I've seen over and over the defense give up a game winning drive at the end of a big game..the bowl game against texas a few years ago..usc in 09, maybe even throw this years wisconsin game in there. But tonight I thought the defense played great, especially with all of the injuries and subbing throughout the game. Then after a blocked punt..on the final drive of the game..where it looked like we were going to lose, you stepped up and got the turnover! In spite of Tressel's horrendous playcalling, and "play not to lose" mentality the second half, you did just enough to get the win.

Cam was an absolute man among boys out there. He was being held on basically every single play and was still able to get to Mallet multiple times.

The run defense was shaky as I feared it would be. Luckily they only gave Davis the ball 25 times or so. I was thrilled with the pass rush and pleased with the pass defense even with 3rd team kids out there that hadn't played in a game since we played Eastern Michigan.

The Dline played awesome!! Maybe the best theyve played since the NC game against Miami! Dominated up front! And they had to with the secondary being totally depleted!
