I watched some of that lol...

According to butterfingers the ttun offense is close to our offense, their defense and ST are much better.

And, of course, he has it exactly ass-backwards. The reality is that our defense is now roughly equal to their's, and our offense is literally on another planet.

Exactly. Our defenses are pretty similar we just are better vs the run and they're better vs the pass.

The problem for them is they aren't great at stopping the run (not terrible either) and that's with not playing a good rushing team really. Yet they still aren't elite with that.

So much focus is on our WRs but we'll be able to run the ball.

one adjustment I noticed in the Purdue game…OSU has gone to masking their sideline signals with banners. methinks the staff discovered after PSU and tested at Corn that they were having signals stolen from the press box. coincidence that the offense has expoloded the last two weeks? maybe? I did notice in the PSU and Corn games a ton of shifting by the defense up front right at the snap and it was uncanny how often those shifts went right to the designed spot of the run/play.

Apologies if this has been discussed in another thread.

my point is that OSU is prepared. they are firing on all cylinders. the point spread is a gift from Vegas to you. Buckeyes by 28.

I do remember after some game was it purdue or was it nebraska there was talk of them calling out plays. And Day and Perry in the studio kinda blew it off saying they do that every game and sometimes they are write and sometime they are wrong. Perhaps something came of it on film study

OFFENSE:
Ohio State: #1 (47.2 ppg)
Michigan: #15 (36.9 ppg)

DEFENSE:
Ohio State: #16 (19.0 ppg)
Michigan: #7 (16.3 ppg)

Their offense isn't "close" to ours (10.3 ppg less), and their defense is three points per game better (16.3 vs 19.0). But that includes all games including the early out of conference games. Let's just look at common opponents:

Rutgers:
Ohio State 52, Rutgers 13
Michigan 20, Rutgers 13

Nebraska:
Ohio State 26, Nebraska 17
Michigan 32, Nebraska 29

Michigan State:
Ohio State 56, Michigan State 7
Michigan State 37, Michigan 33

Indiana:
Ohio State 54, Indiana 7
Michigan 29, Indiana 7

Penn State:
Ohio State 33, Penn State 24
Michigan 21, Penn State 17

Maryland:
Ohio State 66, Maryland 17
Michigan 59, Maryland 18

We crushed three opponents while Michigan won two in normal fashion (Rutgers and Indiana) and lost one (Michigan State). Two other games (Penn State and Nebraska) we both won close games, and in the sixth game we both blew out Maryland. We beat all six common opponents by more than Michigan did...all six. The average score for the six games: Ohio State 48-14, Michigan 27-20.

Exactly.

I'm back to thinking this is another plunger job.

They have issues stopping the run and thats not good when we are #1 in YPC. Which all but tells us that when we want to run the ball we do very well. I'd be sort of surprised if we come out throwing every play.

Five Ways TTUN can win:
1. The world ends and they are up 3-0 early in the first quarter
2. CJ Stroud can only throw with his left hand
3. The entire OSU team comes down with food poisoning
4. A sink hole engulfs the entire Buckeye Offense
5. The refs call 50 penalties on the Buckeyes ( and none on TTUN) and we lose a nail biter in the last 3 seconds of the game.

Feel free to add...

I mentioned the same thing in Henderson's thread. I think they will be able to have success on the ground as well, especially if they drop 7 and 8 to defend the pass and try to get to Stroud with just their DE's. Day can't fall in love with the pass if they keep getting big chunks on the ground.

Take what they give you.
