Comparing this year's game to last year's is a waste of time IMO. We had just lost our Hiesman RB, didn't have an identity at QB, and our defense was just over-matched.
This year is a whole new story (barring any injuries). We have a clear #1 QB who will have a full year to work on the offensive gameplan, hopefully healthy Boom and Zoom, and a vastly improved D-line (from what I have read). Then throw in the Horseshoe factor....
USC is also a much different team. New defensive stars, Dirty Sanchez is gone...
Not saying we win this game, but this Buckeye team is much different than last year's at the point of the USC game. Any comparisons really are quite silly. I think the game comes down to TP's ability to find receivers and the D-line's ability to pressure the QB. I guess that's what I said throughout ALL of last year, and most of the time, both factors were a source of frustration. Oh well.... new year = new hope.
