I'm playing both, and yes, I think it is a gift as well.
OSU players not only think they can win, they DON'T THINK OU CAN BEAT THEM. (trust me)
They may be the only ones on the planet, but I know that Les Miles said last year (in private but before the game) that OSU would be ahead by 21 at halftime. You saw the result.
If anyone wants to know any specific info about this game--either team, just ask and I will provide...
