Ohio State are they for real? (Chime in B1GTide)

Tide&True · Oct 13, 2019

I don’t watch them too much but now they are being listed in the top four. I don’t see anyone challenging them the rest of the way in their regular season schedule (except maybe Wisconsin). So, they will probably remain in the top four).

We will know in a couple of weeks.

My opinion.........more so than previous years. Justin Fields adds that missing dimension that they have needed. Kirby screwed up badly letting him get away.
I think Wisky is the real deal as well.

Yes says all the major computers, AP and Coaches poll.

Well....

1) There REALLY is an Ohio State
2) and the Buckeyes do play football there

So yeah - they're for real in that they exist.

I think the jury is still out simply because the opposition has not been all that good.

But they ARE a good team, yes.

Great? Let's wait and see.

B1GTide · Oct 13, 2019

We have the most complete team that we have had since 2014, but zero depth. I have no idea what we will look like if challenged for an entire game.

GrayTide · Oct 13, 2019

Not sure we know yet, but we will get a pretty good read on 10/26 in Madison. Not sold on Wisconsin. This is for B1G, if you have any pull in the athletic department, please tell them to burn the black unis.

Justin Fields seems to be doing well.

They look really really good.

They could beat anyone they play...so could 3 or so other teams.

Can't believe that we stole him from GA. With the loss of Burrow, I thought we were in trouble. Tate was just too small to play in our offense.

PA Tide Fan · Oct 13, 2019

Ohio State is for real. I think they have an undefeated regular season, win the B1G championship and go to the playoff. Michigan does not appear to be a threat to them. They still have to play Wisconsin (perhaps twice) but they've won 9 of the last 10 against Wisconsin and have the same advantage they've always had against Wisconsin and that is team speed.

Fields fits Ohio State’s offense better. If Kirby was going to stay current with the times he might have had a shot at Georgia.

Of course anything can happen, but I agree history says the Badgers are too slow to play fast ball. Plus they have not faced any QB like Fields or a RB like Dobbins.

ETA: They still have Penn State but that is in Columbus IIRC

history always shows that one game a year tOSU lays an egg. Sometimes they overcome it. But sometimes they don’t. When do they lay the egg? And against who? That (to me) is the curiosity

That was a Meyer thing - he is gone.

That is my thinking as well. The new guy may not have that problem.

RollTide_HTTR · Oct 15, 2019

They definitely look like they are. Fields is working out nicely and they have arguably the best pass rusher and best CB in college football. I honestly hope they choke (sorry B1G) because I don't really want to play them.

owenfieldreams · Oct 15, 2019

I think they are a lock for the playoff. Wisc. does not have the team speed on either side of the ball to stay with the Buckeyes and they get PSU @ home. MICH., even in Ann Arbor is absolutely going to get boat raced. They will have to beat Wisc. twice but I think they are simply too strong for the Badgers.

I tend to agree. Because not only did they always drop one they shouldn't have, but they would also look disinterested in a few other games as well. That has not happened so far this year.

4 shutouts through 6 games is pretty hard to do.
