Iowa can regain a measure of respect and position themselves for a better bowl game by beating the Buckeyes.
If the Buckeyes play a full 4 quarters like they did against Penn State then no problem. But if Iowa comes out and makes the Buckeyes look as inept as they did in the first half against Penn State, this will be loss number two.

Lets hope not. OSU has had a tendency to come out in games uninspired (Wisconsin). I think the guys try and take on the unemotional form of tressel sometimes and it hurts them, I would love to see more intensity at times. Last years rose bowl was the most intense I have seen our defense play in the past 5 years.ytownfootball;559124 wrote:Jim Tressel jumped on the Bucks at half time during the PSU game...coming out of the gate sloppy, uninspired. Very much out of his norm. He opened their eyes to what they were potentially throwing away by their lack of effort. As long as JT has been at OSU, I don't recall him blowing a gasket, at least not that has been reported. I think this team needed to see a little fire from JT and know that he is capable of being pissed off, especially in regards to their performance/effort.
I think he'll remind them of the commitment they've made to play at Ohio State and their responsibilities...I don't think they come out of the gate looking as badly as they did the first half against Penn State the rest of the season.

They need fired up once in awhile, hopefully this was it. Unfortunately, it needed to happen prior to entering Camp Randall.

Produce a link where I aid the Buckeyes played a full 4 quarters against PSU. You can't because I never said it. You want to hammer on my Buckeye skepticism...fine. But at least have your facts straight.Fly4Fun;558988 wrote:Your are one of the more negative OSU fans on the site. It seems like every game so far this season you have a "bad feeling" about the game.
