Game Thread: Fiesta Bowl: Ohios STate vs Texas

[rolltidescott]

on Fox now.

Does Ohio State have a reasonable shot?

 

[Boclive]

Remember the last time Ohio State played Texas? The 24-7 OSU win at Texas? The Sept. 9th game Colt McCoy's freshman year?

They got after that green freshman quarterback that day. They rode that win all the way to two national championship appearances.

He may not be as easy to rattle this time around.

 

[rolltidescott]

Ohio State not looking too bad early. Mixing run and pass pretty well.

 

[Tide Rev]

I appreciate Muschamp's intensity but the antics on the sideline get a little old when you see them over and over.

 

[LCN]

I do believe OhSt has a shot , just not much of one . I'm thinking TX by 10+ .

 

[BAMAHD]

Texas defense has a lot of speed, 34-27 Texas

 

[NYBamaFan]

OSU up 3-0 early, but we know how little that means... :biggrin:

Yea. I thought about posting a question whether anyone else thought he looks like an idiot on the sidelines...

He looks like he is about to stroke out...

 

[NYBamaFan]

Pryor is a great runner, but he plays soft. He goes out of bounds too early on runs...

 

[rolltidescott]

Pretty good Q1 for tOSU. Already rushed for more yards than Texas normally gives up in a game.

 

[rolltidescott]

Big sack right there on 1st and goal.

Agreed, He does play soft

Stupid? where is this game played at?:conf2:

 

[BigEasyTider]

I'll be honest, this game is looking much closer than I expected it to be. Ohio State is looking pretty good. Maybe the Buckeyes have just gotten it together, or perhaps Texas just is having a bit mental and emotional letdown because they didn't make the title game?

Glendale, Arizona, and more specifically [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Phoenix_Stadium"]University of Phoenix Stadium[/ame], home of the Arizona Cardinals.

OSU is controlling the line of scrimmage. They are running the football almost at will. Texas is in trouble. That's not a run first league.

My son the former O lineman's comment was "he's one of those Big 12 girl QBs like Harrell from Tx Tech..." (did I mention that jr. goes to Ole Miss & we went out to the Cotton Bowl? )

 

[BigEasyTider]

You know, Ohio State would be in a much better shape if Pryor would just finish runs instead of going out of bounds. That has cost them at least three first downs so far. I swear, he's an incredible athlete, but he plays the game like its two-hand touch.

Then I imagine Oklahoma will have a lot of fun trying to stop Tebow when the Gators start trying to run it down their throats.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Texas disappointed + OSU feeling like they have something to prove = upset?

 

[superchief]

tOSU should keep it on the ground. They're O-line is gashing the D line pretty well. I'm not impressed with Big12 defense.
