Didn't we open with Buffalo one year and threw a pick six on the first throw? That Mack guy wasn't bad. Lol.

The dangerous thing about openers is that other team believes. They haven't lost a game and their coaches have them all fired up that they can win the game. You have to take that belief from them. The longer you let them believe, the more dangerous they become. Ohio State is going to win the game. It's only a matter of the margin. If 5 min in the Beavers are thinking, "They are too strong, too big, too fast, too good for us." then it could be that big rout some are talking about. If they are still in it deep into the 2nd qtr, we might not feel as good.

This is a great comment and is a good description of asymmetrical warfare, college football style. When you outclass a team by this much, it's important to take away their belief early. Any team within two scores going in to the 4th can pull an upset.

Take their soul early. You can always give it back at the end of the game.
