I think That’s lazy analysis on his part. Maybe 70/30 at worse. Our fans are stoked and we’ve been traveling well for several years now. And You’re seeing a lot of our national fanbase getting off their asses for this one.

I’ll concede the game will have a lot more empties than you’d expect for a matchup like this though because of the TAMU fans buying up and then dumping the tix and the OSU fans probably a little gunshy after doing the 4 game circuit last season, and possibly holding out for the semis/NC.

That game was the last time any team I’ve rooted for in any sport had a chance to be crowned a champion. My disdain for that program runs deeper than FSU & UF. I want this W more than any other win this year other than the championship. I’d stop short of saying I need a win but that would be a lie.

The level of arrogance.

Peewee Football? Setting special teams back decades?

You ******* scored 10 points vs Indiana!!! You go down in that stadium in that environment, with the crazy wind, etc.

Then they have the haul to take a shot at us about the salary cap - what the **** are you paying Jeremiah and others?

******* hate that ******* program! Death to Ohio State! Your days of taking South Florida talent in the way you have in the past are soon over.

I get that it's Day's offense, but why make this announcement if Hartline hasn't been calling the plays this year?

I want Norvell type of success. Enough to stick around for a while to become an embarrassment.

Been saying all year they have major issues on offense

Their defense is every bit as good as ours though

I've been saying the same. We over rate our talent on O. Im not sure how many posters actually watch other teams across the nation's skill positions and offensive schemes/production. We are statistically a middle of the road ACC offense. Now we are playing a fast strong athletic defense. We are not elite at any offensive position and will be super reliant on Dawson scheming up yards and points. To ask our wrs and rbs to win one on one's consistently in space and on routes seems daunting. This is what it will take to reach 20 points vs this type of defense. Maybe our defense scores and helps the cause.

I’m 100% Hurricanes in any sport.

But I can’t turn my back on MN for the pros. I’ve stayed too loyal to all my teams to flake now. Especially on the Wolves.
 
Everyone thinks we’re screwed because of the offensive showing they just saw. It’s lazy reporting. That wind ruined everything man. We will be ready for the challenge

They were ranked #1 or 2 coming into the season wtf are you talking about. When you are ranked that high, you have championship expectations.

Texas was near unanimous #1 coming into this year and PSU was #2. I think we were #3 or #4 in most polls. Preseason rankings are a crapshoot and I think the last time Ohio State wasn't ranked in the preseason top 5 was Urban's first year in 2012, so if that is the barometer, then every year has national title expectations. However, I think we all know some teams have bigger national title expectations than other teams based on returning starters, talent at key positions, etc. Last year's team was national title or bust with almost everyone coming back and adding pieces in the portal, but this year was not the expectation for most sane fans at the outset with two new coordinators, new QB, new RB's, replacing most of the defense and OL, etc. Obviously, those expectations changed as the season progressed.

Good to hear you won't cry for long after we beat you, cause expectations were so low.
