A bit surprised with all that's gone on. I expect a ~25-30 point win, but this isn't BGSU or the horrific Kent St. team from '14. That being said I know little about Oregon St.

orsu went 1-11 last season in a very poor pac 12. their sole win was a 3-point victory over an fcs team (portland state) that went 0-11. sure, this year is not last year, but that beaver team was historically bad. just based on score alone, i'll be mildly disappointed if we don't cover. if we don't cover, i expect that it will be because we've turned over the ball way too much.

something to consider is that orsu will effectively be playing a 9 a.m. game requiring a very early wakeup time. i think we'll be up big right off the bat.

I'm looking for Ohio State to get lots of people into the game. You can play some freshmen this year and maintain their eligibility. Oh, and...Momma's home cookin'

S&P+ rankings has them 110th preseason, with the only game they have a higher than 50% chance of winning being against Southern Utah. Needless to say things are ugly in Corvalis

Last year was rock bottom--things are looking up in Corvallis:boogie:. Results probably won't be any better but they do have a freshman back being compared to Jacquizz Rodgers. Don't expect this week to be his coming out party lol. The Beavs are awful and they'll play a lot of freshmen. It shouldn't be close at all.

Corvalis? What in the fuck. Sounds like something I need to go purchase from Walgreens becaue my eyes keep watering.

Or a mild sexually transmitted disease wherein the symptoms are silent.

Side effects include being in an irrelevant program, getting Ohio state’s dick broken off in your ass.

Do not call anyone if these symptoms worsen; they won’t give a fuck.

I'm not worried about the Beavers - unless they are in my creek and at work.

I've seen too many openers where I had elite football fairies dancing in my head, only to realize that Ohio State had a long way to go. The NCAA has cut practice time, so it is really hard to get a team fully ready. Plus you have all of the first-game jitters, communication foul ups, and clusters of dysfunction that have to be worked out.

Last year I really thought the Bucks would go to Indiana and look fantastic. They were horrible in the first half. So, just to keep the potential disappointment down, I expect a solid win, with flashes of elite, but signs that they have a long way to go. I want them near their peak in 5 weeks and in Nov, Dec, and Jan.

This is a veteran group, and if this whole Urban saga has pissed them off, and they are laser-focused, it could be a very ugly day for the Beavers.

I agree. Otherwise they'd win by 80.

My heart says bucks 70-10 but my mind says like 42-10. I wouldn't be too shocked with a slow start (although I'd still be shocked). Perhaps we come out a little too pumped up or the new systems at oregon state arent what we expected?

Still lots of lube will be needed but I can see how it may not be as bad as we think.
