I don’t think that anyone with any objectivity has any doubt that Ohio State is the best team in this matchup by an ever-widening margin. While they have had more talent than their rivals in each of the last three games that they lost, the gap has grown tremendously this season. However, there is more at play than just a talent advantage in this game.
This Buckeye team, including the coaching staff, feels different than any other of Ryan Day vintage. While I think the toughness debate has gone way off the rails, there has been an aggression – both in play and attitude – that has been evident and growing throughout the back half of the season. This team is salty and spoiling for a fight, and I think they will go looking for one against the Winged Helmet Wingnuts this afternoon.
Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, Day – and by extension his staff – know the stakes are high when it comes to their team’s goals and their status with the program and the fan base. I also think that both players and coaches have heard the trash talking from players and fans out of Ann Arbor over the years, and they are sick of it. This one is personal.
I am confident that Chip Kelly will be able to scheme around the one area where the bad guys have what is assumed to be an advantage against OSU’s rebuilt offensive line and will find new and creative ways for Will Howard to get the ball to his stable of playmakers. In fact, I think Will Howard will have a career day and will move himself closer to being a Heisman Trophy finalist.
I think that Howard will throw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns while running for one as well. Two of those scores will go to Jeremiah Smith, continuing a trend of true freshman receivers having dominant games against That Team Up North.
I also believe that we will finally see the return of OSU’s dual-pronged rushing attack. TreVeyon Henderson has been the one dominating the rushing yardage in recent weeks, but I think Quinshon Judkins will join him in going over 100 yards today.
I expect Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams, Cody Simon, J.T. Tuimoloau, et. al to continue bringing the types of pressure that they have in recent weeks. So, while I am going to maintain some level of objectivity and refrain from picking Ohio State to finally hang a hundred on them, I am predicting a fifty-burger. I am going with Ohio State 52, the Sanctimonious Skunk Bears 9.
Will Howard: Over 300 yards passing and 4 TD through the air, 1 rushing TD
Jeremiah Smith: Two touchdowns
TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins: Both over 100 yards rushing
