One thing that comes to mind is offensive tempo. When the Buckeyes run the no huddle and go, it’s damn near impossible to stop especially when CJ is in the zone. WR’s also go to Buckeyes. I like CJ over Bennett as well. Tennessee runs one of the fastest tempo’s in CFP. Georgia throttled them so I’m guessing OSU won’t surprise them with Tempo. I’ll take Bennett over Stroud. Cj is no doubt more physically gifted but Bennet is tougher and a proven champion. wow.. with that kind of insight, buckeyes might as well not even show up.

If CJ was on Georgias team last year do they win a NC?? Because calling Bennett the proven champion isn’t really to hard with the defense Georgia had last year.

I agree in principle, but Bennett now has the benefit of having played in the title game against a damn good opponent. Your point about the UGA defense is spot on. How many guys were drafted off of that defense, like 8? What does concern me is the OSU secondary, especially the corners. Georgia still has physical kids, probably more physical than Michigan's, on the offensive line so imo the Buckeyes will need to do something scheme-wise to counteract the Georgia running game that I haven't seen.

By the looks of Skins intel, Bennett is probably a top 5 draft pick.

Yes, Georgia's defense was on the of the best ever in college football in 2021 but as a walk on 4th stringer who had a chip on his shoulder nobody expected him to be doing what he is doing (maybe Kirby Smart). Yeah, Stroud has all the intangibles for the NFL but that has nothing to do with the QB matchup in an NCAA game. It's been proven take Stroud off of his spot that he is a different QB and doesn't like pressure opposite of say Fields. OSU/Georgia will come down to OSU's secondary which was poor against Michigan, Maryland and even Penn State.

The key for Ohio State is the front 7 need to bring it, and make things more advantageous and less stressfull for the secondary. I think we are going to see a much more aggressive attitude against the dawgs.

Good defense starts up front and the Buckeyes have the talent to accomplish some things on that side of the ball.

Being much more aggressive is a low bar for OSU if we are measuring them by the sorry aggression they showed against Xichigan. He said they need to be more aggressive and I’m agreeing and saying that won’t be hard given the last game.

Not being rude, but I’m well aware of Bennetts rise to stardom. He is a tremendous QB, I think what sets him apart from Stroud is his willingness to run. Stroud has everything else and honestly yes with the team Georgia had last year, plug several QB’s in there and they still win, including soft CJ. Hell Georgia could have won by even more with a better overall QB.

One thing about the Buckeyes is they don’t lack talent. At this point without talent, you just aren’t making any moves. They have the dudes, it’s just do they have the passion and drive. Many things are lining up like 2014 and I hope 2022 is a year they blaze their own path into history.

LSU threw for 500 yards on Georgia, Buckeyes might just have to air it out the whole game.

The thing is if Georgia is the so on called best team right now in college football, if the Buckeyes upset them in Atlanta, would they be favored over a Michigan team who beat them at home?

Other sports play a series for a reason. On any given day none of these teams would win their matchup 100% of the time. If OSU and Georgia played 10 times OSU would win some. Unfortunately football is too hard on the players to play that many games. I’d say in 10 games OSU beats Xichigan more that half the time. We’re talking about kids not professionals. A couple stay up too late playing video games. One has a girlfriend break up with them. A couple drink a few beers a couple of nights before the game. It affects the outcome. I believe OSU can beat Georgia. I think TCU could beat Xichigan. Number 5-10 could beat all four in the playoffs on a given day. It’s on the adults in the room to prepare them, motivate them, and impart in them the importance of the game.

That’s a great question. How does Vegas handle that possible outcome. I think even Michigan fans can admit Georgia is the better team between the two and if the Buckeyes pull out the “W” I could see something in the ball park of 3-6.5 point spread in favor of the Buckeyes. I don’t even want to think about that though. Also listening to 97.1 the fan they were checking the most watched games of the year and “The Game” was a solid #1. I think that says a lot about the rivalry.

It's all sitting right there for the taking. Ryan Day needs to man up over this month and stop being a sissy boy with his "Just for Men" beard. Real men run the rock, real men let the gray show in their beard and not color it like some Metrosexual. Ryan Day is a sissy boy. New Hampshire bread sissy boy.
Ohio State can beat Georgia, but will Ryan Day have them ready to play like men. I doubt it. I'm expecting Ryan Day to NOT have them ready. (38-16 Georgia cuz we are Charmin Soft in the redzone and have to pass, then resort to FG's instead of punching it in on the ground like men.)
If Ohio State gets by Georgia (talent wise we are equal or superior) it will be Ryan Day's best opportunity to beat Michigan. There will be no 6 weeks of lead up knowing that the matchup is coming so that he pee's down his leg John Cooper style. It will be a quick 1 week turn around, better for Day.
Ryan Day will NEVER beat Michigan in the game 12 matchup ever again (He no longer has a team full of Urban Meyer coached players). I think he could pull it off in the National Champ game (I give him 70% odds of defeating Michigan in the Champ game if he gets there). But he doesn't have what it takes as a coach to beat them on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I will shut my mouth for 3 years about firing Day if he wins the National Championship over Michigan. But in those 3 years he will have 3 more "Saturday after Thanksgiving" losses so I will have to reappear and call for him to be fired. He's making $9 million a year. He's not getting paid that money to lose to Michigan every year in THE GAME.

Nobody really has a feel for what's about to transpire. This game has a strong potential to land in the 'epic' category. If it get's categorized as such, the Buckeyes came to play what they are capable of, but have not shown, to date.

I don't feel good about this matchup. Of course I even felt worse about the U of Miami game and the Alabama game. AND felt really good about the Florida game. That's why I NEVER place bets on teams I'm a fan of.
