Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

Less than 24 hours until the game, and I am more and more confident. It just feels like a Buckeye win. Reminds me of the feeling I had before we played Notre Dame in 2005. After the game, the media will be talking about how much 'faster' Ohio State looked than Texas. Pryor will shine. Beanie will shine. Tressel is God.

I can't say I'm psyched to see the OL, unless they come out and knock the shit out of somebody. I can't wait to see what our offensive skill players can do, but it all starts at the line. I hope things go well, the line changes have me concerned.

But I do like the match-up with our defense, I can't wait to see the Silver Bullets flying around to the ball. They have played solid D all season and seem to be catching more interception chances than last year. JL and MJ need to go out with a great game.

As much as I would love to hear that, you are all apples and oranges n stuff. ND 2005 (and every other year for that matter) is slow. I don't see any way in hell that tOSU out athletes Texas. To win, the Bucks are just going to have to play harder, and execute better than Texas.

Yeah they were slow on offense too...had a crappy QB too. Texas' defense isn't going to be faster than our offense. Speed isn't all the game is about, but I our back 7 and skill positions on offense are not going to get out ran. Now their lines may be faster than ours, but if we knock them off the ball, don't miss assignments, and both lines just play great fundemental football, they are strong enough and good enough to negate that factor. When a team executes better than the other team, they are going to look a lot faster. When we execute better than Texas, our speed will be able to run free. Everybody is fast, but you can't use your speed if everybody doesn't execute.

Ohio State 33
Texas 20

I have a bad feeling.......that probably means we win though.

I think Texas takes advantage of a soft cushion on the outside, and chips away at the field 7 to 15 yards at a time.

I have feeling they load up on Beanie, and he'll still have a solid game, but ultimately our lack of a passing game hurts us.
