Regarding @terry's post about the interceptions.  A high caliber qb having a ball tipped at the line of scrimmage or in the secondary and being intercepted yields the same result as a lesser QB staring down his receiver and getting picked.  Tipped balls are how we lost in 2OT to ISU. 

I'm not talking about passes that were tipped by the defense and intercepted. I'm talking about perfect passes by Luck that hit his receivers squarely in the hands, but were dropped by the receivers and ended up bouncing to a defender. That happened to Luck three times this year. On another interception, Luck threw a good pass, but his receiver fell down just after Luck threw the ball, and the ball went to a defender who was behind the receiver. Those aren't plays that the defense created. The defense didn't disrupt anything or tip anything. A defense cannot plan or practice those plays. Sure, it could happen again, but if it does, it won't be because of anything Oklahoma State does.
