Game Thread 2010 Rose Bowl: Ohio State 26 Oregon 17 (Final, 1/01/2010)

Only 3 days away boys!!!!!

Okay, here's how I think it unfolds:

First half:
First half will be all Ohio State, I see a lot of 3-and-out's for Oregon as the coaches try to find any cracks or holes in your defense. I think our offense will be frustrated, and will look very "boisestate-eque". I think our defense will do an adequate job, and for the most part hold up their end of the bargain (make a stop of two, force a couple field goals etc). I think it's 16-3 Buckeyes at the half time.

2nd Half:
Chip Kelly makes great adjustment, and I don't see our players rolling over and giving up, it's just not in their make-up. They'll get the ball moving, and start scoring some points. The second half for Ohio State will be much like the first, a touchdown, maybe a couple field goals. The buckeyes will be pushing around 30 points on our defense. The question is, to what extent can my Ducks come roaring back? As good as your defense is, our offense wears down ANYONE. Will Ohio State hold up long enough, and will the Ducks have enough time to put up points and go for the win. The 4th quarter is when our offense is the most dangerous. I don't make score predictions, it seems silly, but that's how I see the game unfolding.


OHIO STATE...

Ohio State loses if: They try and get too cute, Pac-10 is known for offense and we see everything out here. Tressel better not think he's gonna 'out-athlete' us with double reverses or something dumb like that. I know our defense is small, but we're FAST.

Ohio State wins if: They pound the ball, pound it some more, then play-action bootleg Pryor. If you guys do that all game, I really don't think we'll be able to stop the Buckeyes.

So I've done stubhub for 5 or 6 tOSU games now... the prices tend to be market, and they are reliable... Usually, I prefer to have a seat assignment, but this time, I bought my Rose Bowl tickets pretty early (BEFORE the Iowa game...) so I did the thing where you buy tickets with no specific seats and a range of rows... went for 1-40 in one of the corners just knowing I would get something on the high end of the range...

My tickets were waiting for me at the door of my apartment (its an indoor door) when I arrived back from Ohio yesterday...

ROW 12!!!! :pirate1::highfive::pirate1::cool::cool::biggrin:: :oh::io::yow1::pimp::cool::cool:

See you guys there!!!
:oh:
