I'm not as confident as you are. Ohio State wins 28-10. Basically, one touchdown per quarter for Ohio State, and they give up a second-quarter touchdown to YSU, after some type of bad play (turnover deep in OSU territory, long punt return, etc). Add a field goal in there somewhere for YSU, as well.

Youngstown connections or not, there's no way Tressel will allow us to leave a I-AA team within 20 points. I've been looking for the thread in which a lot of us made some score predictions for this game (you'd figure it would've been this thread) and some were predicting a relatively low score such as Zurp's, and others predicting a total blowout (54-7, 48-0, etc.). JT will realease the hounds from the beginning and then call them back home once we're up 30+ to nothing. He'll keep our score around the low 40s. He'll want to make sure that Ohio State takes care of business against a I-AA team, yet not embarrass his former team (and give the backups and bench players plenty of game experience). I'm saying it'll be around 41-7 or 44-10, with the second half being played by our 2nd- and 3rd-stringers. No way in hell does YSU play us to 28-10.

I think it was one of the bonus questions in the "Two-deep prediction thread" Mili.

For some reason, I see Ohio State having trouble putting points on the scoreboard in this one.

I'll be rooting for the blow-out, though, of couse.

I think with our speedy receivers, and with Beanie and Maurice, we will be more than fine against a I-AA team. Lets not forget these quarterbacks are at Ohio State for a reason. This does not necessarily mean we put up 60 on them, but I think this is a great game to get our O some confidence.

Like I said, I hope you're right.

I find it a little bit funny that you're giving so much time to my opinion. Haven't I made it fairly clear that I'm just talking out of my ass?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 1996 we replaced OT Orlando Pace, QB Bob Hoying, RB Eddie George, WR Terry Glenn, TE Rickey Dudley... close to that anyways, and more. We proceeded to score a combined 142 points in our first 2 tries. I'm not too worried about it. Plus the defense will give up 140 points or less, so we should be just fine.
