when you get to play Indy, Purdont, NW, Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan, Illy, Fresno, FAU, McNeese (who they almost lost to), Iowa.....you shouldnt struggle to get 9 wins. Marshall has more wins than that.....but it's easy when you play medicore to bad competition....
Wisky is good but are not great. They have an awesome running game...terriffic RBs.....their defense isnt shabby but OSU shouldnt struggle against it. Wisky WRs are...meh. Wisky QBs are.......yikes. Stave is brutal to watch pass. For most games, they arent really needed to do much. Versus OSU, they will be and they could struggle.
OSU's offense is very QB centric. Yes, they do have other weapons, but their offense really relies on the QB to do the work. Cardale may have been good enough to start over JTB, but he didnt and he hasnt seen real live action gameplay. And that's huge when you're asked to step into a big game like this. I trust Urban to put together a winning game plan. I dont trust Cardale to execute it the entire game.
