    Is ohio state really -10 @ VT now?

    Line moved from 14 to 10. How is this not a blow out?

    I'd hate to hear what they had to do to get suspended. Meyer won't suspend you even if you kill somebody

    Jalin Marshal and star DE Bosa. marshall is the #1 WR and and Bosa is the next JJ Watt.

    They said it was related to Marijuana and academics.

    They are keeping it very hush hush.

    Urban Meyors response to reporters???

    He's like....

    I think we try to build a certain culture here at Ohio State and we hope that the players do what they are supposed to do but he understands that nobody is perfect.

    And he basically said I think we have done a good job recruiting and we are very deep at every position so "I'm not worried about it"

    He is one cocky son of a bitch.

    i could be wrong but i think the very earliest line on this game was closer to -20. like 19, 19.5, 20, something like that. it had steadily come down over the months and had gotten down to like 14 or 13 then this happened and now we're at 10 or 10.5.

    i think -10 is probably a decent enough number on this one. i feel like these guys wouldn't be suspended for this game if meyer wasn't confident they could win without them. if there were any worries it would be one of those "suspended half a game" situations, or maybe even the information would be kept under wraps until after this game, then released before one of their many cupcakes on the schedule (in conference or out). i am no soothsayer but i think the line will get pushed back up closer to game time.

    i think you are correct.

    I can almost guarantee you it won't go down to 9

    Game is at Va Tech, it's their first game since winning it all and could not really be looking at them at all. This game screams close throughout with Ohio State escaping with a single digit victory, the line is exactly where i would have imagined it.

    i could see a back door cover for those with +10.5 and higher

    maybe ohio state up 17 and then VT scores a late TD to cut it to 10.

    actually no it's not...a lot of players returning for OSU and they are defending champions so there isn't any significant drop off.

    You guys are absolutely insane if you're willing to lay 10 points in Blacksburg. VT will have a top 5 defense next season, and Bud Foster excels at defending systems like Urban Meyer's. I don't think VT will win the game again or anything, but it'll definitely be close.

    I remember VT being very average last year. They lost 4 at home and got housed a time or two

    ohio state will roll. Barrett being back and meyer was outcoached in that one. I was willing to lay 19 so 10 is a gift.

    How the hell could you believe OSU might possibly be overlooking this game? It's the first freaking game of the year. Players at this point are just jonesin' to crack helmets of a different color. They are relishing the opportunity to play football again, no matter who it is against. Now add that to the fact that they are playing the only team that beat them last year, and you get a motivated Buckeye squad. Remember, in the old format, Ohio State wouldn't have even had a chance to earn a national title all because of an early season slip-up to Va. Tech last year. You don't think that serves as motivation?

    The Hokies are severely outmatched in this game, even with the suspensions. The only thing that might keep this game close are a rash of first-game blunders by the Buckeyes, combined with some adrenaline-hyped home-cooking by the Hokies.

    its called getting better. Most of these guys were under classmen and they had a lot to learn. Urban Meyer did an outstanding job teaching them how to be champions.

    ohio state went from a very mediocre team to one of the best teams college football has ever witnessed before.
