I think Ohio State covers. I really do. In most big games, the two teams just feel each other out and play even the first quarter. So is USC really 10 points better than them in 3 quarters? Add that to USC not having a "3-point" home field advantage. Their stadium is like playing on a neutral field most games. There is little noise most of the time. Just ask Stanford.
p.s. what is the over/under? I'd bet it will be under, no matter what the number is, b/c both teams have great defenses.
I think Ohio State has a great defense, against power teams, but they won't be able to keep up with USC.
i'm shocked and stunned. Whatever happened to LSU fans thinking USC couldn't beat anyone outside of the West Coast? LSU fans have evolved and I am proud of you all here. :grin:
For Vegas sake, its home field to them. It sure aint Columbus. I think they cover as well. This game wont be high scoring at all. tOSU secondary is better than most folks would admit to, dont look for Sanchez to pad his hesiman campaign. Id say 13-7. USC
We want to geaux undefeated and finally get to play them in the BCSNCG... And, Mastermind, I would be shocked if the score were 13-7.
Neither team wants to be embarrased so they will be in the prevent the whole game (both teams) USC already plays that dreaded cover 2 with good man to man DBs which is crazy to me as it is. So 13-7 tOSU will drop only about 6 spots to like 13# in the polls. Then they will crown USC the champions of the world after their 2nd game. my prediction:hihi:
USC will score less points on OSU than Ohio did? I'm thinking.....no. USC 34, OSU 13. Ten of those OSU points in the second half.
