Why in the world would someone take Texas and 6 points after watching what Ohio State did to Tennessee & Oregon ?
Not to mention how bad Texas looked yesterday.
Granted it is a home game for Texas, but still.

Also that Over/Under seems low.
If Ohio State is on fire they might score 54 all by themselves.
And as good as Ohio State D is, Texas still has some weapons and it isn't like they are getting shut out.

we do have a good defense. OSU isn't going to score 54. I do think the spread is too low. I'm tempted to put money on osu myself at -6.

I think it will be a good game just because it will be tough for OSU to string 3 epic performances back to back.
But no way in hell I would have the balls to tempt fate and take Texas and 6 points after watching them dismantle Vols & Oregon

Our only hope is that being such a huge underdog and not given a chance will light a fire in this team and they'll respond. I don't believe that will be the case but stranger things have happened.

I think Ohio St is better but it might be because neither Oregon or Tennessee are all that great?

I think Texas eeks out the win here, especially if they can just cut down on the penalties.

Because Will "Spill The Pill" Howard is still in there somewhere. We've seen Will "The Thrill" Howard these last 2 games. I'd say the first one is due.

That's hilarious coming from someone that needed OT & an assist from the zebras to beat frigging Arizona State.

The worst part about being a Texas fan is they barely beat teams they're supposed to, or even lose. Then, they will play a good team very well. There is no consistency over the last 15 or so years. I would never bet for or against them for this reason.

Kind of like Oregon fans quoting Chip Kelly's record vs Oregon while he was at UCLA.
As if that has anything to do with him running Ohio State's Offensive Juggernaut

We roll if the OSU that played Michigan shows up.

We are going to get rolled if the OSU that has played these last 2 games shows up.

No, But tOSU also wont have Fields, JSN, Olave Garrett Wilson or Jameson Williams.

That amount of talent and only scoring 24

Day also didn’t have chip Kelly as OC and the nations number one rated defense at the time. In fact I think that defense was dead last. Yuuuge difference

Ahh yes, the Big10 is know for having offensive juggernauts, those stats definitely aren't artificially deflated.
