Different leagues. Herbie is the number one pick in the CFB media league.

I know, different players, different teams, but pretty much same coaches and the way they prepare. Wells is a good back, but I like our chances.  |
Yeah? Give em a back up QB and make em 40 point dogs.

Yep! Those darn conference games are tough! [ILLINOY] OOC SC does much better. Should we have beat stanford? Of course! Should OSU have beat illinoy? Of course! But, neither happened.

Standard retort, however the damn illini play us tough. I mean dude. It's Stanford.
I realize Arkansas was held in check, but do you honestly want to compare their defense to ours? There's no way you'll pull that 4 tds in 8 plays on the bucks. Jones fumbled three times, they threw 2 int's, and Mcfadden was hurt (9 carries). If OSU gives you those breaks (turnovers), including an injured Beanie, I don't see how we can win.
Now on the other hand, you have a somewhat mobile Pro Style QB that has virtually no big game experience. USC has not played a defense like this in the PAC-10 virtually ever, and they've got a green QB to boot? I really like our chances against your offense.

The last three OOC games we lost were to that year's NC team. Before that, you have to go all the way back to Tressel's first year losses to SCar and UCLA, which we could have won if we didn't have the worst QB in the history of the universe (I'm still [censored]ed about the UCLA game). USC's OOC sched is more respectable than most top school's, but you can't compete with our last three seasons. Also, Illinois placed second in the conference last year, The Cardinal was two wins short of being bowl elligible.
