OSU equals 3rd or 4th best team we've played


Dec 18, 2016, 7:16 PM

Top opponents we've faced this year..or will face
1. Louisville (before late season slide)
2. FSU
3/4 VT or OSU...it's a toss-up

I think the Big Ten is overrated as a whole..
Before you dismiss what I'm saying ..ask yourself could you see an OSU loss to any of the aforementioned teams..I certainly could..
This is not to say that OSU will be a cakewalk..it won't ...we could lose..just as we could've lost to FSU or Louisville

Re: OSU equals 3rd or 4th best team we've played


Dec 19, 2016, 1:10 AM

Thanks even though you are a buckeye. Reasoning for me saying OSU is the best team we will play up to that point is cause we haven't faced a secondary that is in the same universe as OSU. We have played some good OL but no center like Elflien, but, and I think you will agree, the RT Price, will get destroyed by Christian Wilkins. Only reason I say that is cause every game I have watched yall play (MICH, PSU, IU, Wis, OU) he got beat and beat badly for majority of the game. With that being said, Weber isn't as good as Dalvin Cook from FSU. OSU DL has speed off the edge, somewhat stingy. Receivers other than Samuels are a little inexperienced but talented kinda like FSU. Samuels is one of the best All purpose players I have seen in the country this year. And IMO JT, as good a leader and competitor he is, will be the 3rd best QB we have faced this year.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree - Ohio State will be the best team we will have played


Dec 19, 2016, 8:51 AM

On a neutral field - today - I would take OSU over any of the teams we played. OSU does what it needs to do in order to win. Sometimes it is ugly - just like it is for Clemson. OSU has had tight games and so has Clemson. Both have on occasion blown out lesser opponents. OSU runs the spread and so does Clemson. OSU emphasizes the run due to their strengths with personel. And they do it well. When Clemson:s running game is working, we are very balanced. But often it doesn't and then we become pass happy.

My assumption is it will be another high scoring game just like VT, FSU, UL, PITT, etc where Clemson wins by 4 with a last minute stop (yes, I've said this on other threads). This is much more likely than the three touchdown predictions I see in other threads.

You can play that game with Louisville or FSU too


Dec 19, 2016, 8:47 AM [ in reply to Re: Come on. Some of ya'll are being ridiculous. They are ]

Louisville blew out FSU and then what? Their 2nd most impressive performance was probably a loss at Clemson. They were good at blowing out really bad teams. Yay?

You also failed to mention that they beat Oklahoma and Wisconsin on the road. Two teams rated similarly to Louisville and FSU. Going 3-1 against OU, Wisc, PSU, and Michigan with 3 out of 4 on the road is pretty darn good.

Anyway, don't just take my word for it...

Oklahoma and Wisconsin in my estimation cancel out Louisville and FSU .
Then there is Michigan whom I felt all year was worse than their record.
This sudden love affair with the B1G puzzles me . I still maintain that FSU/Louisville and Clemson wiuld finish 1 /2 and maybe 4 in that league ...this year .

They are not the best offense but probably the best defense and overall team we have faced all year. I would argue that FSU and Louisville have a better offense. Auburn had a pretty good defense but OSU is definitely the best top to bottom. Their recruiting rivals FSU.

Look, I picked Clemson to beat us (Ohio State) because I think Clemson is ridiculously talented at the right positions and has the best player in the country. I give you guys a 50/50 shot to beat Bama if it comes to that.

BUT Ohio State would bury Louisville six feet under ground and #### on its grave.

Gotta chuckle at some of the responses..
Some folks take this stuff way too serious..
It's college football not rocket surgery..
I'm looking at you OSU fan that wants to make sure we know you speak 3 languages..great for you ..can you post your resume too? Hahaha..
I stand by my original post..it's all hypothetical really..and anyone so certain it's wrong should probably calm down..
It's not like I said we're going to win by 100 or something..Urban Meyer is one of the best coaches in college football..this will be a tough game..but seriously..OSU doesn't have a single player on their offensive side as talented as Dalvin Cook..and the FSU defense (while not well coached) is highly talented..

The fun thing is...FSU plays Michigan..and as we all know Clemson plays OSU..so we will get some 1st hand evidence of how great (or not) the Big Ten is...
I think the Big Ten is overrated..this year and last.. Michigan State got embarrassed last year.. granted Bama can do that to anyone but still..

have played all year, especially in the secondary. Their offense may not be as explosive as it was several years ago, but they still have loads of talent on that side as well. Plus, generally speaking, Urban Meyer is money in big games. This game will be quite the battle.

Dec 19, 2016, 10:52 AM

OSU has a greats secondary but have they been tested? How many teams have as much talent at WR as Clemson does? Not many they will push them. They have seen one team maybe all year with a great WR and that was OU and Mayfield had like 5 turnovers. Clemson will have MW, AS, DC, HR, JL running around in their secondary. Their linebackers ain't that great in coverage. Same we can say for ours. But with Dorian back we will be fine.

For what it's worth (maybe nothing), Dede Westbrook's one TD against Ohio State came against a backup corner after Conley went out with a shoulder injury. Mayfield threw two picks, not five, and barely completed 50% of his passes

I don't necessarily think that means anything because Watson is way better than Mayfield and has more weapons ...but people who keep saying Mayfield lit up Ohio State's D but kept turning it over in the red zone or something clearly did not watch the game

I don't see that either.. OSU losing to Syracuse...never happen..
But VT on their best day on a neutral field..which is basically what we saw in the ACC championship game..they are a very good team..
I'm looking at not the totality of the season but more so.. each team when we played them..
Hence why I stated Louisville (pre late season slide)...We also crushed Syracuse..so by that logic..the VT game should've been a laugher..it wasn't..because you can't use that kind of logic in college football ..and VT also doesn't suck..

We finished the 1st half up by 7..
We won the game by 7..
There was a point in between when we led by 21 but that didn't last..

Everyone on the board complains about our lack of "killer instinct"..but neglects to acknowledge the quality of our opponents...
Fuente is a good coach..lots of teams would love to have VTs QB...
Sometimes it's not a lack of "killer instinct" as much as it is playing a good opponent that refuses to give up..

Dec 19, 2016, 12:53 PM [ in reply to Re: Oh please...VT=OSU? get the #### out of here...I don't see ]

we were on the verge of blowing them out, and all 3 plays went in their favor and enabled them to stay in the game and keep some momentum. The O'Daniel targeting, the fake punt that was inches from being a penalty, and the hail mary on the mannequin play. I do give them a lot of credit for capitalizing after those and continuing to fight like hell all game long, but if any of those plays goes in our favor that game could've easily turned into a blowout with them unable to get any momentum back. We were pretty clearly the better team.
