Hello all,
I'm a new poster, but I have been following this website and thread in particular awhile. I am a Longhorn fan, and I have been looking forward to this game a long time. The Bucks just happen to be one of the schools that I have followed for some time. At least since the Cooper years of the 90's. You guys program seems very similar to ours; winning tradition, great recruiting base, rabid fanbase with largely unreal expectations. It's really great that two major universities such as UT and OSU would play a two game series, fully aware of the implications of one loss in college football. Your recent history (Cooper Years), is very indicative of our years under Brown. And although Buck(And Natl media, and some Texas) fans are quick to blast Brown for his record in big games, many Texas fans, including myself view him as a savior or sorts of our program. Before Brown, our program had fallen far behind the perennial powerhouse programs. We also lost many recruiting battles to Texas A&M, and other Out of State schools. The Rose Bowl was an awesome springboard for the game with OSU. The Rose Bowl was a perfect stage for UT to finally prove we were back as a program of significance. A win over OSU and OU this year would catapult us to the top of the national landscape. Unlike many UT fans on several boards, I am quietly confident that we can win both these games. I am not afraid to admit that OSU in the shoe is downright scary. And if you had asked me early last year who would prevail I would not have been able to say UT. But after the roller coaster ride second half of last yr, I believe UT will win. I look forward to conversing with the many Buck fans here and discussing the ins and outs of the game. Sept. 10th can't get here soon enough. Good Luck to the Buckeyes in every other game this year.

CFN Big Game Breakdown : Texas at Ohio State
2005 Big Game Breakdowns
Texas at Ohio State, Sept. 10
When was the last time there was this much preseason hype for a non-bowl, non-conference game that didn't involve a school from Florida? Ever since the game was announced, Buckeye and Longhorn fans have been jacked up for the showdown looking for a chance to make some major national noise. Vince Young's performance against Michigan in the Rose Bowl, and the way Ohio State finished last year, has made even the most casual college football fans excited. It'll be the primetime ABC showcase game with the winner making a strong bid for the number two spot in the polls behind USC. [font=verdana, arial,

He has been around long enough to be the leader and a better passer looking to build on the strong end to 2004. The backup situation is iffy with Matt Nordgren going from career emergency quarterback to the number two job. Considering how much Young will run, Nordgren will have to stay sharp. The soap opera with top recruit Ryan Perrilloux, who originally committed to Texas before leaving for LSU, left the bag empty without any talented young quarterbacks waiting in the wings, but help is on the way with a great looking 2006 recruiting class. The rating would be higher if the backups were better.

Can Ahmard Hall and Marcus Myers come close to replacing Will Matthews at fullback? The offense needs production out of this relatively untested crew or Vince Young will be kept under wraps all year long.

Limas Sweed is going to be a star deep threat at the X with size, speed, and tremendous athleticism. Nate Jones is a good looking young player and Myron Hardy should turn into a good producer. Jordan Shipley has to prove he's back from a knee injury and Brian Carter has to finally breakout.
Receiver rating: 7</TD><TD vAlign=top width="50%" bgColor=#990000>The Buckeyes have a big, fast, huge hitting secondary full of safeties. The problem for new defensive backs coach Paul Haynes is to find a second corner to go on the other side of Ashton Youboty. Donte Whitner was was tried out with little success, so the hope is for Tyler Everett to take over the role rather than stay at strong safety. Of course, all the problems can be solved if Ted Ginn Jr. moves over to defensive back, but that's not likely to happen.

Despite all the talent on offense, Tressel-ball needs a quarterback who doesn't turn the ball over and can keep the chains moving. Troy Smith is an efficient thrower and a good runner, but he's not a pure passer and has to prove he can be counted on after his off-the-field issues. On the other hand, Justin Zwick is too conservative needing to have "don't think, just throw" tattooed on his wrist. Zwick is the opening day starter and has to show why Smith shouldn't take over the reins in game two, but he has to find his accuracy and play up to his talent level. There's talk of quarterbacks coach Joe Daniels using a two quarterback system.

Hello BB73,
I only hope the game lives up to many of our expectations. As a Texas fan I have several areas that concern me, as I am sure Buck fans do as well. My chief concerns are :
1. Linebacker- Will we be able to field two outside linebackers that are ready to make plays vs. the run and pass?
2. Defensive End- As evidenced against Michigan, we struggled at times to pressure the QB from the outside. It would help if we could get more pressure from this position.
3. Pass Defense - How will the match-up vs. your receiver's turn out? Alot depends on how aggressive the OSU play calling is and how well we put pressure on the QB.
4. Special Teams - I'm most concerned with the big play ability of Ginn in this regard. Our kickoff coverage has got to be better. Too many long returns last year and not only vs. Michigan. Not to mention questions as to how our new kicker will perform.
5. Receivers - As noted several times already, our receivers have much to prove. Unlike many posters who point to Shipley, I would like to think Sweed will be the difference maker this year. This will be the kids 3rd year in the program and he has all the tools to create match-up problems. He has to make plays against OSU.
6. Running Back - Quite simply, if we can run the ball we will win the game. That's what makes this game so interesting. Our strength on O vs your strength on D. Our rb's are unproven, but talented, while your lb's are first rate.

I real good write up that pretty much hits the nail on the head if you ask me.
No doubt our linebackers and secondary are going to be key in this game and we have one of the best defensive backfields in the nation.
I predict a rough day for Vince and company.

"Thomas should be a stud as usual, and if you are running a spread offense you will have very limited PT for other TE's."
Actually we will mostly play two TEs or three wides, although as far as your defense goes if David Thomas splits out, it is a 3 wide set.
I mentioned Finley because he had an amazing all star game last night, 5 catches for 100 yards and 1 TD with constant double teams. He is a true 6-5 220 and has a great vertical (top 50 national BB recruit). As the recent Rivals article say he is a man among boys. It is impossible for a 6 footer to cover him if he gets a jump ball. While we recruited him as a TE I think he plays WR as a freshman until he grows into the TE position. I have never been this impressed by any UT player without seeing him in practice. Well one other time, and that was Vincent Young.
I have no idea how much he will play in the beginning of the season, but I suggest you watch him when he gets in the game.

Excellent write up. Texas is very good at QB and on the lines. OSU is very good at the skilled positions and LB.
