Dang, what a game!!!!! 79TD gives Wis the lead over OSU with 4 min left in the 4th quarter! The coolest thing about the TD is it was the 2nd backup QB who threw the 79yrd TD! 17-10 WIS
did you guys see the linebacker from OSU choke the Wisconsin QB? What a tool, that guy needs to be kicked off the team
Yes, #44 Reynolds. That's disgusting. He should be charged, or at least kicked out of the team. The Guy seeked and Choked, with his full weight no less, Wis QB Sorgi under the file. --and caught by the camera.
That was a terrible thing to do. Man, he should be in some kind of trouble. The QB couldn't swallow after that, and so since he couldnt' swallow he couldn't talk and call the plays so he sat out. That guy, #44 disgusts me.
OSU is almost as overrated as Texas. And yeah, that linebacker should be kicked off the team and repremanded by the NCAA.. neither of which will probably happen..
I'm not surprised. I felt OSU was dishing out some cheap shots in the Fiesta Bowl. That **** all starts with their coach in Tressel, who strikes me as the type that would do anything to win. But thank God, Wisconsin still won. Now OSU has been exposed as the pretender that they are to the NC race.
http://sports.excite.com/news/10122003/v2154.html No. 23 Wisconsin 17, No. 3 Ohio St. 10 Oct 12, 1:46 AM (ET) By ARNIE STAPLETON MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Lee Evans was in danger of being shut out by Chris Gamble's blanket coverage and linebacker Robert Reynolds' dirty play that sidelined Wisconsin's starting quarterback. "We felt they wouldn't expect the deep throw. We thought it was the right time to do it," Evans said of his 79-yard touchdown reception from backup Matt Schabert with 5:20 left that gave the 23rd-ranked Badgers a 17-10 victory over No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday night. Thus ended the defending national champions' 19-game winning streak. "It's a feeling that nobody likes," said Buckeyes quarterback Craig Krenzel, who lost to just the second time in 20 career starts. "At the same time it's a feeling that you have to forget. We'll find out a lot about our character this week." The Buckeyes had just tied it on Michael Jenkins' 6-yard catch from Krenzel with 6:09 remaining. Evans, the Big Ten's leading receiver, had been shut down by Gamble, the country's best cornerback, so well all night that he hadn't had a single pass thrown his way. But on second-and-9 from the 21, Evans beat Gamble and safety Will Allen was slow getting over. Schabert hit Evans in stride at the Ohio State 48 and Evans raced into the end zone. "Our main emphasis was to stop the run. We felt overall we accomplished our goal," defensive end Will Smith said. "And they beat us with a big pass. That's disheartening." Booker Stanley carried 31 times for 125 yards, including a 24-yard run that sealed it in the closing minute after Schabert's 6-yard bootleg on third-and-2 off a great fake to Stanley. When the game ended, many in the crowd of 79,793 spilled onto the field to celebrate, led by a streaker who got a jump on the partying by racing across the field with a minute left. "To end the nation's longest winning streak and stay undefeated in the Big Ten, this is one of my most gratifying wins," Badgers coach Barry Alvarez said. The Badgers improved to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes fell to 5-1 and 1-1. Schabert, a junior who had just two touchdowns tosses in his career, was in because starter Jim Sorgi was injured when Reynolds shoved his fingers into his throat in the third quarter. Until Evans' touchdown, it appeared the Buckeyes might do what had become their hallmark: eke out a win in the fourth quarter. Ten of their 19 wins during the streak were by a touchdown or less, including last year's 19-14 win in Madison when Gamble made an interception in the end zone to seal it. Sorgi's injury made it difficult for him to swallow and impossible for him to call out plays, so Alvarez had no choice but to send in Schabert. "He's got a neck injury and was having a hard time breathing," Alvarez said. "He can't talk." His teammates had plenty to say - or tried to. "Everybody kind of went off. That's something you just don't do," Evans said. "Ohio State is a great program and for them to come out and do that to our quarterback, ... that's one of the lowest things I've ever seen in a football game ..." Just then, Alvarez cut him off and said his team wouldn't discuss the play. "You saw the film," Alvarez told reporters. Badgers center Donovan Raiola yelled across the field after the play. "If they want to do that, I don't really care who they are," Raiola said. "After that, I lost all respect for (all) of them." Reynolds wasn't made available to reporters after the game and Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said he didn't see the play. "I only saw a pileup," he said. The officials didn't see Reynolds shoving his fingers into a prone Sorgi after his third-down scramble with just over five minutes left, either. But several of his teammates did and they got into a scrum with Reynolds. No flags were thrown, and after Sorgi went out, Mike Allen kicked a 38-yard field goal to make it 10-3 with 5:09 left in the third quarter. The Buckeyes, who hadn't lost since Jan. 1, 2002, when South Carolina beat them 31-28 in the Outback Bowl, hadn't moved the ball well all night. But Krenzel, who returned from a hyperextended right elbow that had kept him out of two games, drove Ohio State 75 yards in seven plays for the tying touchdown, which Drew Carter set up with a diving 46-yard grab at the Badgers 6. Stanley is just the second running back to crack 100 yards during the Buckeyes' winning streak - Wisconsin's Anthony Davis had 144 yards in a 19-14 loss to Ohio State last year. The Buckeyes continued to struggle running the ball following the suspension of Maurice Clarett. Lydell Ross gained 28 yards on seven carries and Maurice Hall ran six times for 17 yards. Stanley scored on a 2-yard run on the first play of the second quarter to break a scoreless tie, and Wisconsin led 7-3 at halftime. Both teams turned muffed punts into field goals. Allen's 38-yarder came after Gamble's muff and Mike Nugent's 24-yarder with four minutes left in the first half followed Jim Leonhard's muff at his own 19. Stanley scored from 2 yards out on the first play of the second quarter. ************ Looks like even OSU players thought Reynolds was wrong.
Tressel is a great coach, and has never been suspected of any "dirty play." Just because someone beats your beloved Hurricanes does not make them a bad person, just a great coach, who can get the best out of his team.
We will find out what kind of coach Tressel is next week, what will he do about the Choking Reynolds.
Manny we lost (to a ranked team on teh road). Reynolds will be suspended if not kicked off the team. We only dropped to #8 in the polls so we're not totally dead for the NC. We're probably out o the race but strange things happen at teh end of every season. But please get over yourself. OSU beat Miami last year. And for any Miami fan to call any other team dirty? Guess I should start/find a thread on the WVU-Miami game and detail out how lucky Miami is and they are a group of pretenders for the NC.
Yea and Miami beat a ranked team in the top 5 on the road, so what is your point? My point is that OSU is overrated and that their luck finally ran out. Do you think that Reynolds will get suspended or kicked off the team? I doubt that it will ever happen. Buckeyes aren't going to do anything if they can't run the football. OSU beat Miami last year with the help of one official, when will you admit that? Miami has had some unsavory characters on their past teams including a so-called attempted murderer in Ray Lewis and last time I checked, none of them, including Lewis tried to choke a player on the other team. Hey, we are still undefeated and your team is not. "Pretenders" don't beat teams ranked in the top 5 at their place - "pretenders" lose to teams that lost to UNLV AT HOME and are desperate enough to win to resort to choking players on the other team.
Manny- Keep convincing yourself you won last year. You didn't. Blame the official, bottom line is Miami was outplayed and LOST. And yes Reynolds will get suspended/booted. Tressel is an honorable man and will do the right thing. I tend to think he'll just get suspended but let him stay on the team and even when he returns he'll have a very small role.
