tOSU - My thought on this team

Ok, so Ive watched more than my fair share of Buckeye games and I have come to the conclusion that this years team is unshakable. The play every game every play and then get back in the huddle and do it again. When early in the MSU game, Wells fumbles the ball deep in tOSU's territorty, what does the D do? jog out there and not only stop the MSU O, but they forced them to punt on a 4and liek 17, out of field goal range. This team does not play off emotion its almost like lets bore the other team to sleep and then do something. Remember 2002? its the same team with a better offence. They dont really do any thing flashy, just win the game. Smith is a good QB and Ginn and Gonzo are good WR and Pitts is a good rb, but none are total game changers, if you took one out the O really doesnt lose a step, when you watch them, you get the feeling like they not only expect to win, but will take advantage of every mistake they other team makes. Again remember 2002? The OSU-Michigan game is looming larger and larger every week, especially with the BCS being released, and Michigan listed at #3. For Michigan, or any team to beat tOSU they are going to have to play the best game of their lives and not make any mistakes because this team will not get rattled if you score a TD or make a big play, they play like a machine and slowly grind you away.. I think they win the MNC and hoist their 2nd NC, but I just wonder if they will smile when they do it? I wonder if Smith wears a sweater vest to the Heisman awards? LOL

When I was watching that game it was pretty evident they could've scored 60 on MSU if they really wanted to. They do just enough to win, and that still usually results in a blowout.

Right now Troy Smith is a witch, he is so far ahead in the heisman race they might as well call it off and just give it to him. About his only competition might be Ginn.

But they have to get past a pretty salty Michigan team that might throw a monkey wrench into their plans.
