Early line TX - Ohio St TX + 6.5

[EDT]

I think we play better as an underdog a lot of times. TX certainly needs to bring their A game to the Cotton Bowl.

Not a big surprise to see the Bucks favored, based on yesterday's performances. The Horns will certainly have to run the football better than they did yesterday. OSU was firing on all cylinders against Oregon, and their defense was very impressive.

 

[El Sapo]

I watched both games yesterday and was expecting to wake up to Ohio St -9 as the early line. Our playoff run ends against these guys unless we play much, much, better on offense.

Footage found of the recap of Ohio St.'s last two games.

I never want my money on one side and my heart on the other; otherwise I'd have been all over that -4 1/2 opener.

Ohio State looks very solid. They're strong in the trenches. I think our D-front generally beats their OL, and (unfortunately) their D-front generally beats our OL--prove me wrong lads!

But it will be a mash-em-up black and blue bruiser of a game. We're every bit as tough and strong in the trenches as the Big 10 teams. Look what we did to Michigan, and how Michigan played Ohio State.

Can we borrow Michigan's DC for the week?

Paid "consultant" of course

How about a game tape with “commentary”?

Ok, but their pass offense seems top tier.
If we dont rattle their qb so that he has hard time getting the ball to their future pro receivers, especially smith, then they will certainly out score us and our anemic offense.

Sark better have his big boy play-calling pants on cause i dont think we can slow their receivers enuff and their rb is no slouch.

We ain’t ever gonna win

Only if it has Polish subtitles

I didn’t realize until recently that Joe Namath came from an Eastern European community in western PA.

Have they said which conference the officials will be from. If it's from the Island of unwanted teams, we will have an even tougher time.

Watch it be Alvarez from Phoenix

How about our defense? I don’t give them an A for their performance against asu. They let asu come back from 16 down in the 4th quarter to send the game into overtime. Our O pulled away and the defense couldn’t hold the lead. That’s unacceptable.

Sark: Texas foe Ohio State 'best team' in football

Texas will face Ohio State in the CFP semifinals, but Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian says its the Buckeyes who are the "best team in college football."

I follow the lines rather closely and one of the interesting anomalies is that while OSU is -6.5 vs Texas, the win "probability" currently stands at Texas 51% - OSU 49%

Take that for what its worth but thought it was interesting...
