Game of the Century of the Week: OSU at USC

[randomhero423]

lol this game is gonna b over quick.

[High 5]

USC is clearly the better team, but the score is a little deceptive. The USC defense looks a tad overrated.

[Manocad]

Also don't embarrass the Big Ten and get blown out.

Too late. Hey, but how about those Nittany Lions?

[randomhero423]

USC will win the natl' championship going undefeated.

and syracuse sucks.

[High 5]

USC has no resistance in this 3rd quarter. They're just running free out there. OSU should be banned from the top 10 for at least the next several years.

[NoSkyy]

This was an huge disappointment.

[High 5]

I said it would be a flop, but I got my hopes up a little in the first half. USC wasn't playing much better than OSU, but the 2nd half has been completely one-sided.

[dockingsched]

what a beatdown. same ol ohio st. somewhere carson palmer is smiling.

[Yangsing]

gee gee buckeyes

[craig01]

OSU's offense was totally destroyed.

They looked terrible......

USC looks like they could beat the Chiefs.

[Next Coming]

I didn't expect us to win but I liked what I saw from my man Terrelle Pryor. I think when he gets coached up he can be the difference.

USC proved that the problems the Buckeyes had against Ohio were not a fluke.

Alex Boone has gone from 1st round pick to lucky to get drafted status in three weeks. The guy has absolutely zero lateral agility and can't locate defenders who don't run right at him. It's time to let my boy Mike Adams take over.

The OSU defense is still very good but they stay on the field too much, and those LBs don't get off blocks very well. Laurinaitis included. Malcolm Jenkins is clearly the best player on the team, perhaps the best cover man in the country.

Tressel ball cannot defeat teams with (arguably) more talent. His style of play beats the Michigans and Wisconsins and overrated Texas teams, not teams with depth and speed everywhere like Florida or USC. OSU has the horses but he just doesn't turn them loose enough, both on offense and defense.

The DL reminds me of the 2007 Chicago Bears--going for a sack on every snap, even if it's a run play.


Major props to Pete Carroll for getting so many talented guys to buy into the "team" concept, a much more difficult task than most people appreciate. That is a special football team and probably the best team I've seen in the last 4-5 years.

Might be. At least until they get spanked by the NCAA.

[LAKESHOW]

it was a tough battle for the buckeyes. good luck the rest of the season. a couple of key errors turned the tide, and when its USC, thats all you need. when we get that margin of errors or mistakes going in our favor, we turn those into tidal waves. interceptions. key mishaps and penalties . . . etc.

i say watchout however for that kid pryor, he looks like a superstar in the making. this kid has some juice. but we'll scout and prepare for him next year.

peace out buckeye fans!

I don't think the Buckeyes come into Camp Randall and win with the defense that showed up against USC. Badgers have a completely different offensive philosophy, but pounding the ball will be just as effective.

Yeah I would agree for this season. I was going more in general. Don't look now but the Badgers have a real shot at an undefeated season. It will be interesting to see if they would make it to the BCS title game if USC is the only other undefeated, over a one-loss Georgia or Mizzou or Oklahoma team.

i have a feeling if pryor started and took all the snaps, result would be different. not saying OSU would ve gotten the W cuz god knows USC might make a decent NFL team but it would ve been more competitive. it seemed like after consecutive piss poor QB plays and the interception TD, OSU was mentally shot down and lost the intensity they had at the beginning which is pretty similar to Florida and LSU games. i figure as good of a coach Tress is, he is not the best motivator out there.

i am quite excited with pryor though, i really hope that Tress makes him a starter soon, so that he learns the ropes and rules the world starting next season.
