Not exactly. 2014 FSU was always coming from behind late to win by a slim margin. Ohio State isn't quite that bad.
Agreed, they were behind in like 7 games last year...behind big in a few of them if i recall.
I will agree they look like they're going through the motions and not playing with fire until last Saturday where you could see it...but still not executing. Offense runs better with Barrett due to his running dimension.

I agree, as I think Barrett offers more of a consistent offense than CJ does. Not sure why so many people want to knock his passing accuracy these days. I feel if he is in there for 60 minutes, he is by far the better option. Hard to get in a passing rhythm when you are being shuffled in and out.

The big difference to me, which is more important...Barrett moves the chains more consistently whereas Cardale will give you the big play on more occasions due to the big arm. Cardale seems to have more 3 and outs, which in turn puts pressure on the D...and when a team runs well against them, they wear out easier. We all love the big play, but it's a risk. I'd rather have ball control, move the sticks, take time off the clock, score 10 less points, rest the D than taking bigger risks.

Could not agree more, and he gives the defense a rest as well. No one can take away what Cardale did at the end of last year, but I still think JT is a better over all solution for the team this year. I almost forgot how good of a runner he was until this past week. For some reason he does not "look" fast, but he seems to get to the edge to beat the defense more times than not.

He's not overly fast, but quick and makes good decisions. I've seen him make boneheaded throws but so does every qb. Unfortunately if they start Cardale again this weekend, we'll see the game be closer than it should.
If this team were to play either eechigan team I feel they'd lose. Ok, maybe not eechigan st, but that other team they would.
They have a month to get this sh!t together...if it stays the same, I don't see how there's any reason to convince me they'll win out.

I am still not sold on Meatchicken at this point. Their defense does look good, and that big back has some big play ability....but their QB would not scare me at all. Even against NW, they should have picked off 2-3 of his passes. My guess is OSU will blitz the sh!t out of him, and he will come back down to earth.

ya, they don't stack well against OSU due to having a statue under center...agree about blitzing the sh!t outta him, they'll have to run the ball, throw their short passes and control the clock. Then force turnovers...they're still playing better than OSU right now and against better competition...
I never make predictions about The Game™. It is always played in a vacuum, and it doesn't matter what either team is ranked or how they've played all year. scUM could be 0-fer right now and I'd still worry about that game.
Now Xichigan St...I think Ohio State will handle them just fine.

I just think by them OSU will be playing better, scum will have peaked, and OSU's defense will give their passing game fits. If I had to predict today, I say OSU 24-10
