Praise be to the Lord, that Mr. Shuler will be fine.

After that scare, he emerged from the injury tent, and got back on the field for position drills.

Go to the five minute mark. Rather than attack the ball or the receiver, Adon waited back to make the INT.

This play changed the course of our season.

I love Adon. He is a worthy Captain. But he erred on this play.

So glad to know that his injury is not serious.

Hell, they couldn't even get the calls in in a reasonable time. Guys were still scrambling and trying to communicate when the ball was snapped play after play.

Chris Ash was in his "let's use the tOSU defense" mode, where he would only rush 4 down linemen, and let the rest play soft coverage.

That defense worked great for tOSU, because they had 4 monstrous defensive linemen, all of whom ended up playing on Sundays. Those guys generated so much pressure, that there was no need to blitz, or even to play aggressive man to man coverage.

That didn't work well for us, since our linemen weren't nearly that caliber, and losing Leonard Moore for a bit really hurt.
