I can't even begin to tell you how freakin excited I am for this game. Last year the game came down to a 4th and 1 stop of Braxton Miller on an option play they hadn't run all year. Urban needs to win a big game at Ohio State. I certainly can't bet it because I think the game is a coin flip. Who makes the special teams plays, who turns the ball over. I do think the Spartans are a little better. I think we have better athletes but are just so young this year. Calling a fg game either way. What do you guys think?
It sounds to me that you are saying MSU doesnt put 4 quarters of football together. Not reassuring to me that the eyeball test supposedly trumps the final score. They didnt cover their two biggest games.
Since you follow, you know MSU has had this problem in a few games. Perhaps they've gotten it fixed the last two games, or perhaps those opponents werent very good. Still remains to be seen, imo
I dont see a lopsided win in this game. Id probably stay the trend MSU 1h, osu game.
tuff spot for the buckeyes imo, still to young in so many places. i think they can keep it close with a chance to win late possibly. much different team than last year. even though qb is a freshman I think he is an improvement over miller. OL young along with most skill. number opened at 2 up to 3.5. if joe p hits sparty hard and it goes to 5 i am on osu probably ml and spread. this has been a series in which the visitor has done well. everyone expecting points it may end up like the last time they played in EL.. low scoring. osu has the athletes to win, problem is experience.. we shall see
What can ya say about ohio state this year they beat who so far only 2 decent teams they played they lost to va tech and got a ot win against pen state I'd def say Spartans have played much tougher opponents , jt Barrett gives up atleast 2 interceptions this game if everyone is so confident in the buckeyes U should be on the moneyline
I'd say that OSU is on its way to predominance in the Big Ten because they are the only program in the conference that consistently attracts 5-star talent. However, in this game, MSU has the distinct advantage with the home field and the more reliable QB. Barrett is serviceable, but nobody can tell me OSU doesn't miss B. Miller. MSU's Conner has turned out to be one of the best QB's that D'Antonio has coached and we all know that MSU is the new Quarterback U. Give me the home team -3. See you next year Bucks.
FlaPimpLeo has Buckeyes as his "Game of the year", so I'm guessing Buckeye's will win by at least a td. I'm being sarcastic btw. I like this Buckeye squad but I totally agree with the homers, they are still young, despite having talented players. I'd like to see them win, but if I had to wager, id prob go with Mich St.
I was at the Big 10 Championship game last year.....it was three different games all in one game. State got up, OSU came back, State won out. Had an awesome time partying with a ton of Buckeye fans that day -- very enjoyable time and game. I am a huge Spartan fan, and I have not bet this game as of now, and typically have a very good feel on Spartan games.....can't say I'm as confident as normal with this one. Regardless, best of luck to everyone with this one!
