Nah.. Bamas defense wont be able to stop a good running and throwing QB... If Ohio states QB is on point, it will be a shootout offensively similar to the last game these two played

This is silly. They won't be able to completely contain a good dual-threat because, well, very few teams can, and it's usually a fluke. The reason good dual-threats are considered good dual-threats is because -- and let's all gasp in collective shock -- they're good. But they beat both Clemson and OM in shootouts in the last 10 months, and even when they lost to previous OM teams, a considerable majority of the blame could be assigned to special teams errors and offensive mistakes, not defense. This mantra of not being able to stop a good dual-threat is a very simplistic one.
