WHY IS EVERYONE POUNDING OHIO STATE?

[BuffaloBill]

Honestly, I don't like this game either way, but I see a lot of posters here pounding Ohio State and I can't figure out why.

If I had to make a pick in this one I would lean towards Ohio St.

I just think Mich St. is a very unpredictable team, and if they are on their game, they can beat anyone in the country.

It really would not surprise me to see them go in there and come out with a win.

We have already seen that they play well on the road when they went into Notre Dame and beat them.

I would like to hear some view points on this one from people backing Ohio St.

Thanks.

public backing the dog here on most consensus. Really no justification for it. Ohio state will stop high powered O just a question if they can score 28-21. if they can do that they probably beat the #

ysg3,

Do you think there is any way Mich St. goes in there and wins outright?

 

[ysg3]

yes, but unlikely.... i mean line only 6.5 anything is possible. However, public is banging the wrong side, line not shaking an inch. horsehsoe very tough place to play, and Ohio state known for stopping big offenses. However, think the buckyes have no trouble running on the thin Mich St. D. Passing game not doing that great, but coaches will/should be looking for more ways to get ginn/holmes involved. Maybe now that there seson is over they will take some shots downfield. i like the bucks minus the points

it seems like a lot of people are thinking its a bounce back situation. plus ohio st is tough at home, the d doesn't give up too many points on their field. and mich st defense is by no means dominant, so buckeyes may put up some points. we'll see, but i personally would have a hard time siding with the spartans

Ohio St covers with ease. Same reasons as Johnny

i peruse another forum...and mich st is the darling over there....

myself,i lean toward the buckeyes....stanton is awfully good....

but,i think ohio st has a distinct situational edge....quality club with homefield coming of a road loss....

with the superior defense...

this "d' isn`t a sieve like michigan`s.....

This is the perfect situation to fade basketcase Sparty.
