he was a young lad.

I will admit that the strain of not being all kinds of douchebag in this thread in the way I normally would is causing me to have a nasty headache. Self restraint and filtering is not my happy place. LOL

Then drink heavily and enjoy the baseball game [banana]
