Final. Another dominating performance by the home team. The Buckeyes will take on Oregon in the Rose Bowl at 5:00pm on Jan. 1.

Embarrassing showing by Tennessee.

At least they warmed up with no shirts on. 

Welcome to the cold.

The Buckeyes definitely owned this game and they didn’t score a point in the second quarter. I expected them to win but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Tennessee looked bad just about the whole game.

Spot on assessment. Of all the first round blowouts, this one may have been the worst in the sense of the other team feeling they had absolutely no shot.

I agree. It is probably a toss up between this one and SMU against Penn State. I won’t lie, I bought into SMU some.

I was impressed with the amount of orange that got in. That was the only impressive thing Tennessee did.

I thought this was wildly overstated. It was more than a typical home game, but not nearly what people acted like it was going to be.

My cousins daughter is a senior at UT and of course she was at the game. Obviously she wasn’t happy with the result, but seeing her pictures she took inside the stadium, there was a good bit of orange there.

I was just looking at the Orange in the stands. I saw a video taken from a press box or suite facing Tenn sideline and there was a large amount of orange in the upper and lower sections. They were definitely spread out through the stadium and not just in one area of the stadium.

NY Times article from the Athletic said Tennessee had over 20,000 at the game. By comparison the most Michigan has ever had come to Columbus is around 7,000.
