I guess I can have 66 and maybe a couple of others from our "century" confirm, but in all my years in football, some as a player, some as a coach and an enormous amount as a fan, I can never remember a game where one team pretty much dominated the other and trailed 24-7 and that leads the specific reason - Has anyone ever seen a game where the offense literally gave the opponents 23 points? - I guess literally they gave them 16 but led directly to the other 7 --- for a team to give up 16 points when the opponent's offense didn't score any of those 16 - and what, one offensive play for the other 7 ??? - What kind of team can overcome such an obstacle? --- The APP STATE Mountaineers ARE THE ONLY ONES I KNOW OF ---

I'm not discrediting our comeback, but teams have comes back from larger deficits after turning the ball over to give a large lead. Doesn't happen often, but it's been done before. What I give us credit for though with our comeback... Ohio did not play prevent, or stop passing. We came back against a team that was still playing their style of football. That to me is the most impressive part of our comeback.

Yes - what I was trying to specify - probably not successfully - wasn't necessarily the points off turnovers but the points scored directly by the defense ---
