OT: Buckeyes-Trojans

Talk about contrast -- Barkley is a traditional pro style quarterback with a big arm and perfect mechanics. Pryor's mechanics are a mess but he's a scary athlete.Doesn't that sound ALOT like Young vrs Leinart? Here's the intrigue for OSU fans though: THIS version of VY is playing USC at Columbus with the MIND of Jim Tressell. If Tresell's DC (and defense) can make the occasional stop like Texas did to USC - Pryor can win the shootout. Big IF but you bet I'll be watching.

Already a crazy day for the Big Ten: Michigan State can't field an onside kick and loses on a last second field goal to Central Michigan; Wisconsin comes from behind and beats Fresno State in double overtime.
Hopefully, the Michigan and OSU games will be just as exciting.
-
OSU during the Tressel era is pretty simple to understand: Well coached defense/ST, undercoached offense(I am not talking about playcalling, just the general coaching itself with Bollman isn't good), excellent focus.
Sadly, the latter has fallen in bigger games. The only time OSU has had a really good offense was during the Troy Smith era which was totally thanks to Troy.
USC is a very physically mature team. They don't have the talent they did in past years, but well enough to put up another 11-12 game winning season.
The key is for OSU not to get physically beaten by USC. Then they must improve their focus to win the game in the 4th quarter.

Buckeyes slaughter the highly overrated scrubs from USC. A national TV embarrassment that shall haunt them for decades.
OSU 47
USC 3
-
OSU 24-21 I all depends upon Pryor. If he is productive and helps keep USC off the field OSU has a chance.

GO BUCKEYES!

Wow. Nice hit by Taylor Mays.
-
Nice breakdown by Herbstreit of Mays' mistake. Physically, he's the ideal safety, but he doesn't consistently play up to his potential.

Mays is all hype, no substance, yet people thought he was a top 5 pick. He should have left.

Wow, RIP downplaying yet another player. I don't think I've ever heard you speak positively of any player or team since you started posting here. I guess that's a nice easy place to stay....on naysayer island....I am not saying Mays is trash, but he isn't a done deal All-pro saftey like many think. He is a first round saftey that you hope developes.
-
Mays took over the Cal game last year.
Just needs to play like that more consistently. Otherwise, he's not a top ten pick...and could end up getting moved to linebacker.
-
Shit, he's hurt.

What do people do with things that have no substance in their lives? Yeah, they usually trash them....I'm not trying to debate you on the merits of whether or not Mays will be a good pro, I'm saying that I've never seen you say a positive thing about any one player or team or anything since you started posting here. You do realize that the majority of people see overly negative people as assholes and generally avoid them.
On the opposite, people don't like players overhyped as the coming of God when they aren't even close. The sides balance out.
