I'm an OSU grad and I see the same thing. Should be a close game that comes down to whomever gets the ball last. 2 excellent defenses means the game should be tight, which makes taking the points (up to 13.5 from what I've heard on tv) the correct bet. I'd like to see OSU win, but if had to bet the game outright, I'd say 17-14 USC.
Should be a defensive struggle, but if it comes down to QB.... Boeckman makes too many bad decisions.

Could this be the true breakthrough game for Pryor? If he is half as good as he is supposed to be, and 1/100000th as good as he THINKS he is, this is the time to step up...

that's the one very interesting thing... I know OSU's got a bunch of scripted plays for when Pryor's in, that they have not run yet.

Uh no. It would be a horrendous mistake to feed him to the wolves this early in the season.

Ohio State is just dreadful. Thank you USC for putting these clowns out of the national title race.

the only team in the TERRIBLE 10 that has a shot at osu is psu, if they play?
if the voters have any sense they will not vote for osu and save us all another beat down in the NCG.

@ Wisconsin Oct. 4th.

Wisconsin looking good at Fresno so far...although Fresno's offense is tentative and b.itchlike.

I completely disagree. This game reminded me so much of the Texas game a few years ago at Columbus. When Troy Smith was in, OSU was a completely different team, yet Tressel continued to go with Justin Zwick in that game.

Tonight, instead of leaving Pryor in the game, where Ohio State at least had a chance, although not much of one, Tressel continued to play Boeckman, who was a complete disgrace.

Pryor did a decent job tonight, and with him in all of the time Ohio State could have at least made an effort at a game, although there was nothing, and I repeat nothing, that would have given Ohio State a win tonight.

You wait and completely disagree after the fact? He did look the best of any OSU player but that isn't saying much.

Ohio State had no chance with him being the starting QB. None. Nada. Zilch.
