* Momentum: Ohio State had a chance to get back into the game but failed to convert on a fourth-down pass play early in the quarter when Boeckman was sacked and fumbled. Then after the Buckeyes’ defense forced LSU to punt, Ohio State’s offense again came up short and the

Tigers dominated and ended the game in full control.

* Unanswered questions: Why didn’t Ohio State play faster on offense when it was trailing by two touchdowns? Why did Boeckman force an ill-advised deep pass that was intercepted when

the Buckeyes only needed one yard for a first down?

* Did you notice? LSU’s defensive backs played aggressively once Ohio State fell behind and was forced to pass on every play. The Buckeyes looked like a high school team on offense after LSU took a big lead.
