7 of Oregon's 10 losses since 2009 have come when their opponent had 10+ days off prior to game. Both Oregon & Ohio St last played Jan. 1.

I think everyone including myself wants to say oregon should win by a few TDs. But urban will find a way to have a chance to win.

 

[BigRedBuster]

I won't bet against Urban in a game like this.

OSU by 10.

I think it's the Bucks by 12 if we are better or even in the TO department.

I just can't see them stopping the rushing attack and their D front isn't as talented or as big as Alabama's

I say predict the score contest! Eh, admin?

 

[BigRedBuster]

I think it all depends on OSU's defense. Can they slow down the OU offense. THAT is how you have a chance to beat OU. If OU is allowed to operate their offense like they did against FSU, OSU is screwed.

Ouch! First their best CB now a top WR:

Good thing that there is an eleven day break between the games #SECFatigue

I agree. On the flip side I think if OSU can move the ball the way they showed against Bama it could be a shootout but I agree that it will be interesting to see how OSU's defense matches up against Oregon's o. A lot of adrenaline will be pumping so it will be interesting to see who wins the turnover battle and what team can limit costly mistakes.

Besides last year Oregon had played in a BCS bowl game the previous 4 consecutive years.

Oregon has gone 16 consecutive games without losing the turnover battle, by far the longest active streak among Power 5 schools.

You don't have Kiffin to kick around anymore.

I think it's the Bucks by 12 if we are better or even in the TO department.

In 2 hours we have the 1st playoff NC. How sweet it is that the ESPN darling, SEC, is sitting at home and two teams from conferences that used to meet every year in the Grand Daddy of Bowl Games are in tonight's game. There is a God.
