ROSE BOWL OHIO STATE Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks

[F-4 Phantom]

The Bucks will win this game and start the road back to gaining "NATIONAL" respectability.

Back to gaining national respectablity......This is The Ohio State University........They never left.....People love to rag on them, but they all would love to have gone to TOSU...............GO BUCKS!!............

[F-4 Phantom]

The arrogance of it all! That's part of the BUCK's problems! PART!

[Omega]

Do not mean to rag on the Bucks, they are a solid defensive team and are definitely a top twenty five caliber squad.

The difference between OSU and the Ducks is that Oregon will play to win, OSU will play not to lose. The latter works in the Big Ten, not elsewhere.

[frank-n-beans]

Omega has it right. Big 10 was 1 step above the MAC this year. Ducks by a bunch.

[Bleeding Red]

The deciding factors in this game:

1.) OSU's O line
2.) Pryor making solid decisions and using his legs as much as his arm.

Either one of these fail, OSU will struggle to stay in the game. Both of these hold up, OSU wins by 10!

JT says he is going to "Unleash" Terrelle Pryor. Any Thoughts?

[seofan_via_dublin]

Depends on how long that leash is.

Also, it's been reported that Rob Rose (sr D-Lineman) and Derron Carter are both ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl.

[seofan_via_dublin]

Not that either one would have made a game changing impact.

The Pac 10 stopped being one of the powerhouse confrences when Don James stepped down at UW. The confrence as a whole (other than USC) has slid since then.

WestSider, don't take this personally, it's not meant as a knock on you.

To say that "this is why Ohio State will win", is complete hogwash.

The Buckeyes will win, because somebody living in their mom's basement in cleveland has video footage of the 2003 National Title
game and highlights of buckeye defensive plays against Minnesota (BAD) Illinois (BAD) Michigan (BAD) and Penn St (Highly Over-Rated)

I'm of the opinion that the Buckeye win the Rose Bowl, but absolutely nothing in that video gave me any hope that might
views are correct.

We can do the Hive as a pregame warmup run out, we can play great defense against crappy teams, and Oregon plays against teams that refuse to tackle.

That is all that the posted video shows.

that is your opinion and it is a great one at that but I think the Silver Bullet Defense will be stiffling against Oregon. They will hold Oregon to less than 25 points and will have a great oppurtunity to win this game. Here is some footage of the great Silver Bullet Defense. Enjoy!

That statement is one that I can agree with, and is one that I see as solid fact.

The best defense Oregon saw all year wasn't 1/2 of what they will get in the Rose Bowl.

When the Buckeyes tackle, they make sure you go down, no "Hit Stick" mistakes, they wrap up and bring you down.
When watching Oregon Offensive highlights, stop watching the Ducks offense, and watch the poor tackling by everyone they play.

[west siders]

good point SEOFAN_VIA_DUBLIN. Here are some good examples of the poor tackling Oregon has seen.

After watching Oregon State get dismantled by BYU I don't think game will be close.
