How bad will Texas beat Ohio State?

Good luck to Oklahoma and Florida, should be a really good game. 

hope this wasn't directed at my post, i never said you guys were bitching, i just said that you got fucked.  My buddy lives in Austin, and he echoed your statement of pissed but moving on.  And as i said, i like texas in the game and i 'm a die hard buckeye fan.

Not at all, my friend.  I've even seen threads started about all the whining, and honestly I've seen more non-Texas fans saying we got hosed, than actual fans!  That wasn't really meant for anyone in particular, just generally speaking.  GL to you.

Tressel will have his team ready and the 9+ spread will give him plenty of motivation and bulletin board material. I am pro Ohio State so I may be somewhat biased but I wouldn't count on Texas rolling in and steam rolling them 52-10 or something like that.

 

Don't get me wrong I'm definately  but Ohio St. is too solid of a team to get rolled big. Their only loss that was pathetic and immediately put them out of National Champ contention was their debacle against USC at USC early in the year before Pryor had done anything. They are certainly a much better team now and Tressel is a solid big game coach (and I don't want to hear about the meltdown against FLA. a few years back).

 

I'm going with THE Ohio State University!!!!

Robert Griffin only had a decent game, because TX had just played OU, Mizzou, OSU, and Tech.  and even then, they backdoor covered in the final two minutes.

I don't like the whole system of looking at OOC games.  It only makes sense on a very small scale.  Do you know when the games were scheduled for this year?  Probably 3-4 years ago.  How can you expect a team to build its credibility OOC when you need a crystal ball to see in the future.  I would bet just about any other year that Arkansas would be better than Cinncy.  Its all luck to some degree, yea you can schedule small conference teams and blow them out or a mediocre major conference team and hope they are decent.  Cinncy finished 7th out of 8 teams in the big east when OU scheduled them.  My point is that OOC is all luck and really shouldn't make or break a team because OU beat the Big East champ that could be beat my Nebreska and Baylor. 

Anyhow, Texas rolls here with their defense.  I'm 4-0 on texas this year and its all been about the defense matching up against the opponent.  Run defense is very solid, Mushchamp doesn't like to let the opposition get ANY kind of run game going.  Pryor will struggle with the speed of the pass rush and linebackers.  I'll take Muschamp with a month of preparation over a freshman QB with shaky throwing any day.  It could a long day for the OSU offense if they dont get a running game established early!
