OSU LINKS
I agree with all the dudes picks expect the rosebowl because OHIO sTATE SUCKS AND PRYOR CAN'T THOW THE O LINE CAN'T BLOCK AND THE d-LINE CAN'T TACKLE WITHOUT ROSE AND CARTER WHAT ALAUGH i SAY OREGON 48 osu 3
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should take a look at how much Rose actually played this season before you comment. He got some time in but he wasn't in on every down. Carter is still learning...I honestly would have red-shirted him but I'm not the coach.
ReplyDeleteLol @ the D-Line not being able to tackle without Rose, he was 3rd string DE lmao. Ohio State 33 Oregon 10
ReplyDeleteWhere I differ is it's hard for me to imagine Alabama not crushing Texas, Iowa can win their game, LSU should crush Penn St, the Rose Bowl will be most interesting. The Buck's are loaded with talent but I don't think Tressel hasn't shone much fight since he peaked as a coach in '06, sure Ohio State won their last last three games and everyone thinks they have some new offensive running scheme but they looked lazy doing, can the Buck D really stop a fast paced Duck team that put up 613 yards on Pete Carrol?

This is a much more intriguing matchup than some might believe. Ohio State's notorious conservatism and mistake avoidance masks the fact that they are a very opportunistic football team. Just look at the box score from this year's Wisconsin game. The Badgers kicked OSU's butt five ways from Sunday and still lost by almost twenty points. Why? Because OSU made them pay for every single one of their mistakes. Oregon can't just rely on firepower alone to beat the Buckeyes. Jim Tressel has a way of making you play Tresselball whether you want to or not.

This is a dream matchup for Oregon, facing a change-of-pace opponent in Ohio State, a team more talented and defensive-minded than most Pac-10 foes. Oregon is better defensively than gets let on, and, just the same, Ohio State has a better offense than observers realize. But the real star for Oregon is their offense. The Ducks' bread-and-butter is their ground attack which has 36 touchdowns on the year and can beat you with power (quarterback Jeremiah Masoli), speed (back LaMichael James) or both (LeGarrette Blount). Ohio State will almost certainly sell out to stop it and on the year the Buckeyes have been tremendous against the run. Its the classic unstoppable force meets immovable object showdown that showcases the Rose Bowl at its finest, pitting Pac-10 against
Big 10.

@Mark Hasty
ReplyDeleteTressel relies on his talent to win games, it's not like he has a scheme unless you call taking the game out of Terrelle's hands these past few games an offensive strategy, you can call it Tresselball or anything you want but the defensive plays made against Wisconsin or the kickoff return by Small was talent alone. When I think of Tresselball it relates more to the 36 total yards of Buckeye offense on their first 5 possessions of that game.
@Brian Gumble
"OSU has a better offense than observers realize" are you kidding me? What a laugh I think by now everyone has observed they have an inadequate QB, uneducated for the most important position on offense. Pryor might have a future in the NFL but it isn't at QB. This turnover machine was unplugged a few games ago if you hadn't noticed to focus on the offensive line, results = dramatically less turnovers.
The only thing interesting in this game will be to see if the Duck offense can be stopped.
HOLY CRAP -- I AM 0-6 after SMU clobbered Nevada tonight...
ReplyDeleteWTF?!?!?
