Ohio State vs. USC - What do you think?

nojive · 09-09-2009, 03:55 PM

This will probably be the biggest game of the weekend, outside of the SEC.

I think Ohio State will win this, for a few reasons:

They're returning a veteran team, and USC is fielding freshmen in numerous key positions (such as QB)
Ohio State had a strong showing for the first 15 minutes of the Navy game, before they got cocky, played their second string, and got dominated
Ohio State is playing at home, in a series they're dying to finally walk away with a win at.

The last one deals with intangibles, but I think it's important. Ohio State knows how important it would be to win this game, and they know that this is their best shot, right here. If they lose, then I suppose the Big 10 really is a joke, and who's really surprised? I won't thank them for conceding the BCS Championship to USC.

I think I'd really love to watch this game, but I'll be between the hedges!

I also think Terrelle Pryor runs wild...and Barkley makes enough rookie mistakes to hand the game to the Buckeyes.

This one should definitely be better than last year's game. It's in Columbus, USC is starting a rookie at QB, and tOSU looks to have the more experienced team... they'll also have revenge on their minds. I hope it's a good, competitive game.

I think OSU gets a heavy dose of USC's running backs. It wouldn't shock me if Barkley throws less than 20 times in this game.

Southern Cal wins, and I say by at least 14 points. McKnight is gonna run all over that suspect D of Ohio State's.

What goes unnoticed sometimes in LA is how dominating their defense is. I know they lost a lot from last year, but they have reloaded and I think they shut down tOSU offense like last year. It may be closer, but I think the lack of production by the Buckeyes will put too much pressure on their D and they tire in the 2nd half and USC pulls away late. 28-14.

Barkley won't have to do much of anything other than handing it off over, and over, and over again. OSU won't have a clue how to stop SoCal on the ground.

I hope it's a close, tightly contested game, but I think SoCal wins.

Can I hope for both teams to lose? Let's see, who do I hate more? Oh. USC. and its not even close. Go tOSU. I will likely never type that again.
