That's really my only disagreement. After we got the ball on the 50 following the safety, score there and you step on their throats. We really didn't kill much clock with 3 straight line plunges for 3 total yards. Pick up a first down and you're looking at killing a couple of minutes.

A couple of things of little substance to add here.
Score that last stinkin TD. I remember in a similar situation we took a knee because a TD+ extra point would have put us up by 8, giving the other team a very slim chance. This time it would have put us up by 14 with less than a minute to go. All smart *** comments aside even we can't jack that up. Plus it's Tech.
Has one team ever done 3 onside kicks in a game in major college ball? That's got to be some kind of record.
If I'm a Tech fan I'm feeling a little like we did after the UT game. Just too benevolent. It wasn't as many turnovers but they gave us some gifts.

What are the percentages that a team loses a fumble in the victory formation, while taking a knee, then the other team recovers that fumble, then goes 90+ yards in 46 seconds with no timeouts?
I've never seen it
When Jackson went down there was 1:26 left
Thats how much time Tech would have had if he would have scored.
I've seen teams score twice in 1:26
Literally the only way we had a chance of losing was to let Tech play offense again.
Tech's defense barely even moved on the knee downs.
The only thing we screwed up was that we didn't let the play clock go all the way down.
We needed to make sure Sanders went down under:40 or close enough to where the 2nd knee was the last play of the game.
We should have only had to run 1 play or at least made the 2nd play the last play of the game
If you're Tech, which one would you rather have had.....
The ball with 1:26 or OSU taking a knee with :46 seconds left

A little different in that the only "gift" I'd say was the onside. No need for it there, but that's the time those have the best chance of working, and you can say they were playing aggressively and trying to win. The Sterling pick was just a veteran play from time in the film room, all him. The other turnovers evened out between the two teams. I may be forgetting something though.
Offense lost 34-44. Defense/ST scored 16 points and saved our butts. No way I give offense a B. I give Dez Jackson a huge 
for the work he did but overall not a B.

The whole game can be summed up by the following, tech was bad enough that they couldn’t punish our depleted OL. My hope is we continue to progress on the OL. On defense, a couple of missed run fits and the one CB who kept getting torched away from another good performance. We have the weapons and the defense, we just need to keep getting better on the line and heal up.

I was happy to see sterling have another great game after OU picked on him pretty badly last week. As usual, malcolm rodriguez continued his all American season IMO, we need a new award to give to him and Wallace, because they perform every week.
Ogbongbamiga made a couple of big plays as well
