Chris Brown, who is the smartest cfb blogger currently going (sorry MD ), had the following commentary (Jeremiad?) regarding "Tresselball" and how Tressel's refusal to take any risks in his offense basically handed the game to USC last Saturday.
Agree with the depth, insight and overall accuracy of Brown's piece. That said, comparing USC vs. Ohio State and LSU vs. Vandy is comparing apples and elephants.

I was mostly just looking for an excuse to post that link. 
And I agree that the comparison is invalid, because USC and Ohio St have roughly the same talent levels. LSU and Vandy do not. Therefore, we didn't pay a price for failing to stretch the field vertically, because we could just outmuscle Vandy and wear them down by the 4th quarter. Ohio St. didn't have that option against USC; and we won't have that option against Florida.
