Despite Jim Tressel's notorious passion for punts, he never dialed up a punt on third down in his career (as far as I know, at least). But after watching this clip, maybe he should have.
I'm generally team "go for it on fourth down even in the most egregious of circumstances" and I would probably coach most football games like I was playing Madden. So I was very prepared to hate this decision. ... but then I watched the clip. They caught them totally off guard and completely flipped the field by using a punt as a trick play. I'm stunned to admit that it was... kind of genius?
