Meanwhile, back on the subject of OU -tOSU:

As I've said on another thread on this board, OSU has speed, talent, and lack of experience. It means game to game, quarter to quarter, play to play, you could get great plays and Oh (pick you expletive).

44 scholarship players have never played an away game in college. That could be a factor.

Regarding The Tulsa game, it was just weird. Although the sun was shining in the first half, it was extremely windy. OSU had bad field position most of the first half which effected some of the offensive calls. The Tulsa offensive line was doing a lot of trap blocking which worked until the coaches were able to make adjustments at half time and it made a difference.

In the first game of the year OSU looked really explosive, last week due to field position in the first half and weather in the second half they played more conservative.

Before the season started I thought OSU would lose. After the first game of the season I thought they might have a chance to win. Now I have no idea. If the Buckeyes play well and are able to utilize the experience to better themselves like they did in the Virginia Tech in 2014, I'd be ok with a loss as a fan.

Like in 2014 if a loss makes them better prepared for a run in the Big 10 for a possible playoff bid, I think most OSU fans would take that.

Have to agree with buckeyes are young talented team.

Watch out next year especially with the a top ranked 2017 class coming......five five stars on board

As far as Oklahoma had this game as loss before the season started.

No I don't know. The key to me will be our defensive line. If we can hold the point of attack we should hold our with talented linebackers and defensive backs

Meyer will call Herman and get the scoop on how Houston ran their offensive

This could be it barret heisman moment if he pulls off a win

Oklahoma 38 Ohio state 35

Well ULM is one thing, but if there are empty seats when Ohio State comes to Norman then that will really be disappointing.
Even after such a letdown in the Houston game, you would think OU fans would pack the stadium for opening season at home and the redone stadium. Just disappointing.

Maybe I need to look at getting tickets and making the drive every weekend now.

Maybe some fans like myself that have to drive 6 hrs and have to pay Special Event Rates at Hotels would rather save the money and time and cramped seating and watch it at home and have all the beer I want

I hear ya man!!! My drive would be about half what yours would be, but we both share the same reasoning in chilling at home with beer and whatever food I can fire up on the grill.

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

Y'all are sounding like T.O.M. now...

I'm almost old enough to agree with you...

 

[soonrs25]

K2C you are thinking of Okudah the 5 star safety that has OU and tOSU as his top schools. He is expected to be there this weekend also along with Wilson (who seems to have OU, ut, FSU, and some SEC schools at the top).

 

[K2C Sooner]

Question for the Buckeye fans...Are you wearing some alternative uniform Saturday? I read it somewhere, but can't find the link. I just don't understand why you just don't show up in your regular white traveling uniforms. Did I read it wrong and if not post a picture............

 

[bcsoonerfan]

JT Barrett scares the crap out of me but I like our chances. Keep it in the hands of Perine, Mixon and Andrews, and JT on the sidelines.

This game, like most between big time teams, will be decided in the trenches.

Thanks. I still like your all white....BTW, I like our all white with crimson helmet.

Forget any Buckeyes posting here. They won't even post on their own board.

(Must see)

That was fun.

 

[nick614]

Ohio State has never lost a game when scoring 35+ points; however, I don't think it'll come to that.

I think OU will have some success early running the ball but will fall behind and then OSU will run away with it when you have to start throwing.

Looking forward to a fun game.

49-16 OSU

 

[R1950]

One more time.
If you're really looking for Buckeye feedback on Saturday's game, stay away from our Rivals free board as it's been dead for a few years now. I quit visiting it 4 or 5 years ago. The one you might want to try is Eleven Warriors (there are others like the O-zone) as I've read a few times that Eleven Warriors is the busiest fan board in the country:

Once on the main page, click on Forum which will take you to the talk/feedback from the fans on the current subjects.

he

I have no doubt he is lurking around and still reading this board. I hear from him from time to time. He's a good dude.

Maybe he gets it. This is a private residence. Or he just thinks it is.

 

[Oklabama]

My board name is so obsolete. I wish I could change it, but I guess I'm stuck with it. I noticed A LOT of empty seats where we used to sit. I wonder who the genius is who decided the stadium would look good on TV with empty sections in the upper northeast corner? I'm sure the Buckeyes will fill it up, but when we play West Guardrail U, it will look bad.

How would go about changing you board name? Start over completely?

You are correct.
It'd be easier to delete the old account and start over.
Of course you lose your post count if that matters to you.

Greetings from Buckeye land! As was said earlier, Eleven Warriors is a great site for Buckeye sports, as is Buckeye Planet...https://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/
Discussion about the OU/tOSU game is under the "Buckeye Football" heading.
As for the game, I think this is going to be a shootout. Our youth and inexperience concerns me. In the off season, I had this figured for a close loss for the Bucks, but now I'll call it a toss-up. Looking forward to a great, clean, injury free game for both teams.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Now, now. Remember how scared we were when we played mighty Alabama..........just saying. Sooners win by small margin.

Yes. I predicted a win then, I predict an OU win now, by 21....

I dunno man, I tend to be more concerned with what we saw 2 weeks ago than what happened 2 years ago.

And TK couldn't hit the broadside of a barn going into that Bama game.

Good game guys, didn't expect Mixon to outrun us on that KO! Good luck the rest of the way, hopefully you guys can rebound and win the Big12. No shame in losing to 2 top 5 teams.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Good luck Buckeyes.

You have bigger tests coming so hope this game helps yall grow up fast.

 

[MeridianOSU]

Did we pass the test?

 

[BillyRay]

Did we pass the test?

As opposed to failing??
