Its not that unusual for them to be this way through the years, helps that few other teams in the conference can even dream of matching the talent the Buckeyes take for granted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took a minute this season to get the run and pass to succeed together, and the OL is not a strength this year, but the offense is not the issue, at all. Haskins is amazing and the WRs have been clutch. They have the same issue as Oklahoma - a brutal defensive scheme. And they make up for it by being very poorly coached.

Sparty was played in cold/wind so they had to run it again, which they actually did against the #1 run D. Yesterday they did both, finally. But all their real issues are on the other side.

Only year it was 3:30 was 1 vs 2 in 2006 for the road trips to Columbus we'd leave at 2 am and get there just in time to grab some last minute tickets, i wasn't aware of the clock those weekends i was there in 2006, must have been my last one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better answer would be to say they need to play their best game, earn it, etc. He was cornered into that answer. But as the favorite, it only fires up osu even more. No one is really giving them a chance nationally yet the weasels have not won here in 18 years. Better shut up until you actually do it. But I love this. give me David Boston vs Charles Woodson!!

YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I think it’s concerning that no Buckeyes have ever experienced a loss to TTUN. Not sure they have the proper perspective. The underdog thing is good, but the rivalry has lost juice on this side for everyone but the fans who lived through the Cooper years.

I wouldn’t doubt that. We needed TTUN to be good again for the rivalry to have the proper meaning but there is still a ways to go. I think the coaches make it a big deal but you have to wonder how much the players feel about it given their constant success. The freshmen on this team weren’t even born before the rivalry turned to OSU dominance. Not so true for the fans older than 30 who have painful memories of the 90s.

TTUN has zero excuses if it flops on the field this year. TTUN should win in a cakewalk on paper. some rivalries keep alive, Leafs and Habs haven't met since 1978 in the playoffs...
