The HQ placed a phone call to New Orleans early in the first quarter as the Buckeyes took a 7-nothing lead against the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Sugar Bowl.
We knew Brother Martin was in attendance ((pictured with HIS brother Mon-tee, thanks to Marty his own self)) and he actually got to see a good one. A game that tOSU seemed to win despite itself- and Ryan Mallett's poor fundamentals driving for the winning score in a 31-26 loss to Ohio State.
Solomon Thomas dropped into coverage and picked Mallett with under a minute remaining to seal the win.
At times, the Buckeyes had to play defense with freshmen out on the field since their depth was tested with injuries- both temporary and permanent...
Like Chimdi Chekwa's broken wrist...

And here's coverage from New Orleans, thanks to our friends at KTHV in Little Rock...
Going into the game, Ohio State had lost its last nine games against the SEC dating
back to the Sugar Bowl loss against Alabama in the year 1728...You know...??? There was a Hall of Fame bowl loss to Auburn in there, too...???
It was a big game for the "Tattoo 5..."
Four of those Buckeyes made huge plays during the contest. DeVier Posey caught a touchdown pass and Dan Herron ran for a score as Ohio State built a 31-13 lead. Arkansas (now 10-3) raced back and had a chance for the win after a blocked punt turned over the ball at the Buckeyes 18 with 1:09 remaining.
The Mallett pick was the next play...
And we figured we'd only post one other photo of Marty spelling "O-H-I-O..." You know, all he really needed to do was one "O" and just copy the work from the first time... congratulations to the Vest and to the Flying Dzurenko Brothers...
