The biggest fallacy of this game though is Texas is loaded.

Funny enough we are a perfect equivalent to Texas.


A fascinating matchup. We both are missing a bunch. Now it’s just a matter of who replaced better.

And I think that answer is Ohio State.

Add in being at home? Even better.

Wild man… seems like yesterday he was the kid everyone was wondering if he could replace Hyde.

Hopefully Zeke saved his money and was wise. I hope everything from here out for Zeke is about how great his life is.

Now they care about competition integrity?

So, the Reds call up a catcher known for his defense/arm....
The slowest runner on the team is on 3rd base in the 10th.
Tito is hesitant to pinch-run, because it would put the defensive minded catcher in a 'tough' spot in the 11th with a free runner and handling Ashcraft? Oh. OK.

This whole thread needs to renamed the Dale Gribble Asinine Conspiracy Thread.

And we all know at least one Dale Gribble.

Their schedule this year:

They play their first non-conference road game in 7 years when they go to Oklahoma just before Moore’s suspension starts.

They play only 1 team that won more than 7 games last year. If you don’t realize who that is, you‘re on the wrong board.

Fuck these cheating pricks.

As long as we’re hanging loss number 3 or more on their sorry asses in November …..

Fuck em!

They walk with the cheating scum they can burn right along with them.

Damnit that hit me dead in the feels

Yep things continue to only go favorably for them. Their roster and coaches are pretty average at best but with this schedule they will probably stumble into 9 wins. Just can't trust teams like USC and Corn not to go full stupid and play into scUMs "strengths" allowing them to win.

Bums

Pick 6 in 1st half
Basically only played LB all game
But they gave him one carry late.. and he scored

For all the talk about Arch this game likely comes down to basic things. We have the advantage being at home so we just need to not hurt ourselves. No turnovers, make your tackles, don’t try to do too much, and absolutely no costly penalties.

In the sugar bowl we had at least 3 promising drives crushed by penalties. We can’t do that. It nearly cost us that game (and consequently the title) and obviously this game is no different.

Other than that it’s about the LOS. This OL returning 4 starters from the playoffs did pretty well vs this Texas defensive line. While Texas has 2 edge guys that are good they did lose their interior so we should be just fine considering the matchups are pretty similar to last years game.

Where this game is likely won or lost is our defensive line. They lost all their offensive line starters (returning only 1) but then again we lost all 4 starters. This is the most interesting matchup of this game. Of course I trust our starters more than I do theirs but who knows. Can our guys control their gaps, can they be disruptive, and can we get after the QB?

Because if our DL answers the bell I think this back 7 for OSU on defense is better than last year. Maybe we won’t be game 1 but by mid season no doubt. Texas isn’t as good as last year at their skill and I don’t care what their experts think (painful listening to them). So if our DL can get after Arch and their lesser skill is trying to get free of our (likely) better secondary I will like our chances.

But no pressure from the front likely means blitzing more which might lead to a mistake for a young team. Interested to see how things go. What I will say as a last thing is all reports have been that this Texas OL has had trouble all off season giving Arch any time to throw. I think they’re the weakest unit in this game for either side. Hopefully we can take care of business.

Yes, but I expect the class to close with local in state or diamonds in the rough. So there probably won’t be any commits for a while due to further evaluation
