It wasn't though? He won the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl the next 2 years going 23-3

He also would have been preseason #1 the next year.... That team was fucking loaded.

That game at USC when it was a rout immediately made me know it might be over for Tressel

So that's sorta revisionist history there. As has been pointed out, JT went 23-3 and won a Rose and a Sugar Bowl, but beyond that, the game in 2008 against USC wasn't even more than a 2 score game until late in the 2nd quarter, so saying it was "immediately a rout" isn't true.

OSU is still a touchdown favorite 3 time zones away. And over/under is 53.5. Doesn’t Vegas know we have a backup QB coming in?

Luke and Chris Henry Jr have to both be stoked about this game. Hopefully they hook up for a few nice plays against the Trojans.

Phillip Bell, also. He played with Luke at Mission Viego.

And never discount the fact that many recruits will be attending this game on the USC sideline. Hopefully, from what read on Recruiting thread, a number of Mater Dei players (?) might get a glimpse of the heart and soul of the Buckeye team. If I were a recruit, I'd watch both teams, with an eye to where I'd fit in, even though a coach was in my face when other team was playing.....Go Bucks!
