Texas will beat them but I trust Vegas more than Paul...so it will be close(Osu is favored). Still have Texas winning, but closer.

The Texas Hype Train is going strong this off-season.

Ohio state only returns 7 starters from last season.

Texas should beat them with how good their front 7 is.

You think the hype is uncontrollable now?

I hope Texas wins, but in a horribly ugly game that whacks both teams in the polls. Something like 5 turnovers per team. 10-9 scoreboard. For OSU a field goal after a Texas fumble and a manning pick six and missed extra point . For Texas a field goal and a late touchdown from the backup QB after Arch is pulled after his fourth turnover. Now that would be a happy game. Lol

It wouldn’t surprise me - the game is at 11am, Ohio State is replacing even more than Texas and their QB is even less experienced than Texas’

Florida in The Swamp will be a tougher game than OSU in The Shoe.

I doubt the winner of Texas / Ohio State is dropping in the polls even if Penn States drops 100 on Nevada.

Why does anyone still give a frick what this guy says? Even when he was originally on Birmingham radio he was just a shite-stirring troll, and only gotten worse since then.

a little misleading those 7 returning starters because most of their starting O line got hurt and out for yr , and O$U rolled 8-9 in on the defensive line last yr only 4 counted as starters.. I still think its a one score game either way andd I got Texas 27-24 right now but game really doesnt meen anything if you think about it . both of them will be in the playoffs

Not unless Texas' O-line breaks down. They lose any more than 1 guy and they are hurting bad. Texas is going to look like the Texans in their inaugural year with Arch running for his life. The way Texas likes to throw the ball down the field, going to be tough doing so with no time in the pocket.

I don't see either one of these teams coming out firing on all cylinders. I think this will be a sloppy game and the team that makes the least mistakes wins.

Why would OSU be hungover from 7 months ago when the team who played them closest and is #1 in the poll is coming into town?

quote:

“We saw what happened against Michigan, we are over that,” Finebaum said recently. “We saw what happened in the Oregon game. They’re inconsistent and I think against Oregon, who has been a flawless team most of the season, I don’t think they’re going to get it done. Peg me in for the Ducks, quack, quack.”

He isn't always right; hell he's prob as wrong as any of us as fans

Y’all have a wild schedule. No home games in the month of October that’s tough. Texas road warriors.

Did Finebaum ever fight Charles? Charles said he was coming to the studio to whip Paul's arse

Texas will beat tOSU at the start of the year. They will lose a rematch later. Ohio Stare is replacing both coordinators and more players. They will be good by the end of the year but suck initially
