2017 Cotton Bowl | #5 Ohio State vs. #8 USC | December 29th, 2017 @ 8:30 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Only a spoiled fan would be pissed at the outcome of this season.

Beat Michigan, won the Big Ten, and won a big bowl game against a conference champion who has some history with us. MUCH better than what went down last year.

Here's hoping we dominate next year and get another shot at a natty. But some people choose to have a bad time watching a perpetually good football team, oh well.
 
He had 4 terrible takes in 2 sentences.

Bad takes are all Optimus has.

Just reading the game thread now... amazing how many people are saying the offense, not the defense, held the team back from making the CFP this year. Ummm 55 points against Iowa in which they got gashed on the ground and thru the air? Oklahoma 2nd half? 3-4 games through the season the pass defense was one of the bottom 10 in all of FBS? The offense wasn't rolling on all cylinders all year, but 4th in yards and 6th in scoring is pretty damn good.

About 20 of Iowa's 55 points come courtesy of JT...and holding that Oklahoma offense to 31 points is nothing to be ashamed of...

But, yeah, the defense overall was not as good this year. Secondary play was really up and down and the LB play was the worst I've seen at OSU in a long time.
