This will be a dog fight, no doubt, as every game in the Big XII has proven to be! But TCU is not 34 points better than OSU! This should be a close game!
I'm going back and forth on this game.... OSU seems to find a way to get things done with adequate offense, good defense and solid special teams. I think we can just keep the play in front of our guys and just manage a win with our better talent and preparation, but it is on the road.... very tough game to call.
If we don't try to get too greedy, then I think we can simply wear them down with our DLine and have more left in the tank in the 4th quarter.
TCU has not done that much to impress me, other than beating some so-so teams. (Same with OSU, Baylor's loss last night sort of shown another spotlight on our successes).
I am starting to think that the whole league is down this year, maybe it's only a reflection of the QB injuries so far, but I can't point to any big wins on anybody's schedule that impresses me. The UT/Bama game is one of those types of games, but Texas lost, so there is that, and Bama struggled with other teams this year too.
All in all, it's a pretty strange season across the country, IMO.
