Two Dissapointing Games

This weekend was a little painful for me, football-wise.

Saturday, the Ohio State Buckeyes barely pulled out a win against Illinois. I guess it wasn't "barely". OSU controlled the game until the last four minutes of the fourth quarter. The first half started OK and Ohio State was up 17 to zero at half time. The second half, the Illinois defense stepped up and the OSU offense got cold. Troy Smith and the crew couldn't move the ball. Illinois' offense started working and took advantage of some OSU turn-overs. The last few minutes of the game got scary sine OSU had to punt the ball away again. Illinois tried to block it, but failed and the punt went to thier 3 yard line with 4 seconds left in the game. I guess it was exciting, but nerve wracking as well.

Sunday, I watched Cleveland play San Diego. It was a really good game, except that Cleveland endedup losing it. It was SO frustrating since Cleveland basically controlled the game offensively and defensively, but they couldn't get the ball into the endzone until it was too late. When your field goal kicker gets six field goals, there is a problem. The Browns finally did score a touchdown, but only after the game was out of reach. Really, they should have won, but San Diego got a TD after Frye fumbled the ball into the endzone and the Chargers recovered for a score. Well, it was still a good game and Cleveland prooved that they can play with the 'good' teams.
