Last weekend D and I ran up to Columbus for the first football game of the season. The Buckeyes struggled much more against Navy than they should have, but it made for a great game.
Things went a little awry when, at 29-14, OSU missed an extra point early in the fourth quarter. A little later the Bucks failed to convert on a 4th and 2. On the very next play Navy jumped to within eight (29-21) after a huge completion for a score. On the next Ohio State drive, Pryor’s pass was intercepted and another Navy TD followed. With the score at 29-27, Navy elected to attempt the 2 point conversion. After a horrible forth quarter, the Buckeyes finally stepped up. Navy’s endzone pass was intercepted and ran all the way back to give OSU 2 points. With only a couple minutes remaining, OSU received the onside kick and ran out the clock, 31-27. Huge dissappointment averted!
Halftime was awesome, too, as TBDBITL was joined by the huge alumni band to perform the 4-way Script Ohio. At the end of the formation, John Glenn and his wife were led out as honorary i-dotters. From circling the Earth to dotting the “i”. Pretty sweet.
