Game Thread tOSU at Cal Bears, Sep 14, 7 ET, Fox

Pretty good chance it goes over 66.

The number of plays run by both teams gives you a lot of chances for scoring, more margin for safety, however you want to look at it.

Most likely OSU 40 something, Cal 20 something

I don't see a blowout in this ballgame. Cal is going to score some points. Our offense is still inconsistent, especially if Guiton starts (which I think will happen.) I see something like 41-27.

Is there a bar in the Berkeley campus area that Ohio State fans are meeting up to pregame at?

I'm not much of a tactician on formations, etc but I thought I would take a stab this week. I expect a lot of dime formation with 4 on the DL, Shazier the lone LB roaming the middle of the field and 6 in the backfield: Bryant, Barnett, Roby, Grant, Reeves (these 5 seem obvious) and the 6th maybe Apple? Or I would expect some type formation with the 6th man in the "backfield" being whichever of Powel or Bell has better cover skills. Again....I am admittedly a hack at this......so chime in. We certainly have great personnel for this type of arrangement and seems the best to counter an all out air raid. If you play one lone LB in the middle they better be FAST and we have that in Shazier. I like too that we still have 4 on the D Line to bring pressure. I really expect this to be our base formation on Saturday.

The 6th DB would probably be Pittsburgh Brown.

Over at Bearinsider, they mentioned 150 recruits (commits and offers) of theirs that will be at the game. If any of them were on our radar, this would help as well.
Perennial champion, De Salle, is right there in the East Bay Area.

Btw, the Hayward Fault runs directly underneath the stadium, and is thought to be overdue for a big rupture. Whoever's going, have fun!
