I had already moved on from USC. But I need to set one thing straight so this will be my last post about it. I have read a million times, and again this morning, how "OSU didn't go for it on 4th and 1". Even though it has been repeated over and over in the media and across the internet, "4th and 1" is a myth. It's inaccurate. It's misleading.

I was in the Stadium for that "4th and 1". They were at the south end of the field. The scoreboard said "4th and 1" and I was one of many screaming go for it, go for it. Then the quarter ended. As the clock expired, I thought "Super, we'll get to see them go for it down here"... Down here was our seats in lower C deck right on the north goal line.

A funny thing happened when they came to our end. Holly Cow, the official spotted the ball inches from the 2-yard line. It was right there in front of us. Suddenly the 4th and 1 was now 4th and 2. We and those around us turned on a dime from "Go for it", to "Kick it, Kick it". After the play we all agreed it was the right decision.

Now it's all over the internet that Tressel blew it when "he didn't go for it on 4th and one". Hogwash. If the yahoos on Yahoo or in the media want to debate whether you can and should quarterback sneak on 4th and 2, now that's an argument they can have all day. But if you are going to make claims about my team and our coach, at least get the numbers correct! 4th and 2 is a long way from 4th and 1, especially early in a ball game.
