Let's see some honest predictions from those that have watched ttun play. I have only seen some clips. I rarely watch them play as my hatred is beyond rational.

My completely wild guess

Bucks 24

I have no idea about the score but as long as the Buckeyes have at least 1 more point at the end I will be a happy man. Just win, baby.

I’ve watched them as much as I could stand…

They’re very good because of how old they are. However they aren’t a roster full of high draft picks like ours.

So what wins out here. Talent or experience?

My very honest opinion is I’d be surprised if we won. They’re good up front (not as good as other years but good enough), very good RBs, good TE play, and a defense that doesn’t need to do much to affect the QB etc.

Overall my worry is we won’t do enough to stop the run. I really like Corum, he reminds me of a slower JK Dobbins. While I don’t think they are much of a test for our secondary I have concerns we aren’t going to force them to beat us. What I do know is running a 6 man front is just asking for 200+ yards.

Other than our ability to stop the run I also have a big concern with our inability to stay out of our own way. That means our tendency to drop the ball that would’ve been first downs (or more), over throwing wide open guys, bad bounces special teams (literally all facets), and of course turnovers and penalties.

I think to win this game we need to stop the run and play our cleanest game since we beat Clemson. Particularly playing a clean game is my largest worry but I also have doubts about our ability to stop the run (see Penn State in spots, Rutgers, and Notre Dame).

I’m going to root like hell and once I get some drinks down tomorrow I’m going to go all Jimmy Dougan on it (“we’re going to win!!”). I should end by saying that I think we can win and I think it’s 60/40 or 55/45. If we do win? Then what a way to bring everything full circle since 2021 because it’ll be in their house with the same stupid uniforms they wore in 2021 and with the same weather.

I wouldn’t be surprised by any outcome in this is game. Big wins in either direct or a close game in either direction. I really hope I’m wrong but I think with it in their house and with how veteran they are? I think we’ll make mistakes. When those mistakes happen it’ll then cause us to be on the field more than we should which will wear on the defense.

If we’re going to win, we need to come out and hit them in the mouth for 7. Put them behind and then build the lead. Force them to throw the ball.

That jumbo package shit won't work now that we are aware of it. The OL isn't what it was the last 2 seasons, especially the tackles. Hendo is more explosive than Corum or Edwards. Our WR's are the best in college, and Stover opens the shit up.

I think we can grind them down and win in the second half.

However, it's a away game, they are vets, so TCUN can pull it out.

But, I like our chances.
