I think we can talk about the coaching miscues - such as the poor goal line offense and the defensive disaster on the screen - but I think think biggest difference was osu's Elite players making two game changing plays that were touchdowns on the screen and strip/sack t - while our elite players didn't make game altering plays for 4 quarters.
On offense, all season we didn't have a player that could do what Henderson did... beat one man and house it. Maybe it was because Quin cannot throw accurately further than 30 yards, Bond being injured, Blue fumbling too much, or a host of other reasons, but there was no one on this offense that could make an explosive, game changing play throughout the season or on Friday. We missed a J. Charles, Shipley, Worthy, Roy Williams, Ricky Williams, etc. type of player that could just take one to the endzone.
Even on Defense, as excellent as the unit was, they only had one defensive touchdown all year against UTSA.
Let's hope Ffrech, Arch, Wingo, Moore, a healthy Baxter, transfer portal player, or someone else can step up to add some dynamism to the offense next season. Someone has to stretch the field consistently next season.
