After one game Ohio St is the better team here. The Ducks will miss the big T at DE,but his absence is worth just 1 point in the spread.Ohio St will miss a few guys that were a late scratch this AM. Both these programs are very similar they both recruit in very fruitful areas across the country and get the players. A guy goes down for the Ducks it's next man up...and loose very little talent wise,same is true for the Buckeyes. So whats the difference here ?.....14.5 pts....3 scores ? The way I see it is the the books and public are pricing this game as if Fields was still at QB or they dont miss a beat with Stroud at QB. Understand 1st game jitters but not impressed with this QB and is a big leap down from Fields at QB last season. QB Stroud looked very uncomfortable stepping up into the pocket and when outside the tackle box his throws missed the target. This is a very good Oregon D (much better than Minn.) that will give this OhioSt O a big problem!.....this could be a low scoring game ( also not impressed with BC transfer at QB for Ducks)....both teams may use the run a lot,so getting 3 scores here is attractive ..............OREGON +14.5.......................2 units................................... ......gl
