They will run it up if given even the slightest chance.
I believe Tress will have us ready. But, it will be a classic show down.

The difference is that tOSU doesnt have to fully focus on the 2 opponents prior to uscUM to beat them easily(YSU/OHIO). So the entire off-season can go to prep for uscUM. On the other hand uscUM has to prepare all off season to fly across america and play a very good Virginia team that could beat uscUM if things go right. I think the extra week they get won't make up for the entire off-season of prep the bucks will be able to lean on, plus the experiences of extreme hostile environments and west coast trips(Tex 06, PSU 07, wash 07, LSU 07) will help their cause. Not to mention that ESPN will help make the bucks 7 point to 10 point dogs.
