So I am clear. It is your contention that Boise State's defense is as good as ours? You reach that conclusion by looking at stats? You then go on to say your offense is more well rounded than UT of last year?

Final question from me; have you watched Ohio State this year, other than highlights?

You lost to USC. They are in 5th place in the PAC 10. Oregon put up 613 yards and 47 points on USC. Oregon held USC to 20 and OSU 18. I think Ohio St.'s offense has gotten better since the USC game, but I still think Ohio st. is not as good as USC the 5th best team in the pac 10.

You love the transitive bullshit don't you? Know what that means? You know jack shit about football.

Any team going to a BCS bowl is going to finish higher than fifth in any conference. Are you really fucking serious right now? Ban this guy. He's a troll, or just an idiot. No grasp of football at all - just one of those guys who whores his school but has no idea how football works.

I havent said anything bad about tOSU or players. Which is what they told me not to do.

Trolling is never tolerated, and trolls may wish to consider that one's online history is rarely as private as one might assume.

Now this is pure bull[censored].

2008 Texas - #9 total offense (476.42 yards per game), #11 pass offense (299.50 yards per game), #34 rushing offense (176.92 yards per game)

2009 Oregon - #25 total offense (425.67 yards per game), #91 pass offense (188.58 yards per game), #6 rushing offense (236.08 yards per game)

Will a great passing offense always outrank a great running team?

Lets look at this:

#1 Nevada: 362.25
#1 Houston: 450

I think it was Numbers who asked you, and I might as well ask again because I was interested in the answer...

How many tOSU games have you watched this year?

Every single argument of yours has been "I think Pac10 is better" (no real justification), so Oregon has played stronger opponents and is therefore better. "OSU can't stop our offense because they haven't played one like us", yet somehow I doubt you've watched our defense absolutely stifle some pretty solid offenses.

Bottom line:

This is assuming that there are not major turnovers that lead to easy scores. If that happens a copule times all bets are off.

If tOSU is effective running the ball tOSU wins. By that I mean tOSU gets over 200 yds rushing and runs the ball 40+ times.

If Oregon can shut down tOSU running game Oregon wins. By that I mean, Oregon keeps tOSU under 125 yds rushing and Pryor is forced to win the game with his arm.

IMHO, that pretty much sums up the game in a nutshell.

:osu:

your point?

Relax guys he's not trolling. But the way we are having this discussion we are NEVER going to get anywhere. We are spending more time about past years and past opponents as opposed to matchups and the actual game coming up.

Like I said I can leave. Im not trolling just debating the game. Have a crossed a line?

Comparing Nevada and Houston to a traditional powerhouse?

Traditional powerhouses are traditional powerhouses for a reason.

And don't leave, you aren't trolling. Just disagreeing. The other dude can get the fuck out, he's beyond ignorant.

 

[Buckeneye]

Texas did not have a running game. We have a great running game. Texas had a great passing game. We have a average passing game.

Actually you have a below average passing game...

 

[scarletmike]

I'll go ahead and throw my score prediction out there. tOSU 34 - Oregon 27

The score breakdown is this...tOSU: Four touchdowns; three coming on drives, one passing, two rushing, and one Ray Small KO/Punt return..OR a pick-6. Add in 2 field goals. Oregon: Three touchdowns; one rushing, two passing, and two field goals. I'll also say tOSU will force three turnovers; two interceptions and one fumble recovery. Oregon will manage to get one interception off TP.

I think early on in the game Tressel will open things up a little more and move the ball downfield a little faster than normal. Once the third quarter hits though, its back to the running game with a pass or two each drive. TP, Boom and Saine will combine for at least 250 yards, with a few for Saine (I'll say about 30), coming on or after passes. TP gets one of the two rushing touchdowns.

EDIT: Can't believe I left TP out of the rushing stats. D-oh!

lol so true. Im just glad we are back in the game after USC's dominance to be honest. We should have gone in 2001 but BCS screwed us.

Texas did not have a running game. We have a great running game. Texas had a great passing game. We have a average passing game.

So Texas was 41 out of 119 teams rushing and they did not have a running game, yet Oregon is 91 out 120 teams passing and is average. Perhaps you should take of your green and yellow glasses.
