StatePenn scored more points this year than SC, and the Big Ten is leaps and bounds better than the Pac Ten.

Naysayer
To comment on this years Fiesta Bowl is quite a paradox for me. I think that Ohio State has an opportunity to show it belongs among the elite teams in football. I think the opponent is a great Texas team that in my opinion deserves to compete for the national championship. That is not to say that Oklahoma or Florida do not. For the first time in years, I think that a playoff of four teams max or a "plus one" would be the best way to decide. But then what if #5 doesnt make the playoffs and is really the team that would win the head to head playoff. (Oh Texas did that and isnt in the National Championship game)
I have a sick feeling about this game. Texas has something to prove and is a very very good team. Ohio State has not shown themselves to be the team we expected and sadly to say they do not show themselves to be among the elite. But still, they are my team and I will root for them no matter what. Go Bucks! ![]() ![]() |

But if Beanie is back to full strength and the Bucks can get a receiver or two open on a deep route it could turn into a shoot out. |

Funny how everyone remembers Hamby's drop and not the two missed tackles in the end zone that would have caused a safety or Tress's decision to go for a 50 yard field goal after his punter had been putting Texas behind their own 20 the entire 2nd half. VY at mid-field with 4 minutes to work and suddenly their offense came alive again.

I honestly don't know if Ohio State can hang with Texas. The shoe is on the other foot, with the freshman quarterback, from last time. They are an excellent football team. On the other hand, they have not faced a defense like ours. So, pick 'em.
Here is what I do know. The Buckeyes play better when they are not favored. Jim Tressel and his coaches will regain their reputation for big game coaching. I am optimistic. |
