Similarities to Johnny Football,between the lines that is
Brett Favre might be a better comparison.  He's not as big as Favre, but he plays like him.  Manziel was a better runner but a weaker passer than Mayfield.

I think I'll just leave this one here...


https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/wisconsin-ohio-state-shoot-for-cfp-berth-112817


No Big Ten team has made more trips to the championship game than the Badgers’ five, including three of the past four years, but they’re still looking for their first win.


Ummm...

Holy crap. And this is on Fox - co-owner of the B1G Television Conference and the network that has covered the CCG from day one...

Yeah, that's pretty funny. 
Just for the record... 
PSU 1-0
MSU 2-1
Wisconsin 2-2
OSU 1-1
Nebraska 0-1
Iowa 0-1
Wisconsin and MSU are killin' it. 
The Helmet 4 aren't doing so hot.

He shredded you guys in your house at night. Shredded Auburn's defense in that bowl game last year. Don't think it really matters who he plays or who he plays with. He lost a lot of guys off that offense from last year. Played maybe even better. He is just that good. Makes everyone he plays with better. Has an NFL arm. Is very smart and extremely accurate. Needs to grow up- don't like how he acts- but man- he is special. He is legit as hell.

Who really knows? 
He clearly has the talent. Much better passer than Manziel could ever dream of being. Mayfield can absolutely play in the NFL. He has the pure talent. Unfortunately I think he might have a similar type personality.
Character + personality/temperament far more important at that position in the NFL than talent.

Given we're all guessing which OSU team shows up, I'll guess OSU 31  Wisconsin 17, and something to give the CFP folks fits.

I have a hard time seeing Wisconsin's D give up 31. If OSU scores 31 it'll be with some defense/ST's help. I think Wisconsin's D are pretty damn legit, one of the top D units in the country. I think it's going to be a low scoring dog fight. Starting to lean towards Wisconsin. Not a big believer in Hornibrook. I think he can pull it off though but he has to take care of the football though. He turns it over more than once, Wisconsin loses. He stays at 1 to none- they have a great shot.

if it is, then I like the Badgers chances. I think the Buckeyes need to make it more track meet, less grind it out. not many teams grind it out better than the Badgers.

I have a funny feeling that UW is going to come out throwing the ball to get rid of that 8 man front.

While Ohio State has not run anything close to an 8 man front ( except maybe a couple times in a specific down and distance situations of course), they have had a stop the run focus in most games. So, I think you are right....get that passing game going early so they don’t crowd the line of scrimmage.   I expect both teams to do that.
I just think Wisconsin is better equipped to be balanced on defense.  They have just been insanely good at not giving up big plays or letting teams score.  
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

and Ohio State has given up a lot of Big plays, due mostly to poor LB play

I think I would pick a score like 35-31 Wisconsin.  I'm not at all confident in OSU's defense, but Wisconsin hasn't really played a team that can attack all over the field like OSU can.  OSU's best chance is scoring quickly and getting Wiscy in a lot of passing situations.  It could go wide for OSU if they do that, but I'm not confident about it.

JT had knee surgery apparently. No real details on what kind of knee surgery exactly. Cleared for the CCG game though and expected to start. Could be a small little edge for Wisconsin if his knee is really bothering him and he's not able to make the quick cuts in the run game that make him such an effective runner. JT not the fastest guy in a straight line, always felt like it was his decision making in the read option run game, ability to fall forward for an extra yard or two, and his ability to make defenders miss was what made him such an effective runner. Never had that crazy top end speed like a Denard or Pryor, but he didn't need it. If he had that kind of speed- well he's already really damn great- he'd have been just ridiculous.

If he's hobbled up and can't really run effectively, that's an advantage for Wisconsin.
