Have you ever received a second opportunity to achieve something in your personal or professional life?
College football fans understand that āThe Gameā refers to Ohio St. vs. Michigan. This historic matchup takes place every year in late November.Ā Ā
This year, the teams were in a ānail-biterā through three quarters. Unfortunately for Buckeye fans, Michigan dominated the fourth quarter by outscoring the Buckeyes 28-3! Will OSUās playoff HOPES be squashed?Ā
As a fan, I felt depressed because we didn't compete well in the fourth quarter. We got out-coached & outplayed! Since I'm an optimist through and through, I still had a glimmer of hope that my beloved Buckeyes could still sneak in the fourth playoff spot. It would take a āsmall miracle!āĀ
A Second Chance?
This past Friday, USC played Utah for The Pac-12 Championship.Ā
OSU fansā glimmer of HOPE rested on Utah upsetting #4 USC so the Buckeyes could potentially secure the fourth spot in the College Football Playoff.Ā
Utah dominated USC in the second half to win the conference title & knock them out of the College Football Playoff.Ā
Have you ever been given a second chance of some kind? If so, what was your strategy or plan of action to make the most of your SECOND CHANCE?Ā
Never Give Up HOPE:Ā
The Buckeyes will go head-to-head with #1 Georgia in a semi-final game on December 31st. There is HOPE but it's not going to be easy for the Buckeyes.Ā
What's the plan for the Buckeyes before game day? First of all, they are grateful for being given a RARE second chance to potentially win a National Championship.Ā
In general, the Buckeyes will have to play their A-game & not give up BIG PLAYS to the Bulldogs. The coaching staff needs to teach & coach at a higher level. With that said, the players must learn from their mistakes by watching films &Ā implementing their changes on the field. Hopefully, the OSU vs Georgia will turn out to be an ESPN classic!Ā
