In terms of defensive efficiency against the run, OSU 5th, TAMU 15th so yeah, big difference.
Nothing changes in my mind, you go get 28-35 points on your 10-12 possessions, take away time so they get 8-10 possessions and the majority of those playing from behind and you'll win. It's simple, not easy.
Miami needs things to happen (turnovers, sack, penalties, short fields from ST, busted coverages) OSU just needs to execute.
I think the post 1st round win has made the Miami fan base go full retard. My Miami buddy hasn’t stopped talking since their game ended. He’s so confident that Miami will win and any and all logic has been thrown out of the window for him and their fanbase as a whole. Many are even saying that the ACC is the best conference now. I can just laugh, December 31st can’t come soon enoughTheir rush defense was worse than the numbers indicate.
They gave up over 200 yards rushing FOUR times over the season and almost did so again vs Miami. Texas AM is the definition of a team feasting on bad teams.
OSU gave up over 100 only 3 times for perspective with one of those 3 games being exactly 100 yards (which included two runs totally over 50 yards).
OSU was consistently the same defense every week giving up roughly 60-90 yards and I’d venture to guess it’ll be the same for this game too.
