This is a classic trap game. Post Iowa win, before Baylor comes to town. I like to think we’ve evolved past losing games like this, but would not touch this line. Could see if being much closer than 18.5.

Just seems like every year there's that one early season game that's way closer than everyone thinks it should be. With the Iowa game elation finally waning, I'm ready to grab the nut cup at a moment's notice. If this is the year we don't have that I will put it to bed for the remainder of the CMC tenure.

I took OU and the points but could definitely see this being a laugher if our offense starts clicking and their defense loses the will to play with intensity.

Interesting how so many of you credit Ohio’s offense…but seem to ignore how bad their defense is at the same time.

Ohio’s offense is pretty good but their defense allows 518 yards per game. Rain May slow things down a bit but we should win comfortably.

Concerned about our sack rate, would be good to get a few today.

If after all the mistakes last week you think CMC let them coast this week, you’re nuts.

Of course Campbell is not going to let them coast. But would not be the first time it’s happened under his watch. Obviously not looking that way now which is encouraging. If you think college football is as simple as coach saying “don’t look ahead” and players complying, you are nuts. See last year as prime example. And every close game against a cupcake week before Iowa.
