This game is not exactly generating hype or excitement. I guess that's what you get with the current system college football has in place.

The last time these two teams play the Buckeyes came out on top, but McCoy was a freshman back then, now he's the experienced QB and the Bucks have a true freshman calling plays for them. That should be the difference.

That said, the Big 12 is a passing conference and I don't think the Longhorns have faced a team that can run the ball like OSU can. That's their only hope.

What are your predictions? I see the Longhorns winning 27-17.

I like Texas.....of course it's been so long since either team has played I can barely remember who plays for who. But, given Ohio States ability to strong ability to highly disappoint in these games, I'll take Texas.:cool:

Speaking of disappointing performances in big games, you catch the Rose Bowl there Johnny?;):rolleyes::D

Yup, ended up closer then/than I thought. I picked USC to win by 4 touchdowns. Face it, the Big Ten is overrated.

I don't think so. It's definitely a down time for the conference, but overrated...I don't think you can really call any college football conference overrated. The big guys always ebb and flow.

Perfect example, the Big 12. 4-5 years ago everyone was punking it...this season they had some great teams in it. And everyone is loving it.

The Buckeyes can hang with them.

Penn State should have hung with USC, but terrible penalties and turnovers let it get away, and they still hung tough. If that 50 yard pass play doesn't get called back on PSU, it's a 14-14 ballgame. Instead, they had to punt and it's 21-7.

USC is just too talented to play as sloppy as Penn St. did. If Penn State executes, that would have been a very close game.

Here we go again with Jimmy Tressel....all about field goals.

You got 4th and 2 in Texas territory, you have a phenom who can shake tackles playing QB for you, and you opt for a rushed 51 yard field goal...giving McCoy great starting field position.

That play right there is enough to swing the momentum in Texas' favor. They score a TD on this drive...that could mean the game.

Give me the clipboard, Jimmy...you're a liability.:o

btw- Chrud, your coworker should work for ESPN, because he don't got a clue bro.:rolleyes:
