I'm starting to have anxiety about the game already and we are still 2 days away. Unless Hyde and the running game just completely run over their defense, I just can't see us slowing down their passing attack and keeping them out of the end zone. From what I have seen from this defense and scheme; poor tackling, poor safety coverage, poor LB pass drops, predictability of where blitzes are coming from, corners panic w/ their hands when out on an island, ect.... I have absolutely no confidence in them unless we drop Boyd 5-6 times (which is now unlikely w/o Spence). Their WR's have to be licking their chops.

And after going through this BCS era and watching it happen time and time again, you just never know what the mindset of these kids is going to be come game time. You have to question who is the more excited team to be there. Is OSU still sulking over their disappointing loss and missing out on a title shot or are they truly excited to be in Miami to prove they are top 5 worthy? 1st 10 mins will tell the story. If they come out in the 1st quarter and dominate like they did most of the season it bodes well. If they come out flat like in the CCG they are screwed.

My son and I, and my friend from Chicago, are in a car about 3 hours north of Miami. We're driving 3,000 miles to support the Buckeyes and I just wanted to say that all this negativity is not productive.

Always loved those road trips to the Florida bowls (I always did mine from Ohio). By the time we'd reach Florida, the car looked like it went through a war.

Not sure if it's already been posted, but someone did this on Clemson's campus.
