So who you got ?

[Catslash]

In the interest of marital bliss I have to go with Alabama

 

[Williesfan]

I think that Alabama will exploit dOSU secondary to come away with the win. Albeit would be hard to lay 8 points.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Alabama scores a ton on this defense. Cover.

 

[its_the_sauce]

Saints

 

[Deeringfish]

I'll be cheering for OSU. If they win it reflects well on the B1G and NU as we gave them a good game. Also I have some respect fo Fields who as far as I know is a pretty upstanding and intelligent guy.

 

[JoeWildcat]

I wouldn’t bet on OSU, but I hope they win by at least 13.

 

[Capiche]

Two defensive lineman, both starters, DT Tommy Toigai and DE Tyreke Smith are both out due to COVID. Toigai is a real force inside stopping the run. Hopefully we get back DEs Zach Harrison and Tyler Friday who both missed the Clemson game. Friday might be able to move inside to provide a little depth at DT. The offense is going to have to win this game with the defense playing a bend but not break approach, eliminating big plays and coming up with key stops, especially in the red zone.

Missing key DL in big games sucks.

Hope you guys Roll Bama.

Big 10 pride. Go Ohio State

 

[EvanstonCat]

This sucks. There is a small part of me that wants to root for dOSU because a dominant win will make us look better and perhaps help us into the top 10. And the SEC and all that.

But, damn. It's Ohio State. I just can't.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I think The Bama takes it 34-28

 

[RevCat]

Hard to admit, but I have to root for OSU. The SEC is a cess pool of fraud, money, and serious cheating. Cannot justify being for the former segregationists who supported loyally the Orange Stain. Hypocrisy.

Not sure why politics has to be part of this, but I see you know nothing about Ohio then.

 

[JordanClark]

Alabama 31 vs Ohio St. 17

i am rooting for OSU and the Big Ten all the way.

This isn't the rant board, and I hate to break it to you, but I see as many Confederate flags in the rural North as I do the South. It's completely nonsensical given so many of those Northerners probably count Union soldiers in their ancestry, but who knows anymore. No political issue is as simple as red/blue or North/South anymore.


As for who's going to win this game. I just feel like Ohio State is going to be short-handed, and that's enough of a difference. If they play as well as they did against Clemson, yeah they can win, but hard to know if they have another near perfect game in them.

 

[NUCat320]

Alabama wins and the margin won’t be in doubt in the fourth quarter.

I’d really enjoy seeing Alabama lose, probably more than I’d enjoy seeing Ohio State lose.

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Alabama will be favored, but the Tide secondary isn't all that rock solid, either. Florida, which lost because of lousy defense, was able to put up quite a few points on them. I doubt the Tide's defense is a helluva lot better than Clemson's.

 

[Figrating]

If duh-OSU comes up with a game like they played against Clemson, they'll win.

I've got E-Cat's dilemma, too - how can you hope for a winner between two of the most hate-worthy teams that just dominate recruiting, that you always want to lose but they so rarely do? As he observes, there's something for NU to gain with a duh-OSU W, yet his resentment is so total he can't make the pro NU decision. I respect that, but I love NU more than I despise duh-OSU, so... I think I can say it... I've never said it before and I'll never say it again...GO BUCKEYES!

Bammer will not hold duh-OSU to 22.

 

[BretEpic]

Bama

If I had to bet I'd say the over because I like points

 

[NorthNJCatsfan]

My usual answer to this dilemma : It’s a shame they both can’t lose.

 

[Frabjous_rivals]

Meteor.

 

[CatManTrue]

Haven’t followed this matchup closely / at all. Bama’s favored by 9, but for some reason I think dOSU will pull it off.

 

[Hungry Jack]

A holograph of Lee Corso????

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Fanaticat98]

This is really unfortunate that they lost Sermon in the first play. He was truly the one guy that beat us and to lesser extent Clemson.

 

[Fanaticat98]

I don’t know who OSU is missing (at least 1 DT) but I actually think our D would be doing about the same or better at this point. Don’t get me wrong, they would absolutely overpower us eventually but I think we could hold them for a half.

 

[TheC]

Why on earth does OSU leave Smith so open?? Why aren’t they doubling him?

 

[lunker35]

They need our secondary. Not kidding.

OSU ain’t holding them.

 

[Fanaticat98]

In other news Bama gave up more to OSU in 1.5 quarters than we gave up in 3.5 quarters.

 

[phatcat_rivals223240]

I'll take Bama, give the points and take the over

 

[CatManTrue]

Alabama looked like a team of destiny. Nice effort by the Bucks (only watched the first half).
