'Course, if you played SEC offenses week in and week out your be better able to tweek your D, just like if we played the Big-10 for a season - we'd get better at defensing your strengths. You going with the Pistol seems like y'all are thinking that way too.

Michigan State and Northwestern have run the spread for years before this and Ohio State has only lost to them a scant few times (and it usually wasn't because of the spread itself).....
Out of the biggest tests on that list (Auburn, UGA and Florida) only Florida has the type of offense that Ohio State has struggled with. UGA is more like Ohio State than anyone from the SEC would like to admit and Auburn is putting a new QB in place.
That said, at worst Ohio State goes 10-2 with that schedule.
