The Buck's against USC should be very interesting. USC rolled! OSU either lapsed into a suspect prevent defense or just really lapsed near the end of the game. They looked shaky all game defense wise and dropped some easy passes. Pryor I hoped had maked the great step forward, but still relied on his great legs too much. I am hoping Tressel as showed last year against Texas sharpens up the gameplan!
Basically,that's what it all comes down to.I've been very unimpressed with OSU's play selection over the past few years.It just seems so uninspired and basic at times.This team really doesn't have that strong power running game that they had the past few years with Beanie Wells,and I'm not too sure that this receiving core can get it done against some of the elite teams.
This next game is certainly going to be a test.While I really don't expect them to win,I just hope that they keep it close and give Penn St. something to think about before their meeting,because it's going to come down to those two teams in the Big 10.
I will say this,Penn State has a really lame duck schedule this year.Aside from them playing Ohio State,the only other game that
might be worth a damn,is next week against Syracuse.Even if they run the table,there's is no way that they will be competing for a national title.On the other hand,I think that there could be a really good chance that Ohio State could get a shot at the title if they beat USC and Penn State.
In all,I think that the Big 10 is screwed,because after OSU got blown out two years in a row,and the conference as a whole,not showing up in their bowl games last year,I'm not to sure that the voters won't do everything that they can to make sure that they aren't in the national title game.
