Hoosierfan1901 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 However if OSU somehow drops 1 game and goes 5-1 and we win out at 7-1, then I think we go to the championship game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Herbstreit has said he doesn't believe that will happen due to the 21 day covid rule. Some folks in Columbus think OSU's season might be over. I'm not buying that, but we don't know the facts regarding how many and who has tested positive. I saw more than one posting at Bucknuts saying it was the entire quarterback group along with Day.

jv1972iu Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 OSU AD just released a statement that basically said the Buckeyes may still play MSU next week. Heard Rece Davis on College Gameday quote Gene Smith, but didn't really understand it? Something to do with some of the players and when they were tested, possibly, and that all were isolated etc etc?? OSU and the BIG are going to find a way, I'm sure. Even the CFP committee has said there's no minimum number of games necessary to be considered for inclusion in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm interested in seeing how Mertz will be. He looked amazing in their first game, average against Michigan's weak secondary, and bad against Northwestern. We lead the country in interceptions per game by a wide margin. We're running away from everybody in interception percentage. We're also 18 in the country in sack percentage. I think we can pressure Mertz into making some bad throws. One of my issues the last couple years was that we wouldn't do much with turnovers. We've had some really good returns this year. Reminds me of the Bears when they had Urlacher. As soon as they got the ball, you could see how badly they all wanted to score. Our defense is looking a lot more like that this year. We just need to hang on to the dang thing. If we can get an early lead and make them throw it, I like our chances. If we get behind early and put them in a position to run it a lot, it could be rough. Can't have like we did against OSU where they ran all over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep Wommack through next season, I'll be happy. Anything longer than that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That's why I think it is really important to get out to a quick start and not get behind early. We can't let them sit back and pound away with their run game all day. We have to put pressure on them by getting ahead and make them try to be more aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
