Who cares if you would be favored ? You were favored last time , in your own building.. Ducks can control the game on the ground with the defense you put out. We win again imo. You didn't even get the chance to meet Mr. Theboduex in your backfield last game.They were better that day at the very beginning of the season, but no I don't think Oregon is better than Ohio State now. Buckeyes would be favored decently head-to-head, and should be.
Buckeyes have improved a lot since then.Who cares if you would be favored ? You were favored last time , in your own building.. Ducks can control the game on the ground with the defense you put out. We win again imo. You didn't even get the chance to meet Mr. Theboduex in your backfield last game.
It's fine if Oregon is ranked ahead of them given they have 1 loss and the head to head win. I'm just saying Ohio State is the better team now.If Oregon's victory over OSU doesn't matter now because it was early in the season and many people think Ohio St would win right now.. Then why even play the game to begin with?
Of course it mattered. And it should. Oregon beat OSU heads up. In Columbus. No way OSU should be ranked ahead of them, all other things equal.
Talking points is what I'm seeing here. Reality is Scoreboard. I like our chances against OSU.. 2-3 match-up is a possibility. You don't have the edge at QB.. take my chances going against a freshmen in a big game..Stroud makes more mistakes ..Buckeyes have improved a lot since then.
Ohio State would have the edge at QB, RB, and have the top 3 WR's in the game. They've also improved a bit defensively, especially against the run. Plus CJ Verdell wouldn't be playing.
Having Theboduex back would help Oregon, but Ohio State overall is still the better team at this point. Pretty sure he was playing against Stanford as well...
Ohio State lost its second game of the season back in 2014 at home against a crappy Virginia Tech team. They went on to win it all. Would Virginia Tech have beaten Ohio State if they played again later in the season?????
You don't have the edge at QB..
There's a reason Stroud is second in the Heisman race right now, and Brown is not in it at all
Same players played in Sept with the exception of our two best defensive players that would be playing potentially in playoffs... You can talk about a better conference , I'm not so sure.. Our strength of schedule is better than Ohio St's at the moment.....We beat Ohio St on their field , and until you can beat us , posting that you're better , pretty much means nothing,.Stroud: 68.8% completion rate, 3036 yards, 30 TDs, 5 INTs
Brown: 64.4% completion rate, 2030 yards, 12 TDs, 4 INTs
Stroud also playing in a tougher conference against way better defenses. Doesn't seem like he makes many more mistakes based on the stats.
I'll give you that Brown is the more mobile quarterback. But Stroud definitely better overall
I tend to agree. But.. UGA has a history of choking vs Alabama. This will be a fun SEC championship game this year.Its Georgia and no one else.....same as LSU in 19 and Bama in 20. Georgia will cruise to the NC and hardly be tested
