Wow. Pez and I ageee. I’ve heard all the talking heads about tOSU WRs, but while great as a group, the OL and QB aren’t close to what we saw last year vs UW.

Their offensive line has been a mirror of ours. Rough start but talent is rounding into form.buckmarkduck wrote: Mon Oct 07, 2024 7:31 pmWow. Pez and I ageee.

Ohio State fans seem to think their DBs are gonna lock up our WRs, causing Gabriel to have a rough day.buckmarkduck wrote: Mon Oct 07, 2024 7:31 pmWow. Pez and I ageee.

Gotta establish the run game with O line dominance early if possible. Defense has to play like they did last Friday. It's going to take our best game of the year to win this game.

In the 2010 top 10 matchup at Autzen with Stanford CK, knowing that Harbaugh would key on LMJ, ran Darron Thomas for big gains on the first two plays of the game. Will CK try to break some runs early with Will Howard?

The thing I like about this game is that all of the players and coaches are going to be ready for it. Hopefully the fans will revel in being in a difference maker for the team and give a complete 4Q showing and don't get tepid if we trail at any point.
The other thing is that we have their respect because they already saw us come into their place and control the game from start to finish; it wasn't a fluke loss they suffered against us and we need to be ready for a Championship level bout.

Re: #2 Ohio State @ #3 Oregon (Oct. 12, Sat 4:30 PM NBC)
I decided to check out the Ohio State forums for laughs and giggles, they sure are a confident bunch in Columbus….Saw some funny score predictions including 38-10, 50-10, and 42-0. Their reasoning wasn’t much better, saying how Iowa has a much better defense than Oregon and Iowa is much better than Oregon in the trenches so if Ohio State can handle Iowa Oregon will be no problem. Also saw someone call Oregon’s defense undersized, they clearly haven’t seen Oregon’s DLine. Granted there were some reasonable fans that predicted close wins for Ohio State and even saw a couple that talked in detail about Oregon showing they understand who Oregon is, but most of them seem clueless about Oregon football. Must be typical for a powerhouse program and how many fair weather bandwagon fans they get.

Eleven Warriors is a pretty damn good site overall. You definitely have your share of actual coaches who know scheme details.

There definitely were some really knowledgeable and good posters, and I have no issues with Buckeye fans calling for a win even by two, maybe three scores. But saying Iowa is better in the trenches and has a better defense and predicting a blowout, or even shutout, just seems crazy to me. But like I said; because they’re a big time program, they probably have a bunch of naive fair weather fans that have 0 clue about who Oregon is and are just running on false PAC-12 narratives.Duck07 wrote: Tue Oct 08, 2024 1:59 pm Eleven Warriors is a pretty damn good site overall.

Buckeye here coming in peace! With a fanbase as large as OSU's we have an overabundance of bandwagon fans and couch coaches who don't really understand the game of football. I'm really looking forward to the game Saturday, and like most of the fairly knowledgeable fans expect a hard fought close game. I can see it going either way. I'm disappointed because a trip to Autzen has always been on my bucket list and I had originally planned on coming out for the game, but unfortunately life got in the way and I can't make it. Maybe next time we visit you. Welcome to the B1G, it's great to have you guys. You were one of the schools I really hoped would be added. Here's to an injury free great game on Saturday!OregonFan4Life wrote: Tue Oct 08, 2024 2:19 pmThere definitely were some really knowledgeable and good posters, and I have no issues with Buckeye fans calling for a win even by two, maybe three scores.
