We're gong to stomp a mudhole in their asses and be ranked no lower than #2 going into routing Oregon at home. I live a mile and a half from the WHAC and it's going to be rocking the rest of the year.....

Or at least I will be.

Ohio State is a 6.5-Point Favorite Over USC Ahead of Top-16 Showdown in Los Angeles on Halloween​

After Ohio State opened as a 7.5-point favorite over USC in August, the Buckeyes are now favored by 6.5 points on DraftKings and FanDuel ahead of the top-16 showdown in Los Angeles on Halloween night next weekend, despite starting a first-time signal-caller at quarterback.

The total is currently listed at 53.5 on DraftKings and 54.5 on FanDuel.

Halloween game for this one. Definitely going to be going, any other BPers planning on attending this one as well?

I'm looking at tickets and teetering in pulling the trigger. Flights from where I'm at to LAX are not cheap right now unfortunately, but still might do it. I'll let you know if I do go for it. Halloween in LA could be sweet

 

[Bestbuck36]

Easy money

 

[Bestbuck36]

Trojans suck. 51-17 Buckeyes. They won't get 17 vs our starters either

If that's really what USC has, we'll win handily next weekend.

Got news for you. USC is about to play well above their abilities next week. I don't know if they play Michigan....but if so, that's when they'll play like dysfunctional toddlers.

I wish I could go. I'm a 45 minute flight from LA. My wife might kill me if I didn't go to the Halloween party and trick and treating tho

Wish we had Wiskys pass rush. Defense is gonna need to ball out to not put too much pressure on this young QB

I was about to ask my wife and then remembered I don't have one of those. So I bought my ticket and flight to LAX. Time to pull out some warm weather clothes that I just packed away.

PS - I love Halloween though, so your plans sound pretty damn fun too.

Because the transitive property is so accurate in predicting the outcome of future games?

Whatever we saw week 8 isn’t going to replay exactly in week 9.

This USC team look like they are only actually interested in two things: playing offense and then only at home.

They don’t seem particularly interested in road games or defense no matter where they play.

But you know what? They have a bunch of underachieving talent that could just unfuck themselves and play up to their abilities for one game. Front runners like that only need some fake confidence, smell a little blood in the water and they change.

A true freshman starting his first time could easily make the mistake that serves as the catalyst for front runners to play well.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Yeah I’m still not sure about this one. Especially because it was the rush that seemed to fuck up their offense.

 

[buckeyemania11]

USC is an already dirty team who's going to be in desperation mode in this game now. Not a good thing for us.
