When an ESPN football analyst pleads for sportsmanship after demoralizing Orange Bowl performance by the Iowa Buckeyes, who were hammered 35-0 by the Tennessee Volunteers.
With 38 seconds on the clock Tennessee were still out there trying to score points and this irked Brock Osweiler, who pleaded for sportsmanship.
“I don’t love this move here by the Vols right now. They had an opportunity to run out the clock, I get it, you got some backups in there. They’ve worked hard, they’ve earned reps. But there is also a sportsmanship element to this game well within hand, 35-0,” Osweiler said.
The competitive nature of sport, and finals football at college level will see not much sympathy, as the Buckeyes were their own worst enemies.
