NO.
I hate dOSU, and I was rooting for the Ducks, but Urban Meyer punching in another TD with a minute and change to go and sitting on a 2 TD+ lead already is exactly why he is probably the best coach in the game today.
On the same token, Fitz would have laid off not even in that last drive, but as he has on countless occasions he would have let the foot off the gas (or at least change utterly what is working) after half time up two scores (see @Penn State a few yeares back), and let Oregon come back and roll over us. It is one reason among many why we are a 5 win program and why the national championship is so remote for us under this regime, much to my dismay.
dOSU did what champions do. They leave nothing to chance. They are relentless. They have no mercy. They have no problem rolling up a score of 59-0 in the B1G championship game, a score without which they would probably not have made the playoff. And a score, which we will never hope to dream of attaining against anyone at NU. Anyone who saw years ago Fitz do exactly what he always does and let MSU come back to beat us after a 35-3 lead with a quarter and change to go should know, YOU NEVER EVER LET UP. You call it classy, I call it stupid. Disturbingly, Fitz never seems to have learned from his mistake, which appears to par for the course, but then I digress...
I hate dOSU and am disgusted by what they do off the field. On the field, we have much to learn from them.
