Hopeful prediction:
13-0
National Champs

Realistic prediction:
Well it depends how many of our juniors go this year. If we can keep at least 2, we still have leadership. Our quarterback play needs to improve in the off season and with Boeckman having a year starting, that should happen. Our receivers need some work, they run great routes but they couldn't get open in the NCG, we need to run shorter routes as well and use our tight end a little more. We will have a killer backfield, but our o-line could be shaky with young tackles. Honestly I think we can beat USC and need to to go back to the NC, I can also see that as a loss. Illinois may be tough again and Wisco will be crucial. However, I think we break in RichRod quite nicley and pummel TSUN especially if they lose Manningham, Arrington, and Mallet, although Mallet didn't show me much when he played. If Terrelle Pryor chooses scUM, he will be sorry he made that choice the next three of four years. All that being said, I am amped for next year and we have recruting class shaping up to be incredible so, what the hell

13-0
National Champions.

It's hard not to like this team coming back after dominating the big 10 last year, and bringing most of the team back. There are a few question marks on who's choosing money, however, there are always hopes that Mike Doss's decision is followed in suit.

The O-line will lose a leader and spokesman, but not much in terms of power and size. Hopefully some of the Juniors take the lead and give Beanie a chance at the trophy. I see Beanie pushing 2000 yards if we can generate the lanes for him to get some steam behind him. I could watch that stiff-arm from the ncg for quite a while, and think what drive he will carry next year. The man's a beast and turning into a serious leader on the field next to a somewhat timid QB.

I hope we run the tables including that yuppie fest USC. Reminds me of our bouts with Texas, where the winner was a shoe-in for 1 or 2 until they lost. If we return most of our Defense, it will probably mean a very hungry OSU team as well.

W 9-6 OHIO - 51-10 (Getting up for the next one)
W 9-13 at Southern California - 34-20 (Can't stop our running game)
W 9-20 TROY - 48-21 (I think Troy plays tough for a half)
W 9-27 MINNESOTA - 35-3
W 10-4 at Wisconsin - 24-20 [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](Who's gonna sling the rock?)[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

W 10-18 at Michigan State - 30-21 (Michigan State may be a sleeper next year)
W 10-25 PENN STATE - [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]28-6 [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](I'm really starting to dislike their fans)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]W 11-8 at Northwestern - 48-17
WWWWW - 11-22 MICHIGAN - 38-13 (RR's 1st biannual ass kicking in the shoe)

We go into the BCS ncg, and people still question our ability to win the crystal. Next year the Monkey's off the back, we run the table and beat Georgia for THE vindication game.

YSU- W 37-3 ( we go up 31-0 at the half)
Ohio- W 38-7 ( Late touchdown screws up shutout)
USC- W 34-31 I think USC will lose more players to the NFL than we will so we win. If USC gets some of their Juniors back I'd say flip that score around with USC winning it.
Troy-W 28-13 I think we'll come out and be flat because of the big game the week before.
Minnesota-W 42-13 I think we go up big. Something like 35-0 in the beginning of the 3rd but then back off and play our 2nd teamers
Wisconsin- W 35-17 I think this game is going to go much like th Iowa game from a couple years back. First off who's UW's QB?? I think a one demensional UW team will suffer
Purdue- W 38-14 Too much for Purdue
MSU- W 45-21 I think MSU will hand in their till half time (28-14) but then we pull away.
PSU-W 24-9 I like Clark as the QB (he's enormous) but I don't like their running game or their defense. They lost some talent this year\
NW- W 35-10 Owned
Illinois W 38-7 We're going to fuck their cookies up. They lost Mendanhall and some defensive people.
Michigan- W 35-6 I know I know but seriously who do they have?? They lost All their recievers, their best RB, their best OL'ers, and they lost some kids on defense including Crable. I have never looked at Michigan as an easy win but you got to admitt it don't look good for the guys up north considering what we return.

NCG-Missouri W 38-31 I think they'll jump out first with their effective offense, but then we'll answer back and go up big. Only to see Missouri make a late couple scores.


If Ohio State can get 2 of Boone, Jenkins, Gholston, Animal, or Freeman to stay I can see this happening. If I had my pick I'd say all of them but I beleive Boone, as well as Gholston are the ones that would most benefit us. We have linebackers to fill in, and we have DB's out the ass. However if we can get Boone to come back and have 4 returning players on the Oline leading the way for wells it'll be one dominant offense. Also DE is a big concern for me, but only because all the kids who transfered or moved positions. I think the schedule sets up very very nicely, and the big date with USC will make or break our season. If we lose that game consider our Title hopes OVER and I won't fight it if we were to lose either. In order to make a valid point to get into a NCG we've got to win the USC game because the rest of our schedule to be honest is weak. MSU, Wisconsin, and Illinois could give us trouble but each of those teams are missing/losing key players at key positions. Not to mention PSU losing kids on defense, and UM missing everyone. The Big Ten will be down once again this year, and as long as we beat USC I think we have a great shot at getting into another NCG.

Looking ahead to USC though. They have great running backs, and just WR's to burn. The question they have is can sanchez get them the ball?? The reason I said USC scares me is because our secondary hasn't played well against teams with great WR corps. I don't think we have to play flawless, but we've got to play better than the LSU game or we will lose.

can we settle on ape owned? or is that just a little strange? haha Well I mean it is NW so I guess we can say anything we want to them considering we all know the end results I suppose... I just look at the schedule and again I don't see a loss anywhere possible besides USC.

Also Michigans D-lineman Taylor is probably going to leave. Man they're going to struggle next year.

OSU shouldn't lose any regular season games next season regardless of who bolts for the draft. OSU has plenty of depth and experience. And although usc has had great recruiting classes the last few years, replacing Full Name Booty, Chauncey Washington, Sam Baker, Fred Davis, Sedrick Ellis, Lawrence Jackson, Keith Rivers, other starting seniors who I can't name off the top of my head, and anyone leaving early, will be quite a challenge. I really like OSU's chances.

:oh:


However, OSU will lose to Georgia in the BCS championship game. :(
