    Agreed they were in total control of that game.

    Do you think it would've made a difference in the outcome if that OSU running back had played in the game?

    Peace

    yes. enough for ohio state to win? probably not. but it would not have been as one-sided. ohio state's first 2 possessions got them into the red zone. they settled for a field goal from the 5 and missed another after an absurd number of miscues. wells would have scored. the next drive, they were again in the red. with wells they might have scored, instead of boeckman's pathetic miscues putting them out of field goal range. that's a 14-7 game with osu in the lead. much different from a momentum standpoint. who knows where it could have gone from there.

    that said, i don't think they could have contained usc or necessarily continued scoring indefinitely solely based on wells. so they probably still would have lost, but they would not have looked nearly as hapless as they did. that's the big difference between osu and usc... depth. ohio state is very vulnerable beyond their stars. usc is not vulnerable anywhere. the sec has shown the same thing.
    and like that... he's gone.
