With the way the defense is playing I don’t know how Texas keeps this closer than 2 scores. Without Gabriel today I think Oregon maybe gets shut out but he stole a number of plays with his ability to create.
Well, Quinn Ewers is not Dylan Gabriel and Texas is pretty banged up on the OL as well.
Could we really see a third straight red hot start by the buckeyes? I think so.

I’m here for it. Whatever works. Put Quinn Ewers in the crosshairs.

Texas has a much stronger defense than Oregon. They are a weird team. Talented group but they never put teams away. They had a few defenders go down today. Don't know the severity but hopefully they won't be 100%. They were on the field ALOT against ASU. As with the past two games.. establish the pass then kill em with the run.

I only watched Texas twice in 2024 including their playoff game:
-Ewers looks really erratic at times; I’d go as far to say as he has played himself out of being one of the top 3 QB prospects for the draft; certainly not the scrambling/running threat that Ewers is albeit he can make plays with his feet. Georgia is the closest thing he has seen to our secondary and he wasn’t exactly lighting them up.
-really good OL; their LT got baked up yesterday with an ankle and if I’m mot
Mistaken is a top draft prospect at their position. We have the DL depth to throw at it; not like Oregon was trotting on walk ons.
-elite speed at linebacker; this we’ll be a tired subject throughout the week but they really are sideline to sideline. But if that little doofus of a bowling ball running back can tack on 130+ Judkins/Henderson is a superior attack; it’ll be hard but they should be able to do enough to contribute to the offense
-their secondary is really good; ASU had one threat at WR and they were hurt. Now they get to go on a date with 3 first-round talents at WR. We will see.
-overall Texas didn’t exactly put on an offensive clinic against ASU in regulation; the sun dicks got a LOT of full penetration against that Tejas OL in sacking Ewers and stuffing the run; their offensive skill looks fine but no one looked terrifying to me.
They’re very talented in all areas. I respect them as an opponent but I think we can do this. You come out swinging as hard as you can and snatch that early lead; force Ewers into a high volume of throwing and you just might get 3-and-ours early. ASU laid out a nice print for Knowles imo.

I disagree. I think Oregon has a better defensive line but Texas has a better secondary (especially Makuba).
I know they have the freshman speed rush with Simmons but we’ve played better defensive lines than this one in Texas. With OSU you better pressure the QB because even good secondaries aren’t enough.
I think the best defense left for us to face is Notre Dame followed by UGA and then probably Texas tied with Penn State.

ASU had their WRs running open all game while they were focused on stopping Skattebo, which they couldn't do. I think they are over rated on both sides of the ball. If we win the trenches again it'll be another ass kicking. A Texas- sized ass kicking for posterity sake.

Yeah I’m right there. The thing with Texas is they disappear for long stretches of the game. They’ve done this in nearly all their big games all year.
Their RT went down in the game too. They’re a pretty beat up team to be honest. Then you switch to OSU with how they’re sending players to the bench with injury? This is a tough ask for Texas in my opinion.

Yeah I agree. Watching that game I was thinking that #1 they can’t stop the run even when focusing on it and #2 if ASU had a QB they’d be cooking.
