I have not bet Ohio State all year, and really only ever take them unless they are in a dog role. I never lay more than 7 on a team and they have been big favs all year again. The team has been hit with some type of virus in Florida. Over a dozen kids have been sick this week including braxton miller. They lose 3 more starters off the defense for this game. Best defensive lineman soph DE Spence and 2 dbs ( starting 2 more new freshman in the secondary). Not to mention most of the defense is made up of freshman and sophmores.

Early thoughts were playing the over, but now really starting to like Clemson.

Any thoughts?

i am in ohio and locals always pump up the numbers, hoping to catch a 4 or 5.. may still play the over because osu will score, just dont think they will score as much as clemson.

I don't know what to expect from them. They will need to be well coached and motivated to win this game.

D backs should be 1st. Kerry Combs is a high school coach that Urban knew.

Clemson, OSU pass defense average at best, ithink Watkins has a big game, also read where food poisoning or the flu has hit OSU, over a dozen players got it, including some starters

My only concern with taking Clemson is that I can't remember the last time they won a big game.

The total has gone up 2 points since yesterday morning. I hate chasing like that. Depending on a bowl team to score at least 40 to get an over is always dicey, IMO

OSU has almost given up 2,000 yards in the past 4 games. Absolutely getting scorched on D. Now you take Spence out of the equation. They better be prepared on offense to score 40+ because they aren't going to stop this Clemson O.

Osu a team with great expectations was upset in their conf champ game, now favored in a bcs game, playing a traditional football power off a disappointing season.


sound familiar

Who's the better coach?? You have to give the coaching edge to Urban IMO....I think they roll up on CLEM tonight by 10....BOL everyone.

I like Clemson in this game .. took the 3 awhile back.. Beating LSU last year in the bowl game convinced me this team can win big games.. I don't see Ohio St stopping Clemson's offense....
