Game Thread Southern Cal 18, at tOSU 15 (Sept 12th, 8 pm, ESPN)

Take heart Buckeyes! This is exactly the kind of situation that Tressel thrives in. Being a underdog in our own house. Disrespected by the entire country. Hearing for months how we suck. USC the greatest team ever, again. We don't have a chance, blah, blah, blah.
I expect a maximim effort from this team with no quite. They will make us proud on national tv. That's all we could ask of these kids.

I hope so. The Texas bowl game gives us hope. USC is much better than Texas was last year....except in QB. We faced down the best QB in the country last year and nearly beat him.

my money: heart says OSU 28, USC 26
head says: USC 41 OSU 21

If our defense ever, ever, gives up 41 points at home to any, any, team starting a true frosh QB in only his second-ever college game, then they need to turn their balls in to the nearest Manhood Collection Center...

Man, I'm so pumped for this game.
To all of you going, first off, I am incredibly jealous. Second off, and I might say this every day until the game.. Be loud, but more importantly, do what you can to make sure your whole section is loud. Nighttime at the Shoe is worth a whole lotta points.
We will surprise a whole lot of people Saturday.

I will whispering all week to save my voice for sat night...

Are you interested in discussing the game this week or are you just looking to get in your not so subtle digs?

I prefer game discussion to your posting style this evening.

I am just joking around with some of the posters here, but if you don't like it, become a donor and I will stop, I promise.

Okay, you're my hero for being brutally honest and not holding back, okay?

The three big questions in this game are

1. Can we stop USC RBs?

2. How will our OL hold up?

3. Can we run the ball effectively?

Gotta add a 4th... Can the front 7 get pressure early and often on Barkley?
