Mason had a big one too back in the day. It was against Penn St if I remember right. I can't, for the life of me, remember his name but the WR that got drafted by the Ravens made a huge play at the end and we kicked a GW FG.
Seems like that was in 1999. Correct? Or am I going too far back? I seem to remember watching that one in my apartment in Bemidji. Penn State #2 in the country at the time? That's how I remember it anyway.
Not sure about the year either but PSU being #2 sounds right. It was a massive win, I remember that much. The only one close to that, that I can remember was Mason telling Rhys Lloyd "don't forget the axe".
Remember after the PSU win they beat OSU but then lost to Indiana the following week
I was right...it was 1999. Just heard Mackey and Judd talk about it this morning. Mackey claims that win was bigger than a win tomorrow vs. OSU would be. I disagree. I think a win tomorrow would be bigger. It would give us a legitimate chance to win the West and get into the B10 Championship Game.
I'll say it right now.
We find a way to beat OSU Saturday?
It'll be easily the biggest win in my lifetime.
That's why it seems highly unlikely.
OSU is on a mission, and is loaded with young talent. This isn't a struggling Buckeye program, like could be said of some other struggling "powers".
Beating Nebraska now, isn't that impressive. Beating Michigan now, isn't impressive at all.
Beating THIS OSU team would mean we are relevant. For the first time in a very very long time.
