USC is the play, plain and simple. Don't ask me why I say this, unless you haven't watched the Buckeyes against decent quarterbacks all season. This team is a 4 loss team, without breakdowns from PSU and Michigan. This is only my humble opinion, and I'm not impressed with the Trojans, but the Buckeyes are way overrated. Barrett is going to fuck every OSU ticket wagered.
buckeye fan here and I dont get it either. They have yet to play to their potential, if they do finally after feeling snubbed by committee you will see same results as sparty game tonight. Defensive numbers are solid, offensive not bad, turnovers have killed them and turnover in to points. i believe bucks only team in country to average > 250 rushing and passing pergame, could be a shoot out or a 27-20 game.. no fricking clue. They will harass darnold and if throw int it will be a rout, a lot depends on him i think.
So many resources out there for information but if you look at offensive and defensive YPG averages compared to opponent they are not even close. OSU #3 on O nationally and #10 on D composite total #1 in the country. USC at #16 and #54 composite 22... who do you trust, barret who seems to be 50 years old or darnold. Turnover will have huge factor and will decide imo. I am leaning to the under on this one.

I will also add I am hoping someone takes out JT knee and a weber knee early in game, backup Haskins is a stud with a fram like cardel jones, dobbins is best unheard of back in the country as a 19 year old true freshman, if he gets a lot of touches will see points but meyer again goes with seniority and weber a step below this kid imo... i think anywhere else he would play over jt but meyer gives a lot of weight to seniors if he feels they are close in production ability and these two are not close. only edge barret has is in experience and not sure it helps him much...
