Ok, someone needs to talk me off the ledge here.

All I keep seeing is 2010 Oregon in the Rose Bowl. OSU hadn't seen an offense like Oregon's all year. Oregon hadn't faced a defense like OSU's all year. Now it's reveresed only replace Oregon with MSU.

OSU have an unstoppable offense, MSU has an unpenetrable defense. How is OSU going to win this game?

All I can possibly think of is, our defense can stop the run so the grinding it out, clock management aspect OSU used on Oregon won't be there, but they can dink and dive pass attack to acheive the same thing.
Michigan was able to stop OSU in 3 out of the first 5 drives. MSU's defense is way better. But Miller was wearing gloves and had to accoutn for wind.

Frankly I don't see a lot of drives happening from either team this game.

Someone instill some confidence in me please.

I dislike the Oregon comparisons just based on talent in the trenches. OSU has a lot more size, depth, and ability on its lines than the Oregons and Baylors of the world.

Where Oregon falls apart against these physical teams is by getting dominated up front and worn down because they can't hang with the physical attack for 4 quarters.

OSU has the horses to do so. I think 28 is enough to win the game for the Buckeyes, but it wouldn't surprise me if they approach 40, as I don't see Sparty sustaining long drives like Iowa did in the first half.
