From the article posted earlier:
Why it May Not Matter: If Ohio State loses to USC, they will probably take it out on Troy in ugly fashion. While it's true that the Troy played Georgia to within 10 points, it took a touchdown with five seconds left to keep that from being 17. Troy also lost senior QB Omar Haugabrook to graduation and star CB Leodis McKelvin to the NFL draft this offseason.
Ohio State is absolutely loaded on both sides of the ball, so it's a bit much to expect a Sun Belt Conference team to win in the Horseshoe no matter the circumstances.
However, my take on this game and any other so called "trap" game...
tOSU gets every team's best shot...every single team, every single week: this one won't be any different. Don't kid yourselves, this team won't be looking past
anybody, Troy included. They'll play their asses off simply because they're from the middle of SEC country.(Sunbelt Conference but still Alabama)
They only need be reminded of this past January and the chants of S-E-C serenading them in the superdome to put things back in perspective.
No F'n Mercy! Kill em all!!!
