Which of those three OSU hypotheses were you thinking had merit?

5: Washington:




Oh Son...you're not buying into all the Petersen hype are you?   The Puppies got nothing.   Auburn may have less...but still...

It seems you were right and I was way off base on this one Scotty. The one USC TD was waaay underthrown but with a linebacker matched up on Pittman...

Nice job by the Trojan defense in this one. A few broken assignments but for the most part a well played defensive effort.

Once again OSU playing soft defense in the first half. Silly Gopher mistakes keeping it close.
Not certain who the left edge rusher is for Alabama and ClemSIN but if tOSU does not do something about their right tackle before the playoffs they might as well dress them in scarlet and grey. I could speed rush that guy.


Are you talking about Thayer?

I was talking about Isaiah Prince, OSU RT who spent the entire second half trying to push Minnesota's left DE around Haskins because he could not block him.

Yeah, Walter Football says pretty much the same thing about him and edge rushers. Well they say he has yet to be tested. Looks like he failed a quiz.

Still the guy is in a different position from last year and some guys learn faster than others. I think he'll improve as the year wears on.

He's another DC/Baltimore guy who wound up at OSU.

it was...but the way Colorado was playing to stop the run it was basically man coverage on the receivers.  Daniels also had a few really good throws in full stride that were just missed.   I think this game will pay dividends down the line for the offense.

The defense played very well...but at a high cost.

He was unlikely to be fly healthy before bowl season, no sense creating negative tape.

Seven (7) Linebackers on Injury report currently.   WTF?

Bama had LB problems last year. But not as bad as the Trojans this year I think.

Well there can only be one response to that:

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/page/gamedaykickoff101918/ranking-one-loss-teams-college-football-playoff-potential



1. Michigan Wolverines (6-1)


 This week: at No. 24 Michigan State (noon ET, Fox)
Toughest remaining test: Nov. 24 at Ohio State

The scenario: Given how poorly Georgia played in its loss to LSU and the Bulldogs' difficult upcoming schedule, it seems -- at least for now -- more likely that the Wolverines will win their league, rather than Georgia winning its. Michigan might wind up having the best loss in the country -- the season opener to Notre Dame. It certainly wouldn't keep the Wolverines out of the selection committee's top four if Michigan were to win out. The Wolverines can't afford to overlook the Spartans this weekend, though, as Michigan State just knocked Penn State out of the conversation and has embraced its role as spoiler. Michigan, which racked up a season-high 320 rushing yards in the win over Wisconsin last weekend, will face the nation's top rushing defense. The Spartans are limiting opponents to just 62.3 rushing yards per game.

The odds: The Big Ten has an 11 percent chance to get multiple teams into the playoff, second best to the SEC. There's a 21 percent chance Michigan will be 10-1 and Ohio State will be 11-0 when the teams meet in Columbus on Nov. 24.
