Great article Andy - very objectively written. I must confess, I disagree with some of it though. Because I am not objective. I am a biased homer.

I saw a thread here trying to stuff the ballot box (which I promptly did). I wouldn't read too much into that pool.

Eleven warriors is attempting a coup of our coup.

BOO on you Andy Bitter. For shame thou have spoken such blasphemy. Good article. I think 17-10 is a more realistic score. Its going to be which offense scores, or doesn't put their defense in the hole in field position. Turnovers will decide the game, and for the first time in a long time I'm confident we won't lose that battle

I just started thinking about being a freshman kicker and trotting out there to perform in front of that hostile crowd.
I might actually pass out on live TV. No idea how those guys do it.

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.

I am guessing 17-10 as well, suckeyes. Still too many questions for me and * is very talented and playing at home. Heres to hoping our boys prove me wrong, go Hokies!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I think the coaching is even vice in favor of tOSU. I agree with everything else. Good article!

interesting here. on of the 11th warrior's staff doesn't feel too comfortable about this saturday. I would agree their D sucks.. I expect a couple deep balls from Brewer to Ford and company! I wonder what Mr Cam Phillips will bring to the shoe as well..

lol

Saying their defense sucks is a bit extreme, it's hard to judge based solely off a game against Navy. I will say their offensive line sucks though, and that's something that has me very excited for tomorrow night.

Also from the buckeyextra they have an article that I quote,

"As for Saturday, I dont look for it to be close. Virginia Tech has a new QB and historically has been weak on the offensive line. I expect Joey Bosa and Michael Bennett to spearhead a front four that will be excited to get after a pro style QB. Offensively, I look for the playmakers we have to be the difference. I think this is the deepest set of skill players we have had in years, leading to fresh legs that can run really, really fast. I look for our line to improve, and for the Buckeyes to force Bud Foster to defend the entire field."

"If he wants to blitz the house, he better be ready to pay a steep price if his guys dont get to the QB. Leaving speedy Devin Smith in single man coverage while they blitz will make the guy who has to hit the button to shoot the fireworks develop carpal tunnel by halftime. I also think our line steps up to the task and plays well. "

" In the end, I think Ohio State makes a national statement with a 42-21 victory. Enjoy the game. " This came from the Kirk Barton piece written on the blog.

I think this goes back to the arrogance of Ohio State and Urban Meyers feeds it when he says things like "the hokies are simple but they play hard." Take heed, VT is at its best when they have been disrespected. No Carmen Ohio for you this week OSU.
