We're less than 2 weeks away from the matinee in Columbus with Ohio State.

I wanted to ask the OTF community, who has the edge (position group vs. position group) going into this game? Let's hear your final score predictions as well as some bold predictions!

Hook'em!

The things separate these teams, IMO:

1.  Manning > Sayin

2. Texas D > Ohio St D

3. Long term coaching continuity v. two new DCs

On the Ohio State side of the ledger, they have home field and the best collection of receiving talent in the nation.  The counter to those realities is Texas has been excellent on the road under Sark (see Bama and Michigan the past two seasons) and Texas has arguably the best collection of pass rushers in the nation going up against a re-worked OL, which will make utilizing those weapons difficult.

Texas is a low scoring affair.  23-16

 

As there has been too much orange kool-aid I’m taking one for the team to negate the optimism.  Bucknuts 100, Horns 0

Ohio St has the edge  at

WR /TE (vs our DBs)

DB (vs our WRs)

LB (vs our RBs) Maybe a push now with Baxter possibly back

DL (vs our OL)

we have the edge at

DL (vs their OL)

LB (vs their RBs)

QB (I just went QB v Qb here)

This is a toss-up at their place.  I hope we are as ready as we seem to be. Won't make or break either team's season though but would love the momentum gained by winning this game.

Sayin aint gonna gonna be quick enough

Colin , Burke, Trey , Ant , Spencer will have the las Say….

osu running game not goin no where …. Just Sayin

Arch is a Generational Qb…..

we are up by 17 by half

There next Qb in mid 3rd will result in sack … sack … int….

Texas 42 - 12 osu they only score by field goals! 
 

Pk will smell bloood , he will unleash total $&@@&? ..    there season is over!!!!
 

osu will be toast for the season… no qb … no leader…. 
 

Sarks goin for it all ….complete humiliation!

Evenly matched teams with near identical rosters and situations.

We have a freak DE; they have a freak WR

Our OL replacing 4; theirs replacing 4

Saiyan is a new qb, however we have struggled with new QB's in the past. (Also, new does not mean terrible) If he is elusive like ASU's QB that can hurt us with their WR's. 

Good game. 

21-17 Or 17-9 

Good guys 🤘

Love this optimistic take 

I just don't see it.  I think Texas wins this one easy.  42-10 Texas.

If we go into The Shoe healthy, I think we win in a similar looking game to Texas vs Vandy last year.

Going back and forth between a 2 score and 1 score game in the second half as we grind it out on the ground.
