Hey Russ thanks for looking in. Many good points and Ohio S offense definitely worries me. Many teams prepare to stop offenses and slow down key players every week. Sometimes no matter how hard you try and have your own offense or 2nd string 3rd team players run the same plays over and over it's just not the same thing or personal that will be executing it on the field. And there's a reason why they were the second best running team last year, I'm just hoping they can score enough to help that 17 point spot stand up. Basically hoping Ohio st don't score or move the ball consistently in big chunks. Also think Ohio st lines are generally 2 to 3 points high in most games.

I had that game checked to look into later on. I wasn't sure who was all a go for Marshall a couple of weeks ago. Weren't there problems with some of the players? They are tough at the QB spot and many have picked them along with Bowling Green as the tops in that Conf. Miami Ohio (0-12) but return a bunch of players.
What do you know about them?

This is indeed a tough game to bet on. However, my gut tells me to go with the Buckeyes for several reasons. For starters, they just might have a better defensive line than the 2006 Gators, and that's saying a lot. Realistically, their only problem last year on D was covering the pass and against a run heavy team, i don't see that being a problem. Guys like Bosa and Benett aren't fooled very easily, even with a triple option. As for the Buckeyes O, I think it's important to remember that it's not just Braxton who was capable of putting up point. Urban gave guys like Ezekiel and Wilson a lot of playing time and Devin Smith is just simply a stud. I think it will be close to the given spread, but Urban know's how important it is to run up the score and give the boys a chance at a spot in the playoffs. Not bashing on your pick, I mean it has way more value, just saying, don't count the Buckeyes out just yet

Very good points about Ohio St. I'm sure they will be ready. Sort of a big 10 fan here and hope Ohio St has a great season. I just don't want them to win by 17 this week.
Good luck and as always, thoughts, info, and well wishes appreciated.
