Chas Man No. 7 Share Posted yesterday at 01:51 AM (edited) Gotta say that I'm surprised OSU only has 7 points in the waning minutes of the first half. Compared to 34 on OBD, you have to wonder what happened to our defense. Edited yesterday at 01:52 AM by Chas Man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 15 Share Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM That was the nail in the coffin. Ohio State just said “We’re done playing with you guys”. OSU gets the ball back after the half.

This is the same OSU team that beat Oregon. Their defense is just as aggressive and they’re handling Sark’s offense pretty well. The big difference is Oregon’s defense couldn’t stop them. Howard is tentative now that he has to play All-American defensive backs. Howard needs another big pass play to stick a fork in Texas’s defense.

GatOrlando No. 41 Share Posted yesterday at 04:58 AM Does Oregon get extra if a B1G team goes further? Trying to justify some of my fellow SEC fans for going for Texas. I can't become a fan of another team because of conference affiliation. I was hoping you guys would get your first title. Now I have to pick between Notre Dame and Ohio State? I'll just say good luck to either fan base. Maybe I'll switch to college basketball. Oregon got a big win over Ohio State last night and Florida crushed the undefeated and number one ranked Tennessee by thirty a couple nights ago. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 42 Share Posted yesterday at 05:02 AM Who knew, Jeremiah Smith could be covered? The D except in Autzen, never let Ohio State down the entire season. It wasn't pretty but it sets up a shot to stuff the Domers. The ACC facilitates ND's independence. $20M + so far for ND and the good Fathers aren't sharing the loot. Buckeyes open -9.5! Marcus Freeman beat PSU and James Franklin but I don't believe he will defeat his alma mater. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon is a half-share media revenue partner through the next media deal but gets 1/18th of what OBD, Indiana, Penn State, and Ohio State bring in from the CFB PO and the B1G makes from the CBB Tournament.

Buckfrombirth2 No. 45 Share Posted yesterday at 05:12 AM Thanks for the confidence in the Buckeyes, Jon. I, for one, wanted Penn State, but Big Game James made his usual Big Game Decisions throughout. OSU is typically solid against ND, but the games are often tighter than they should be on paper. Freeman is also growing into a fine head coach. The Irish can beat anyone and just give me the creeps. BTW, congrats on the B1G championship this year and good luck next season. It's great to have the Ducks in the conference. Pure class. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
