Thank you for posting this. It's amazing how $$$ can influence play.

There was not a spot of Longhorn orange in the crowd. And when the Red Raiders came out and jumped on UT early, the crowd exploded. They literally willed their team on. I could see the same thing happening again this Saturday where a lesser skilled teams rises to the occasion behind the support of the home fans.

Agree....When OSU has lost at night in the shoe the game has been very close.

The game last year was a blow out, but lets look inside those numbers.

OSU had the 1H yard edge.
OSU had 2 TD's called back.
OSU missed a chip FG.
Top player RB Wells was out
TP was a non- factor

Ohio state has been a dominate 47 - 1 at home vs non conference opponents, with a lone loss to eventual national champe Texas in 05 (a game they blew on a dropped TD by the TE). They have only been a home dog 3 times in the last 10 years going 1 -2. OSU is 12 - 5 ATS vs non conference BSC teams.

Don't buy the ESPN hype machine that this team can't hang with the talent of OSU. They can and they will tomorrow.

OSU +7

All of which has as much to do with the price of eggs this year!

To answer the thread question....you don't know, pick your team and root for them! USC looks good on the matchups and quite frankly, I think OSU IS the one that is over hyped and over rated and I live in OH! I like USC in this game giving the points on the road, two time zones and in primetime....This will be fun to watch for both sides....May the line move so we ALL win! OR tease the SOB and catch the middle, haha....best of luck fellas on your picks!

Better recruits went to SC the last few years compared to OSU, really compared to almost everyone. Better scheme and coaching. Home field has to be the big issue going for OSU.

Pryor is a project not a comeback QB. Can OSU run on SC, that is the question.

glad I stayed away from this game. I knew something was wrong with -7.

Too bad buckeye fans, your team choked and your coach sucks. Great to come away with a STEAL. Have fun playing in a non-BCS game this year.

Eat shit Godfather.

look around dipshit. You'd know I stayed away from this game. check myspace here and you'll see.

Insert foot in mouth after reading.

And for the record, I do bet on USC, and when I do, its 80% correct. I;m not a homer better.

You sound angry for someone who didn't bet the game and who's team just got a huge win.

Just an observation.

Tell me there are other reasons. I want someone to talk me out of it. Looking for reasons NOT to hammer the -7.

I've posted this several times, and nobody has any reasons (besides what I mentioned in a, b, and c) why USC doesnt demolish them. if its just a, b, and c, then USC kills them.

I hate betting on my team, so please, give me some reasons.

jsut an observation, so sounds like to me that u did bet usc.
