Marshall 21, #9 Ohio State 24

Mira wears her Marshall windbreaker while watching the game

Marshall played #9 Ohio State (in front of over 100,000 fans in Columbus, OH) to a 21-21 tie late into the fourth quarter. They even intercepted a pass in OSU territory with under 7 minutes to play...but then, they blew it! A missed field goal, a shanked punt (by the same kicker) and some bad clock management later and OSU gets into field goal range with :02 left in the game.

As you can probably tell from the picture above, Mike Nugent made the 54-yard field goal as time expired to give OSU the win. I think there may be more tears ahead for Mira when Marshall travels to #3 Georgia next week.
