    Bump for those that just realized they need more information on this game.
     
    Because there will be 10 threads started in the next 4 hours: "Thoughs on Ohio State/USC?"

    Love USC today for all the reasons already stated by others.  Thinking about a HUGE 1st Half bet on the Trojans...or maybe just take them for the game.  What do you Guys think?

    Any Thoughts?

     

    Lets see if im right ..I chickened out of taking the points ,but got the under...GL TO ALL...

    As for OSU vs. LSU (LSU home game) and Florida (FLA D-line and Tebow blew up that game) the speed thing is just a general statement.  Hell, that same Florida team that crushed OSU got beat by Michigan the following year in a bowl game.  The combination of speed AND size kills..both teams have plenty of both.

    You still feel this way wagerfund?  USC has football speed. They might not be track guys, but with the pads on, they are lights out!

    I love you Mark Sanchez

    Godfather...

     

     

    you are not allowed to come on to game threads and message boards and talk mountains and mountains of shit about a game (and in turn giving a lot of people a lot of bad information) and then fucking disappear until you do the same thing next year...

     

    bring your ass back onto this thread, and bow down before all of the betting gurus that told you how this game would go... to the letter!  i've heard your OSU - breathing ignorant ass for too long...

     

    eat some crow, dude!

    OUTSTANDING!

     

    come back and give us your new opinion...

     

    over-hyped?  yea... USC is the team that was over-hyped coming into this year...

     

    will we ever hear you admit that your team is a joke when it comes to playing on the national stage?  have you figured that out yet?

     

    Ohio St is a joke when it comes to play a real college football team!

     

    PERIOD!

    OUTSTANDING!

     

    come back and give us your new opinion...

     

    over-hyped?  yea... USC is the team that was over-hyped coming into this year...

     

    will we ever hear you admit that your team is a joke when it comes to playing on the national stage?  have you figured that out yet?

     

    Ohio St is a joke when it comes to play a real college football team!

     

    PERIOD!

    and be very clear... this game had nothing to do with the absence of Beanie Wells... his presence in the game would have changed nothing!  and if you OSU fans really believe that you are truly hopeless... just suckers continuously giving Vegas your money...

He's not as fast as I was led to believe & I certainly wouldn't compare him to VY right now. I didn't see where tohio st was able to overpower ohio on any sort of a regular basis in that game. In fact, I was surprised at how well ohio was able to hold their own at the LOS on both sides.

     I've watched both games twice & I don't see any positions where tohio st has any advantage........

    I think the only breakdown was suffered by Duh Ohio State.......
     
    In hindsight, there was a lot of good info on this thread, and a lot not so good.
     
    If we're smart, we'll try and take away the good, and learn from it, rather than point fingers (although I WILL make an exception for GF16-who has now been reduced to GF9.99)
