The Big Game - OSU vs. USC

[knapplc]

Here we are, the biggest game of the young season. Two heavyweights, both with legit shots at the MNC this year.

So who wins? And by how much? Call your shot here for your chance at everlasting glory.

USC wins in a rout. Even if Beanie plays he will not be Beanie and USC's defense is going to hound Todd all day long.

USC by a lot. I've been saying for over a year now that Beckman is overrated and now is the time that he will be exposed.

I'm of the opinion that USC should smoosh the Buckeyes, and I voted as such... but the last season-plus-two-games has to have shown us that just about anything can happen.

If OSU wins it'll be close. I could see a close USC win, and I could see a USC blowout. About the only thing I'm not seeing is a blowout by OSU over USC.

Two heavyweights? I dunno bout that. There will be only one heavyweight in the Coliseum Saturday evening and they are the men on Troy. It's too bad Beanie won't be 100% if he even does play because he could make things more interesting. It's also too bad because the Buckeyes faithful will say things would be different with a healthy Beanie...I don't think so. SC by 17.

Let's not lose our minds here. Yes, the Buckeyes are a heavyweight in college football. USC should win (my opinion), but how many teams can you name that you could say that about if they were playing OSU? Two? Three?

With 119 teams to choose from, if I'm picking OSU against 116 of them, I'd consider them a heavyweight.

Sounds like what everyone was saying just before the Florida/Ohio State game

I'm just saying. Though I too expect a Trojan route here.

I'd pick OSU against maybe 100 of them in their current state (i.e. Beanie not being healthy).

Heavyweights don't struggle against Ohio.

Poor Troy, I feel for ya buddy.

Let's be honest here, USC will be putting in backups midway through the 3rd quarter. Ohio State might bring it to within 14 after that point.
