24-17 tOSU. 17-17 going into the 4th quarter and Teddy runs back a kickoff or punt for the game winner


I think that completion ratio is a bit lofty but i'd be glad to see it :)

Agreed, I looked at it a while later and adjusted some of the totals... brought the overall down to 27-17.

You guys saying tOSU will wrack up 34 points are smoking crack.

I will bet a ton of coin, real coin, that OSU scores more than 14. I may be a bit generous in my prediction of us scoring 34, but if you think your defense can hold us to 14 points, in our house, in a night game with a 100,000 to 5,000 fan ratio for us, you need to turn yourself in to the Betty Ford Clinic.

LOL
Now a Betty Ford Clinic Application Form -- customized for any over-zealous visitors should be a mandatory distribution prior to the game.

Perhaps xray would accept one in good humor in place of his current "On Paper 2005" logo.

Oh yes -- tOSU 25 -- Texas 17

There's a safety in there somewhere.

I've said since day one...Ohio State by double digits!

I don't get into predicting scores but I'm more of a spread kind of guy. With OSU's offense you can never tell...but I firmly believe we will win by a margin of 10+ and as many as 17 on the LOW end! It could get ugly for UT if things "roll" our way. If they "roll" in UT's favor? We all sustain another cardiac arrest which has been commonplace since the 2002 Season and come out a winner by a landslide (1-4pts).

Is that the same crack that made you put a "w" in front of "rack?" Or are you using your silly accent to say the word "wreck." If that's the case, you spelled that word wrong, also, and I didn't know you could "wreck up 34 points." Of course, you bring up a good point. If Ohio State puts up 34 points, it'll be like a car wreck all over y'all.

My prediction: Texas scores a FG on their first drive, and the game stays 3-0 through the first quarter. Pretty much no offense by either team after that 55-yard opening drive by Texas. About 10 minutes to go in the half, Texas scores a touchdown. The key play in that drive is a long run by VY on a missed tackle in the backfield. CB scores on a misdirection run from 7 yards out. With 3:00 to go in the half, Ohio State scores a touchdown on a 2-yard run by Pittman. Key play in this drive is a 15-yard pass to Holmes on third and 8, from Ohio State's 25 yard line. Ohio State marches down the field pretty well after that play, with Troy Smith completing four of his next five passes, and scrambling for another first down on Second and 11. Halftime score: Texas 10 - Ohio State 7.

In the second half, Ohio State is moving the ball a ton better, but can't seem to capitalize. They drive down the field to inside Texas' 5 yard line, but a fumbled snap gives Texas the ball. Texas moves it out to the 35 yard line before being forced to punt. Ohio State drives down the field, again, but fails to score on fourth and goal from the 2. Texas gets the ball out to the 8, and punts, again. Ohio State gets the ball back to the 18. On third and 4, Smith hits Holmes for what should be a 6-yard gain, but Texas' cornerback, Joe McSuckpants, falls down on the play. A quick juke move later, and the safety's pants fall off as Holmes crosses the goal line. Good guys see their first lead of the game with just minutes to go in the third quarter, 14-10.

Texas gets a good return on the next kick-off to the 40. Again, they fail to get the first down, and the third quarter ends. The two teams trade punts a couple of times. Texas continues to punt out of bounds, giving OSU the edge in the punting battle. With about 6 minutes to go in the game, Texas gets a long pass down the middle to the 28 yard line. However, on third and 12, VY can only scramble for three yards. Texas makes the 44-yard field goal. Good guys are still winning, 14-13. The bucks take the next kick-off, and, using TresselBall to perfection, drive down the field eating the clock. Pittman and Haw look like the studs we expect, with the duo averaging 5.5 yards a carry this drive. Smith is 2 of 3 for 19 yards, as Ohio State brings the clock down to 90 seconds (that's 1:30, for those of you in Texas). Huston kicks a beautiful 46-yard field goal, and the crowd, for a couple seconds, forgets that the Nuge is gone. Texas returns the kick-off to the 28 yard line. With one timeout, they get the ball to Ohio State's 48 yard line, but on fourth and four, fail to convert. TS kneels the ball twice, and Ohio State wins, 17-13.

A team that averaged 20.6 offensive points last year doesn't put up 20 on Texas.

Two things to say here:

1. Texas' defense in the Rose Bowl was NOT impressive. They are not as good defensively as 5 of the Big Ten teams were last year.

2. OSU's offense really found itself as the season rolled on last year and will be much improved this year.

That said, it will be 31-17, but it won't be Texas winning. OSU 31 UT 17

24-17 Texas?

Texas fixes coverage problems on kickoff and tOSU has trouble sustaining drives on long fields. The score off of 2 big plays but much to the dismay of the heisman voters the big plays come from Holmes not ginn. Texas employs whatever they did to antonio perkins to take ginn out of the punt return game. Game is very close and score could easily be the same with different outcome.

24-7 BUCKS!


I think OSU will do the right thing and stop their ground game and force them to throw and Texas Tech they aren't.

I think we hit Texas early with some kind of trick play or we intercept a pass for a touchdown! one of the two. I just think OSU has too many weapons to stop and Texas is alot easier because they only have 1 great weapon. I'll be damned if OSU is losing this game. I mean they can't I'll be at the game.
