O$U isn't that good

since there is a "sparty isn't that good thread" I thought this would be a fun thread to add.


here is an interesting bit of info:   ...Through three games, Ohio State has outscored Virginia Tech, Hawaii and NIU in the first half by just 11 points and has put up a total of 38 first-half points...

if MICHIGAN fans are concerned about our TOs, O$U has a total of 8 compared to MICHIGAN's 6 through the first three games.


Plus they have two QBs that aren't looking all that great at the moment. Bottom line is they are failing the eye test which is really what the playoff committee is all about.

I agree they are limping but the same could be said of last year and we all know how that ended. My Buckeye freinds are blaming their performance on the loss of Herman. It will be interesting to see if they figure it out.

P.S. Northern Illinois is no joke.

I agree that N Illinois is a lot better than most think and I also agree that Herman is a hell of a coach.

IMO, if UM and O$U played tomorrow (at the big house) it would be toss up game and side note: our special teams are far and away much much better at this point. In fact it's not even close.

bottom line O$U is limping out of the gate right now and I think UM would have a real shot at beating them right now.

I admit that will all probably change as the season goes on. O$U is clearly the more talented, tested team.
