Jan 5th
Fiesta Bowl..Glendale AZ
Texas 10.5/8  Ohio St.
53/52/51.5        ML -330/+270
 
Point Spread Ratings
Texas 91  Ohio St. 69.5
 
Line Movement
When the Lines Came out I jumped on Texas faster than a Man fresh out of Jail on a Hot Blonde .. I thought the Line would spike from 10.5 to 14+...  I am shocked that this line has dropped to -8... I Guess with everyone doubting the BIG 12 it will remain under 10 right through kickoff..
 
Texas Good
Colt McCoy is amazing completing  77.6 % of his Passes, 32 TD's only 7 Ints, 3445 Passing Yards... leading the Horns in Rushing with 576 yards and adding another 10 TD's ...
WR's Cosby and Shipley are outstanding combining for  157 Catches for 1934 Yards and 19 TD's ..Both are also very dangerous return men...
Texas is 9th in total Offense (476 YPG),4th in scoring offense (43.92 PPG), 35th in run offense (176.92 RYPG),,18th in scoring Defense (18.58 PPGA)
Texas Avg's an amazing 26.8 First downs a Game and an insane 57.1 % on 3rd down...83.3 % on 4th down..
 
Texas Bad
Playing in the Pass happy BIG 12 texas only had 6 INts this year..106th in the Nation vs the Pass allowing 266.33 Yards per game ...You Can't find  Much Fault in a team that only lost 1 Game at Texas Tech on a Last second play.. after storming back in the 2nd Half to take the lead..
 
 
Ohio St. Good
Beanie Wells is a Beast rushing for 5.7 YPC despite being banged up for most of the season..
Tyrelle Pryor is one or 2 years away from being a Superstar in College Football...
The Defense 7th overall in the Country..6th in scoring ,,19th vs the Run and 7th vs the Pass.. and 6th in Turnover Margin//
 
Ohio St Bad
OOOOO BOY  so Many Bad things going for a Team that has NOT beat 1 Good team this year....
Scored a Combined 9 Points vs USC and Penn St.
Only decent win was at a soft Michigan St, squad...
Did not Impress me with wins over fellow Little 10/11Schools,Michigan ,Wisconsin ,Purdue  ,Illini ,Northwestern and Minnesota ... The Buckeyes Lucked out not playing Iowa bc they most likely would have Lost...
LB James Laurinaitis is the Most Overrated player in the Nation...I just rewatched the Game vs OHIO when the BobCats QB Boo Jackson Juked and Broke JL's ankles Over and Over Again...   
 
Game Forcast
If Ohio St falls behind early like i think they will this Game could get really Ugly.. Richard Pryor will find it much harder to run vs Texas than Northwestern... McCoy will have a Monster game and Might jump ship to the NFL(although he said he is staying for his Sr. year). A Texas Win in the Fiesta Bowl will send them to #2 and if Oklahoma beats Florida the Longhorns will feel like National Champions (having beat the Sooners) A Texas Win should have them Ranked #1 heading into Next year..
 
Texas 44
Ohio St  23

Great write up Double up...
 
I am still deciding here, however I think if OSU can control the clock with Wells and Pryor's legs and keep that Texas offense on the sideline that this might be closer than people think.

Double,
It's not people doubting the big 12 as 2/3 are still hammering Texas it's that the big money and the sharps are on Ohio St.Be careful This is a very similar situation to the Bama and Oregon game

Double - How nervous will you be when the Buckeyes jump out to an early lead?  If they get the lead its going to be ball control offense and I can already see this Texas team in a panic.  Think a lot of things have to go Texas way in order for them to get a cover.  I believe this game will come down to a final drive by Texas, if the convert they win if they don't the lose.

  Good Luck Brother.  You know I'm on the other side.  Also, leanin Over

I dont beleive in those Fake Numbers that are released by the Casino's etc...

I can't compare Texas to a Bama team with almost no Passing Game .. I felt going into  the Oregon vs Oklahoma St Game that everything Favored the Ducks ....The Little 10/11 is a Joke and we have been presented a Gift by The Suckeys being thrown to the Wolves in a BCS game that they have almost 0 chance of winning ... IMO that is  

BOL Brother and Thanks For posting ...

You are correct sir ... Ohio St will have to control the clock to have any chance ... I just don't see it ... I see Texas jumping out early and Pulling away

BOL either way you go Brother ... thanks for Posting
