Me too! Ohio State shouldn't be getting in the playoffs in my opinion and a whole lot of others. But, they will. They will hopefully get annihilated by our Tigers! I know T. Sermon ran it like a crazy man today - but that had not been their M.O. all year! I think NW sold out to stop Fields from getting off passing it and it opened up run lanes. They did the opposite of what teams do against us with Travis! Who can't run for a bunch of yards if you are 8 yards down field before you have to even make anybody miss. We have the personnel to play them straight up! We've seen Fields(BV has up close and personal and he knows what types of defenses get what reaction from Fields on a instinctual level). BV will exploit that! Ohio State's new starters will not have been seasoned enough to deal with Clemson's new starters who played 11 games! Nearly double.
Bama - not saying it will - but that offense has been called the best thing ever before! It is amazing and will be hard to stop. But, if you can slow down Joe Burrow and that offense, you can slow down this offense! Yes, I thought we slowed it down - we just couldn't score and hold on to the ball. Against a offense like that you have to score when you get it. We didn't and the defense played far too many plays. They were bound to make some plays. So will Bama! But, I think we can score on them too! Trevor wants redemption from the NCG last year and I don't think he will be denied having a strong performance! Especially if Jones is awarded the Heisman!
ND - would get thumped harder than they did on Saturday if we play again! Once BV has a idea about your personnel and where you are likely to attack his defense - call the coroner!
