Sounds like someone has a gambling problem!:D

I feel entirely confident that I'm better at breaking down and predicting the outcome of the OSU vs. USC game than most sportswriters. Why? Because where these sportswriters have to watch a variety of games in a variety of conferences every Saturday, I've watched every one of the USC game for...

Rightly or wrongly, this is what the national and media perception of the game comes down to: 1) USC's record in BCS games 2) USC's win against Virginia 3) Buckeyes record in recent BCS games 4) Buckeyes win against OU 5) Beanie Wells injury That's pretty much it. It ignores a hell of a lot of...

Rather than that, do the good old end around to Hartline or Robiskie and get them to toss a TD bass to Boeckman. If you need an example, I've got a good one right here::D YouTube - Matt Leinart TD catch from Mike Williams

Also, as good as Pryor is, I'm guessing he can't yet truly read most of the defenses he sees and the USC game is not the time you want to throw a mobile quarterback into the fray against a team that uses an extensive blitz package. Sure he might make them pay for a few of those blitzes but he is...

I don't know Tressell inside out but I would expect to see Pryor come in on third and shorts only and maybe at the beginning of the game for a direct snap play to throw USC off guard. Regardless of how talented he is, he's a freshman with two games as a backup under his belt. Boeckman is a...

I wish we still had Fred Davis. That said, the TE is probably the most underrated position in sports. There is no better way to get bailed out of blown up plays or pick up third and medium than having a good tight end which is why I personally think USC needs to recruit them harder. I vividly...

Thanks! Not to turn this into a slurp fest but Buckeyeplanet is hands down the best opponents board I've been on, period. Best posters and best information by far. As to the comment about Wells and Mauluga, didn't you guys read about how fat Rey was at the Rose Bowl? There's no way Beanie could...

Hey, knock that off! No one wants to see Beanie on a stretcher!:mad2:

Pretty much. Hahaha! I love the Trojans but I'll never pretend the kicking game is what will win us games.

Good preview. The only place I would really bring up any objection is the "C" for special teams. USC's special teams aren't great but they aren't bad and the only time I can remember the special teams being responsible for losses or close calls was three years ago. The USC kickers just aren't...

Tress feels the same way and despite his obvious respect for Boeckman, if he felt OSU would have a better shot at winning with Pryor, he'd put him in. However, as Florida proved two years ago, no matter how talented your incoming Freshman QB is, and no matter how normal your senior QB might be...

Again, I have no problem with the prediction, just the utter tool behind it. Since when is this Pryor's team? Pryor might not even take any snaps in this game depending on how Boeckman plays, for crying out loud!

Who knows. If OSU looks at tape of USC and says "We need to break out the Oregon style spread to beat these dudes" more power to them. Will Tressell actually need or want to do this? Probably not. I know Fiutak has been watching CFB for along time, but that doesnt make him intelligent, which he...

These are done by the CFN Staff. Fiutak on his own has been rather consistently suspicious of USC over the past three years which, when you look at the Trojans record, he might actually have had reason to be (Stanford, anyone?) That said, my gripe with Fiutak was not his predicted score, as a...

This prediction seems completely fair and possible to me, but I will say that Pete Fiutak calls for USC to lose around half its games yearly. Every time I see Pete's name at the top of an article dealing with USC, I take it with a grain of salt. Also, he says that OSU will win the game if they...

I would argue that you don't need much offense when you're fielding an NFL caliber defense, which the Bucks were in 2002.

Cold! But sadly for Michigan, this seems to be the truth as well. That place is having some issues...

Four threads worth of great answers really drives home the point that most fans rightly believe that this game will be won in the trenches. Sure, Sanchez, Wells, or Boeckman might have big games but that will depend largely on the type of protection they get from their O Line and the type of...

Sanchez can't throw balls into traffic, period. There were a few times against UVA when he just slung it out there for no other apparent reason than the fact that he wanted to force the issue. I'm sure quarterbacks, when playing in games they are leading by a lot, are more prone to play fast and...
