Haven't seen Woody this excited since Zeke ran 85 yards to finish off Alabama. He and Bear had one helluva fight that night. Now it looks like John McKay's turn.

USC's rushing defense:
YPG: #56 (158.3)
YPC: #66 (4.36)
TDs: #50 (18)

The top two rushing defense we faced this season, and we we put up on them:

Mich St:
YPG: #5 (101.3) 335
YPC: #13 (3.38) 8.0
TDs: #19 (12) 4

Wisconsin:
YPG: #2 (92.6) 238
YPC: #5 (2.96) 5.7
TDs: #1 (5) 1​

Splitting the difference between our outputs against Sparty and Wiscy gets us 287 yards rushing with 3 TDs (rounding up) and a 6.8 YPC average. If we rush the ball 40+ times with a near 7 YPC average and at least 3 rushing TDs, I really like our chances.

Jesus that MSU game was unbelievable wasnt it? And look how bad Sparty crushed WSU last night - who beat USC by the way.

Just listened to this wise guy handicapper on the radio and he was saying that Darnold holds onto the ball too long, and will not have a good game.
I had two thoughts:
(1) Great.
(2) the Browns will draft him for sure.

Wasn't that the 1987 Cotton Bowl? After the 1986 season?
The 1987 Buckeyes went 6-4-1.
