I do think they are overrated due to their fast paced offense that makes game seem not as close as it should. fSU played them good for almost 3 qtrs and FSU isn't anything special. Who did Oregon really beat? MSU is it at home. We beat them on the road. They crushed Arizona in conference game. Yet, Arizona lost to Boise.
Im surprised that I didn't read anything about how FSU attacked the Oregon linebackers in the pass game. I think that will be something to watch in this game.
I'm reading a lot of "run the ball down their throats" "dominate time of possession" "we're bigger/stronger" "Oregon gave up 500+ yards to FSU" blah, blah, blah.

One thing I've noticed is that at the beginning of the year OSU tried to equate new starters on the OL to replacing injured starters in an apples to oranges comparison. Obviously there has been a full season of play now and nobody is a new starter, but I don't think they're going to find it as easy to run against us as they might think. A review of the 3 playoff games when its all over is going to find that Oregon played the best on both sides of the LOS.
I do think that Ohio State will be the best team the Ducks will face this year. It is scary how good they are playing without one of their Heisman QBs at the Helm. I think they will be everyone's number 1 preseason pick next year.

I'm already reading a lot of "teams play very similar". Even if it's a wash for skill players, MM
8 is >>>>CH12 right now.
Our D is also just As athletic, it was our gameplan to give up 500yds to FSU (effectively). We stopped them in the red zone and on 4th and short, twice. Our DL played great
I used to do a lot of business in Seattle and got to know quite a few UW alums, and to a person, they say Oregon fan is hokeing intolerable and act like college football didn't exist before Daddy Phil bought them a program. I think they're pretty universally loathed around the PAC and Northwest.
Maybe I should stroll through Ann Arbor to find out what Buckeye fans are like.
Seriously, Buckeye fans that are reading this thread, do you think a bunch of Michigan fans would give high praise about Buckeye fans?
Loss11ngton is our most hated rival, you do the math.
y'all are never going to let that one go
