Ohio State Will Destroy Notre Dame

[Eddy Munny]

Not to get ahead of ourselves here, because I think Texas poses a decent threat to the Buckeyes tomorrow night, but in the event OSU prevails as expected, how in the world does Dame stand a chance? Remember last time the Irish took to the field in a title game? Bama beat the socks off 'em from start to finish. Looking like we could get round two.

[unde0087]

Well I give Irish a better chance just on the fact they won't have that loser Brian Kelly as their coach.

OSU and Texas should both be double digit favorites over ND but a lot of Homer Domers out there.

Ohio State would be for sure. To what degree depends somewhat on how they show against the Horns.

[trobin31]

Irish are winning the ship. I think.

[stackz125]

That doesn’t make sense

Ohio st is -134 to win champs
Notre dame is +220
Texas is +375

[DrunkHorseplayer]

I'm already looking to bet OSU in the championship game; anything less than seven is an auto bet.

[Headsterx]

What would the line be if OSU v. ND?

[Eddy Munny]

What would the line be if OSU v. ND?

Espn reported -8 last night. Texas would be -3

I think OSU would get steamed and be closer to -10 or -11

[raiders72001]

Ohio St -8.5 over ND DK
Texas -2.5 -120 over ND DK

Ohio St over ND at DK looks nice. Come back over the top if the line hits double digits. Same with Tex -2.5 -120 right now.

Ohio St -9.5 -122 FD
Texas -3 FD

Two weeks ago the future line was Tex -1.5 over Ohio St.

[actiondan]

yeah the irish need a texas upset to have any chance

[k13]

They'll probably lose to Texas.

[johnnyvegas13]

Had this as well but now that ur mushing the matchup and I had same one of these will prob lose now

[k13]

OSU and Texas should both be double digit favorites over ND but a lot of Homer Domers out there.

Lines are already out.
-7.5 and -2.5

[johnnyvegas13]

Oh never mind I see Notre dame already won

which means Ohio state is gonna lose tonight …

Dude can't even handicap the date and time a game was played and wonders why he can't pick his own nose.

Chucky get in here and prop up your pet tard.

[stake1]

Huge reaction to rose bowl. before the granddaddy of them all, osu was -1 1/2 vs texas on the future line. over 80% of the money on osu. line stuck -6. Texas' defense is damn good and can ugly up this game, out physical the lines like Michigan did

i like Texas to cover tonight then that 2.2:1 moneyline

I don’t know. The last two years now Ohio State had “vaunted offenses” that the media claimed were unstoppable with Stroud and Marvin Harrison Jr. Just curious…how many points did they score against Notre Dame?

There’s something to be said for Al Golden and that defense. No I’m not picking ND to win because I don’t think they can score enough points. But this has a good chance of being a 24-17 type of game…far from “destroying” them. Learn from the past. Marcus Freeman and Al Golden can contain Ohio State’s high-flying offense. They have before…one of those games being in the Shoe.

I think your analysis applies to tonight's game more so.

The problem with ND is that their offense won't be able to stay on the field and possess the ball enough. You keep putting guys like TreVeon and Jerimiyah out there and eventually the dam will break. The Irish have also shown some vulnerability in their run defense. Plus there's a night and day difference between what weapons Penn State had on the outside and what Ohio State has on the outside.. Furthermore, the injuries keep mounting for ND and at some point you'd expect diminishing returns.

Texas could make things interesting tonight, I'm not writing them off, but if the Buckeyes make it to the final, it's all set up on the tee for them to crush it out of the park.

I made the mistake of picking Ohio State to blow Notre Dame out in 2022 and 2023. But both times the ND defense shut down the Ohio State offense. I am simply not making that mistake again should they play. This Irish defense is no joke. Al Golden is the best DC in college football and I’m not sure it’s even close. I agree on the ND offense but that running back they have is scary good and they always seem to find a way to score points. 23 against Georgia and 27 vs Penn State and those two teams have damned good lines, too.

I guess my point is this is not Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame. They’re no joke. Do I think they’ll beat Ohio State? No. But damn I definitely think they have what it takes to keep it close. That is a damned good football team in South Bend.

Their defense gave up 557 yards to USC. Other than that, what dynamic offenses have they faced? Louisville is decent and they went over 4 bills as well. I just don't see a path to success for the Irish. There's too many problems that cannot be remedied by a passionate halftime speech from Freeman this time.

[DwightShrute]

it sure has the feel of a blowout early, and it still might, but Texas is hanging in there. The can't seem to protect the QB which is a problem.

And Ohio State scored barely anything against Michigan. We can get picky about a game here or a game there all we want. But that defense shut down a good Ohio State offense two years in a row. Why can’t they do it again? Don’t tell me this Ohio State offense is that much better than the ones that faced Notre Dame the last two years. Those OSU offenses had CJ Stroud and Marvin Harrison.

[navyblue81]

By the way, the Ohio State offense tonight…at least in the first half…isn’t scaring anyone. Put them against a good defense and they look human. And Texas and ND have good defenses.

I already said Texas would be the test. If the Buckeyes win tonight it's a wrap.

Again the Irish defense has stuffed the OsU offense two years in a row. You seem to forget that. What makes you think this year is any different? I don’t think this OSU offense is any better than the ones with Stroud leading the team or even McCord with Harrison last year. Golden knows how to play the OSU offense.

Who cares what happened last year with different rosters? Shit changes quickly now more than ever. The Buckeyes lost to a team and then jumped out to a 34-0 lead against that same team and that was in the same season.

I do because Al Golden is a genius defensive coach who has shown he can shut down high powered offenses like Ohio State before. I get it….you have a deep hate for Notre Dame and it’s clouding your judgment. But truth is they can play with anyone. Hell they took the SEC champs to the woodshed and punched them in the mouth.

Oh shut the fukk up already. I was being more than fair with you and addressing every one of your points with my counter points. But now you've gone and played the "deep hate for my team" card, deploying typical liberal logic that prioritizes feelings above all else. If you don't want to be an adult then just shut the fukk up. I was plenty respectful of your position, we had differing opinions which is fine, but now you're whining and I'm done.

Just telling the truth dude. You weren’t making any sense. You totally discounted the fact that Notre Dame has a great defense and counter it with “They haven’t played anybody” when in fact they’re 7-0 against ranked teams this year and 2-0 against top 5 teams. That’s not beating anybody? Shutting down the SEC champs is a point we should just ignore? The fact Al Golden has twice shut down Ohio State’s high-powered offense shouldn’t mean anything? And I only played that card because you’ve done nothing but bash ND the last few years on this board. You have a history.

Might be a moot point anyway. Ohio State having problems with a team that lost twice to Georgia…the same team the Irish beat up.

You're not telling the truth. You're in your feelings. "Boo hoo hoo, he hates my team because he doesn't think they'll win... Boo hoo hoo, racism!"

Also, you can't read.

[ThaTopMoron]

I think they have to win this game first.

Eddy prob didn't watch Howard play Oregon first game or the Michigan game.

Or his bigger games at KSU in 4th quarter close game clutch situations. Howard loves to make the big mistake. He can roll when they get leads and the defense gets stops and or good field position... he can roll with the talent around him. But he hates the end of game clutch situation. Already threw that ugly pick in the 3rd quarter to a LB who was clearly sinking in coverage. Blind.

I would love to see Howard come up clutch here... seeing as I live in Ohio and the diehards will be crying all week if they lose. We shall see.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Lines are already out.
-7.5 and -2.5

That’s about right. I still think both teams regardless who wins tonight beat ND by double digits. ND has benefited playing crippled 1 sided teams. They come down to earth week after next.

I did watch Rudy the other night, so maybe they might have destiny.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Huge drive by OSU. Took up half the 4th quarter.

[Mac4Lyfe]

1st and goal on the 1 for UT. They run it up the gut for no gain, then pitch wide for 7 yard loss then a scoop and score. Sark is a dope for that play calling. Go Buckeyes.
