Who was that joker suggesting Wisconsin would easily beat OSU?

OSU is scary good.  They just needs the QB to stay healthy.

I don't know if buckeyecraaazy is still here or not, but she texted me after the LSU/Florida game that she was scared for her Buckeyes to have to play LSU in the playoffs.  I told her--and I quote--"lolz," and also that other than being way premature on winning the division and the conference, if the two played LSU likely didn't have the pass rush to beat a team like Ohio State.  So then this past Saturday I told her OSU was a pretty clear #1 in my book, and she said she's "not convinced."

Sandbagging and/or a healthy inferiority complex must be a Buckeye trait.

This has reality in the title, so that wasn't gonna happen, unless he starts and then you lose Haskins. Which coulda been its own thing.

(Now I'm imagining a world where Burrow starts and has some issues and there's laments about Haskins starting elsewhere and benching J.T.)

Anyway, Fields is more talented than all of 'em.
Problem was in '16 JT was pedestrian but he was surrounded with Guys headed for Sunday.When joe came in the 4th qtr receivers didn't have to stop,lean forward or reach back to catch the ball.Hit them in stride arms extended like your seeing in Baton Rouge.Later on that year Clemson exposed this charade - stacked the line took away everything underneath and watched JT arm punt everything over 25 yds.The following spring Urbz handed the starting QB job to JT - half the fanbase was livid. Burrow had went 22-28 the season before but JT had Meyers Party Picture or something.Haskins was still green,then Burrow broke his thumb,but Haskins mounted a comeback vs Michigan that season and it was obvious JT shouldn't had the gig.Problem was that defensive line over 2 seasons sent 6 guys to the League - they were Bama ready.Urbz affection for JT clouded his judgement and hurt the chance for a program NC.But the dood could recruit

While probably true, Texas A&M and Auburn think this is cute.
I'm sure Auburn is already game-planning for Samford. Shiver me timbers!!

Tell you if tOSU makes CFB PO LSU/Burrow are the scary one IMO.Always liked Joe and him and Haskins shouldn't have been splitting garbage time behind a real nice guy who couldn't make an Arena League Roster.BTW if you still talk to BC - give her instructions to this place.She disappeared and so did Bama Buckeye.

Husker fans have noticed this and agree

the Husker head coach seems to have noticed as well

Oh how soon we forget.  Being the next “ great team” is so fragile, and always ends badly.  

When you play Wisconsin, Penn State, MSU- especially in their better seasons, sometimes Iowa, and always Michigan (if you are OSU), those are games that take a huge physical and emotional toll at the CFB level. 

Penn State, and what I think is a whole new level of a Michigan team, back to back.  That’s going to get The Buckeyes.  One or both of them.  

Michigan was never as bad as they looked and Ohio State is not close to unbeatable.  It’s: what are you capable of?  How well, or how poorly can you play?  

Should make for a crazy stretch run.  
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

That's why I said OSU reminds me of 2018 Bama.

M has looked solid the last 6 qtrs and PSU keeps winning.So they could turn into marquee match ups,unlike previous seasons OSU doesn't have a plan "B" at QB so Fields can't run as aggressively as one would like

In years past Penn State has had superstars on their team (Allen Robinson, Saquon Barkley, etc), but they have always had some deficiencies, too.  This year Penn State doesn't really have any "superstars", but they don't have any deficiencies, either.

Watching OSU is like watching a team full of superstars, and also with no deficiencies.  It is ridiculous.

I'm not saying this in order to make any predictions or talk about the OSU / PSU game.  I'm simply adding to the original post. 

Enjoy it OSU fans.  This is a special team, even by OSU standards.
