Arizona State had 510 yards offense on you. That white boy ran all over you. Arizona State ain't no Ohio State


ASU was at 5.2 yards per play, Texas ended up around 6.2.

The issue was ASU ran 97 plays and had two huge "fluke" (32 yard fke punt and the dead duck Skataboo pass) plays that even more heavily skewed those numbers.

I would be more interested in how does OSU do if they can't hit the big pass plays early.

I actually think it may be a good game just because it is almost impossible for a team to string 3 epic performances back to back.
I mean Ohio State has been a machine the last 2 games.
Sooner or later the law of averages catch up and you have a few turnovers or throws that miss the mark.
And Texas has some decent corners that my be able to slightly slow down Ohio State's WR's.

This is strictly for the clicks from these “experts”. If Ewers plays well enough, why the hell would he be replaced? There’s a reason Sark likes him as the starter. The key is going to be the running game. If Texas gets that going, Ewers’ issues won’t even be a “thing”. Texas defense will be tested. That’s more of a talking point than the offense

This makes me nervous.

It doesn’t look good for Texas though. If the bet % was lower than the money % that would tell me smart money is on Texas but it looks like hopeful money is on Texas right now.

You all are giving too much credit to OSU for the Oregon game.

Having a month off from playing proved to be the achilles for all the teams with a bye.

UTx is better built to play with OSU.

I wouldn't be surprised if UTx wins it because of a Howard turnover or 2.

Ohio St. has better players overall and should win by a couple of TDs.
Texas has a solid defense but like Georgia they don't have enough offensive fire power to hang with OSU in my opinion.

As a Texas fan, I don't think we are ready yet but I think Sark will get us there. I believe we are a top 5 team but too up and down on offense to beat Ohio State.

I think that's what it will take for Texas to win. A really good defensive effort.

I like Ohio St to win, and Texas to take a pound of flesh.

Ohio St will be too battered for Notre Dame. Irish win it all.

I have Ohio St winning. Defense.. Texas had a slight edge. Ohio St offense is much better IMO.Texas has to win TO battle by 2 if they are going to win.

As it stands right now.., Ohio St by 11.

Texas finds its defense tonight and busts the crap out of the bucknuts. The offense is going to put a scoring clinic on over achieving big thing and once they are 24 points down in the second quarter the buckeyes quit like all big ten teams do.

Now that is what you call a hot take. And a stupid take.

Texas.

Huge school with deep, top talent. Admittedly dont click always. But the difference is always motivation. Underdog is all i need.

Ohio cannot just out muscle this type of team.
