Nine from USC and 6 from OSU. He did say that the Offensive line for USC is inexperienced; however, there was no statement throughout his entire discussion that there is really any weakness to the USC team. In truth, he didn't say that tOSU had any glaring weaknesses either; however, the inundation of "recent history" IS playing a huge role. The transitory effect plays a role when people think of tOSU; however, USC doesn't get much of that if at all. |
For every reason you mention, look for Cowherd to totally blow it out of proportion if we win the game by 7 points or more. He will make it look like the biggest sports accomplishment of all time by the time he's done flapping his lips. Don't let his own recent history fool you, he's talked up the Buckeyes and he will do it again. Overstating his case is his stock in trade. In overstating the case for the Trojans, he is setting the table for totally overblowing what the Buckeyes accomplish on September 13th.
Don't get me wrong; I've said before and I'll say again that it will be a huge win. But Colin "how-does-this-asshat-have-a-syndicated-show" Cowherd will make it into something it isn't, both before and after.
