re: Alabama vs Ohio State matchup

I think both teams are pretty much even, I give the coaching edge to tOSU. Like most game turnover here and there will cost one of these teams the game.
Pick Bama
Root for tOSU

55-6 Bama.....nuff said

Why do you idiots respond to this troll, he contributes nothing and yet you give all the respect, some bama fans amaze me with their stupidity

I mean OSUs line is:

#1 tackle
#1 guard
#2 guard at center
#2 center at guard
4* three year starter at LT.

I fully respect the hell out of Bamas line but OSU has a top 2 guy at 4/5 spots and 4/5 are upperclassmen as well

Clemson and Notre Dame had a much easier schedule. ACC has been the worst power 5 for a long time and the bowl season reinforced just how bad they are. I'd consider putting the Sun Belt over them.

Ohio State doesn’t load the box.

My guess is that Fields’ ribs are going to be not much better if not a bit worse because he’s not playing on adrenaline and guts this time...he’s coming in cold. Rib injuries are always slow healing. I bruised mine on the left side a couple years ago and it felt like I lived with the pain forever. Of course, they’ll probably have him high enough to not feel it w/ pain killers for the most part.

So my prediction is OSU leans heavy on the run game with Sermon and Teague and tries to limit the exposure on Fields. Alabama has been sorta mediocre by their standards against the run, so it wouldn’t surprised me if the Buckeyes could be very successful running it from what I’ve seen of them.

Alabama’s goal on defense should be to get them in obvious passing situations and try to put hits on Fields. Anything legal and not unnecessary should be applied through the echo of the whistle. If you can put your weight in him in a way that isn’t unsportsmanlike then go for it. After the last two years of defenders diving at Tua’s “lower extremities” for no damn reason when they could’ve easily tackled him in his body, I don’t really have any sympathy. You put a QB playing injured or at less than 100% out there then you just gotta live with it if your OL lets somebody touch em.

I don’t really have a great strategy for Alabama. They struggled with hurry up and formation multiples and motions...all I expect from OSU. Northwestern and Indiana play a lot of zone defense but Alabama doesn’t play a ton of true zone defense.

Ohio State will get torched by Alabama’s O even without Waddle if they can get their down 4 blocked. They basically just play C1 or C3 w/ a middle of the field safety every play. It is all on their down four for pressure excepting for their occasional blitzes to keep you honest. If Alabama gets them blocked better than Clemson did then it is not unreasonable that Mac Jones has an absolutely massive game. Remember, Lawrence threw for 400 w/ no run game and subpar protection. You can gash them in the air if their DL doesn’t get home.

It's almost like Willy T doesn't know anything about football at all but just comes here to troll.
