Weird one - a defensive OSU team vs a BIGGGG offense OSU team.  2015's offense wasn't great, especially the passing game, for a Meyer attack.  But the defense was great.  
2021's  offense was bananas.  But the defense was kind of a poop salad.  


I guess I have to go with defense here.  But the 19 TD to 9 INT ratio Barrett and Jones put up wasn't fun.

I guess 2015. I'd rather be deeply unexplosive, but mostly efficent on offense, as compared to kind of a mess on defense.

I voted 2015 because I think if they played 10 times, that one would be more likely to win 6+ but man, in a one off this is anyone's game. 2021 could put up 50 even on a D that good so you never know
