The win at Ohio State, was just luck. Think about it. The rushing game sucked. The QB passing was just so, so.Ohio State had 14 points at the half. Then Oregon allowed them 14 points in the last 4 miniuts of thr game. The win was a combination of their poor quarterback, and luck on our part..

I dunno about that. I predicted Oregon would beat both USC and tOSU due to the Oregon players getting up for the games. On the other hand the front runnery nature of this current team might mean they will struggle against far less talent and infuriate us. Then we have the Raiola coaster to make us pucker up.

oregold, I will refrain from writing what I was thinking in response to you, since I have to follow my own rules. Watch some of the analysis videos at the top to understand what Oregon did right, or....are you just trying to troll us?

Seriously? What kind of troll are you? Ohio State scored two garbage-time TDs after the game was basically over.

Both teams were playing backup QBs.

How does luck play into Ohio State playing bad defense two games in a row, whiffing on tackles against SC and Oregon?

COME ON, MAN!

I'm not biting.

I'll just say it's never as good or as bad as it looks.

Certainly Ohio State missed two easy game changing picks on Dylan, and their QB made some inopportune mistakes, but 4 turnover on downs is no fluke. Our starting defense owned them for most of the game once we settled in.

Their defense is who we thought they were, no pass rush, but very stout up the middle against the run. The lack of pass rush let Dylan get very comfortable, which allowed us to survive getting behind the count on no gain runs up the middle.

Is what it all is. Happy trolling to you.

One person's "luck," is another's "domination."

OSU dropping INTs could be called luck.

The rest of it was Oregon having a great plan and executing it. And OSU failing to execute.

I actually believe the Buckeyes have lost their swagger. Losing Julian Sayin was huge. I believe the coaches, and eventually the players realized they don't have a QB that can handle very good teams. It looked like Ohio State was expecting more Zone Read. They sure lined up as if that is what they were expecting.

The real test of this offense-and whether Johnson has the chops to handle elite defenses-is this week. Michigan is more physical than everyone OBD faced. Including UCLA (though the Bruins are improving and look better than Indiana at this point). Yes, this is the week we get to see how OBD handle a team that has a playoff caliber defense. Or at least one of the best defenses in the country (yes, better than most SEC defenses).

At the very least, better than Oklahoma's defense. 😁
