Except Ryan day. I think if uga(probably best D left) could hold off the initial onslaught from chip Kelly’s air show through the first half, Day will panic and torpedo the offense. Outside of that congrats bucknuts.

Every team is very flawed. Let's not pretend that OSU has it in the bag until they do.

Sure but you fail to realize they got hot at the right time.

If Texas gets its run game going they have a shot. If they can’t, it’s over. Best secondary in CFB against the best WR room in CFB. Quinn against his old team. Will Howard is 0-4 against Texas in his college career.

There’s a lot of interesting aspects of this game.

Well, that's one massive exception.

tOSU is inconsistent, much like every other team left in this playoff.

This same team needed a miracle to beat 7-6 Nebraska in Columbus. If Texas shuts down the run game, they will win. Howard is mistake prone and this ball hawking secondary will make him pay

22 attempts by RBs for 56 yards isnt going to cut it against OSU. ASU was No. 14 in opponents rush average. OSU is No. 4.

Difference being ASU had 20 days to put together a game plan. OSU has 9. Texas will have Cam Williams back by then.

texas run game is not a complicated scheme and OSU is bigger and faster than ASU. I'd be worried.

Smith isn't playing against OSU's secondary, which is objectively the best in CFB.

The run game itself isn’t. The pre snap motion and misdirection paired with RPO’s is why it works so well. That’s why only Georgia and ASU have been able to effectively stop it.

You can have the 11 ypg passing difference, I’ll take the Thorpe award winner and the best secondary crown.

How can you take the best secondary crown when OSU has a better secondary?

This makes no sense

Texas statistically had the best pass d going into the playoffs(I think some of that is sos rated). Was not impressed with Tex secondary against clemson(osu offense is much better) Clemson came into the game one dimensional and kinda diced em up. Tex could be sandbagging the last two games but they look a fraud.

Klubnick played very well. Get was able to get extra time by moving around and placed balls where only his receivers could get them. They’ll be in the semis next year

Ohio State fan here.

Disagree. Buckeyes have played very well here recently, but this sport is cyclical and Texas is more than capable.

Ohio State still has issues on the o line and possibly in man coverage that Texas can exploit w its receivers.

Also, confident Howard has one dud game left in him.

I think this one is a 4 quarter classic.

Does Texas get to bring its refs that bailed them out of a loss against Arizona State?

Because they don't, Texas does.

We've seen Will "The Thrill" Howard the last 2 games. I think we're due for Will "Spill The Pill" Howard.
