Our D matches up favorably w/ OSU's O


Dec 4, 2016, 3:28 PM

They're very young and have struggled mightily on offense, mostly due to a soft OL (as Herbie said, their "tackles are a big concern"), an ultra-conservative OC who has taken a lot of heat from their fanbase, and a quarterback with accuracy issues (he didn't complete a pass for 3 quarters against Indiana). They rarely take any shots downfield and like to run Barrett quite a bit inside, which plays right into our hands, as we hold a significant advantage upfront. I think they'll be forced to play far outside of their comfort zone in this one.

Also, the talking heads are quick to point out our close calls, yet you rarely hear about the fact that the OSU beat 6-6 Northwestern and 3-9 Michigan State by a combined 5 points.

I can't believe they are a 3 point favorite. Probably because of the amount of buckeye fans. I think we win by 7

Agreed, and they may be dealing with a coaching change in the next week or two, as DC Greg Schiano's name is linked to a number of openings, including Oregon.

I love the fact we are underdogs. Dabo does his best work getting his team ready playing the underdog role.
