Now that the biggest game of the week, the one that had been circled on so many calendars, is over, we have time for the dreaded post-game analysis.

This wasn't the 28-13 score that I predicted (in favor of USC), but it was one fantastic defensive exhibition on both sides of the ball, coupled with a Hollywood ending.

Coming into this game, both USC and OSU had question marks in key areas. For Ohio State, the questions were simple, but the answers potentially daunting:

1) Has OSU turned a corner after clutching defeat from the jaws of victory in last year's Fiesta Bowl game against Texas?

2) Is Jim Tressel (OSU's coach) too conservative?
