Game Thread tOSU at USC, Sat. Oct. 31st, 730pm ET, NBC

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.

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!

To be fair, Tanner didn't say it was immediately a rout. He said, "when it was a rout, immediately made [him] know it..."
I don't think it had anything to do with being over for Tressel. I think he would have been around for 4-5 more years if it hadn't been for the tattoos and such.

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?
Years of wrong bets have me a little shy. But it seems like a good time to bet the "under", doesn't it?
They think the score is going to be about 31-23?

Get a couple screens to Smith.
Hire a couple of zookeepers to teach gorillas how to play offensive line so we can run the ball in short yardage situations.
We got this.
