OSU was missing a few defenders in the Cal game.

Yes, the defense is not good, but not as bad as people make it out to be. They seem to be streaky of having very mediocre games or great games. Northwestern, Iowa, Cal all mediocre games. Michigan just plain awful. Then some really good ones in their (Purdue to 2.0 YPP (yes, lol Purdue, but still the least Purdue put up by a longshot), Indiana (2 garbage time TDs, they put up big numbers in all games except Wisconsin), PSU, SDSU).

OSU has no trouble shutting down run-based offenses with crap QBs. They cannot cover screens for coaching reasons. I basically called OSU a rich man's A&M. Slightly worse offense, decent amount better defense.

OSU's D about 25th in the country. Not awful but certainly not good.

I think you are underestimating how awful MSU's offense is. They are worse than every Ohio State opponent except Buffalo (barely) and Purdue. There's a reason the predicted score is 28-22.

LOL Auburn's D ranked 64th. Now that's an awful D.

How does everyone feel about my Mizzou Tigers?

I hope they lose.

Going to the game? War eagle

lol TC doing his best to try to defend that pathetic OSU defense and using Purdue as an example. Langford has come along nicely for MSU and Cook should have no trouble moving the ball against that awful OSU secondary. MSU offense is night and day compared to the beginning of the season. OSU hasn't played a D anywhere close to the one they will see Saturday and Narduzzi has no problem scheming to stop running QBs. They will bring double A gap blitzes with Bullough and Allen and their DEs are good enough to play contain.

honestly think MSU wins this game

Very good! I think they will roll the orange and blue tigers....blowout!

Hopefully OSU chokes or MSU just plays a great game and then the Black&Gold get to go for the crystal ball

Blowout? Lol

I just don't see this happening for either team

Your team is toast! they can't stop our ground game and are going to be shaking their heads trying to play defense against any of our receivers.....

Auburn isn't built to defend an offense like Mizzou's

MSU YPP scores by game:
.631
.798
.670
1.141
.839
.735
1.010
1.064
0.860
1.352
1.095

So moved from epic bad to slightly above FBS average (1.019 for last 6 games vs. .816 for first 5). (Or 1.076 for the last 5).

.816 = 112th (LOL)
1.019 = 53rd (about PSU)
1.076 = 36th (about Oklahoma)

They are the equivalent of PSU if you look at their last 6 games. The team that was down 42-7 at halftime. Like I said, 14 points is going to be enough to win a lot of the time.

Auburn isn't built to defend an offense like Kansas either.

A Mizzou gimmick account. Interesting.

Originally a Cardinals gimmick account, but now a Mizzou gimmick account....lol

Man a couple of different SEC bloggers/etc have tried to find Meyer quotes from back then, and if those are the quotes they think are worth bringing back up, he must have been diplomatic as **** back then.

Amazing that Urban got the Gators to jump a 12-0 undefeated Michigan, USC, and Louisville that year.

Michigan was 11-1 and the only one the Gators really needed to jump that year iirc. That was totally different than this years scenario.

Plus, I mean... Of course he would say stuff like that in 06, his job is to get to the NC game. What would you want him to say

Bama v UCF would be the woat let's lobby against that if necessary

This thread is irrefutable proof of lol college sports

Your team is probably better but they won't win because ghostofshug or something

Hey guys! OSU defense is legit because they kinda stopped the two worst teams in the state of Indiana!

Sorry SEC, tOSU > SEC: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...cs-era/page/26

Did you really just link a bleacherreport slideshow?

McAfee reported that link as a "Dangerous Site". Having read Bleacher Report before, I am inclined to agree.

Mediocre = Legit. Cool story.
