Question for OSU fans

Or any other fans for that matter. I just watched a replay of the 2007 NC game for the first time since the original. I know, I know, we've talked about this 1 bazillion times. But I didn't really get to "watch" the game until the second time through. With all the emotions and beer, it was hard to really watch what went on.
So, here's my question. Besides the penalties your team received for, IMHO, stupid mistakes that they should not have made, what's the one thing you would have liked your team to do better?
Personally, I think your team did really well, except for the middle part of the game. The only aspect of the game I thought you were out gunned, was your WR's v. our CB's and safeties. If yall would have ahd a passing game, it might have been a little closer. Obviously, I look for this to improve this year, since your two starting Wr's will be coming back.
What was your team's "weakness" during that game. Composure, passing, D line . . .

Their main weakness was their inability to handle our O-line I think. That number 1 ranked defense never had a chance. I just watched the game again Sunday and Flynn had all day, backs had holes. OSU's front seven were not effective. I think the tackle leaders were either Laurinitis or some DB.

Once they got down by 21 points, they pretty much abandoned Beanie Wells as their primary weapon (and I'm sure Bo's adjustments didn't help).

I've only seen the game once, and like you, I wasn't really watching certain tendencies/players/matchups the first time like I would if I was watching the second time. I was "just watching the game".
One thing I remember we did poorly was pass blocking. I think our running game was good, but I think your tackles got too much penetration on our guards and center. I think we did okay, not great on your ends, but, yeah, your D-line in general played very well.

I feel that the Buckeyes truly lost their composure in that second quarter. And at the same time, LSU was playing great football. I think they fell apart when the Tigers came back on them the way they did. At least this time they came out ready to play, unlike the NCG with Florida. Unfortunately, that readiness didn't last long enough for this to be a real battle. I think the Bucks are starting to learn that you cannot hiccup against a great team like LSU, because before you know it, you look at the scoreboard and the game is over! Good luck this year Tigers!!!!

In my opinion, the big difference in the game was LSU's offense really beating Ohio State's defense. I don't believe that Gholston had a single tackle and even though Laurenitis(sic) had 18 or 19 tackles, they were all downfield after gains by LSU. I do not believe he made a single tackle behind the line of scrimmage. We scored a crapload of ponts and could have scored more had we not had such a large lead. Ohio State's #1 defense was nor really even good against what most considered an average LSU offense.
