So if the Big Televen had a conference championship, tOSU woulda been sharp?
I don't think it was the length of the layoff. Florida was off over 30 days. Lack of much play didn't seem to hurt them in Austin. They came out cocky and talking trash. Expecially after Ginn's runback. They were bowing up to everything from the players to the mascot.
What sunk tOSU was the fact that during the whole layoff, all they heard was how great they were and how this was gonna be a walkover. They found that talking trash and strutting doesn't cut it.
Florida, OTOH, heard the same and got super-motivated to practice well and be prepared. they came out fearless and ready to unload.
And they did.
