CFP Playoff Cotton Bowl BMW Thread, tOSU vs Texas

So we’re less than 24 hours out and I definitely have my share of concerns fitting for this thread.

I don’t love that we’re playing in their backyard. The Pasadena crowd was impressive but that’s old hat for OSU alum - and people enjoy a trip to LA for the New Year. Now the fans have to plan a 2nd big trip while UT goes down the road. And this is a big moment for their program too. They’ll bring it and it will be a tough environment.

I worry about matching the level they’ve shown the last 2 weeks. It wasn’t “perfect” but it’s sure as hell hard to play that way 3 weeks in a row.

Each game is bigger than the one before so there’s still fear things get tight. There’s no 3 weeks of being talked down to, no revenge factor. The Bucks have now had the media in their ear singing praises. It’s a different role.

I still worry about Howard getting happy feet and panicking.

Oh and then add potential ref incompetence and a Buckeye history of falling just short even in our best moments/teams.

I’m shocked Texas is getting a touchdown head start on the spread with their talent and Sark’s offensive ability. It’ll be close and hope the Bucks finish on the good side.


(Alright had to get that all out)
