Wake Forrest 2 - Ohio State 1

[Newcastle]

What a game!!!  My only problem is the mentioning that this would be the first time either team would win the NCAA Div 1 Championship every two minutes.

Yes it was sloppy at times (the wind factor was huge) but it was exciting to the very end.

Was it just me, or did THE Ohio State University play durrrrrty?  They seemed a little too self-assured with that one goal lead, and then looked panicy when they went down one.  I was rooting for WF really quick.

completely agree...I also thought the boot to the face was worth more than a yellow...

this was on espn

..."Wake Forest had a key defensive injury of its own. Senior Julian Valentin was kicked in the head late in the second half, and blood poured out of his face while he received medical attention on the sideline.

Valentin took 30 stitches after the game to close cuts to the bridge of his nose, cheek and brow, but he had no complaints."

I'm sure Valentin didn't care, all he had to do to get back at Espinoza was proudly display the championship trophy...  ;D

But that was a NASSTTYYY high kick, probably one of the worst I've ever seen in my 18 year life...

Great game though... Back and Forth... You could just tell WF was going to win that game the way they kept bringing the pressure OVER and OVER again...

Hopefully it's a sign to come for the BCS championship game... Can we say, 2 Buckeye teams lose in the NC!? Dang right!

I finally got to watch the game and really enjoyed it. WF is definitely the better team. The way they could counter attack was the difference in the game. The high kick to the face didn't look that bad until the camera showed Valentin on the sideline. Wow he got smacked. Next year's College Cup is going to be played at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
