I agree. As sad as it is to say as a Buckeye fan, I think if we go unbeaten and face Bama in the BCS title game, we will get embarassed yet again. Our offense (particularly the playcalling) just couldn't put up the numbers we would need to to beat BAma. After last week I thought we maybe could, but after yesterday it is clear that Bama is by far the best team in the country right now.
And let me add that Saban is probably the best college football coach currently as well.
Long ways to go. I don't think OSU would be embarressed. I think our defensive front/LB has enough to contain Bama run game. And with Pryor being the X factor, I believe he has enough to keep OSU in the game with this running ability. It would be enough to keep Bama defense on their heels, not being able to tee off as they do against pure drop back passers they have played against thus far. If we were stuck with a pure drop back passer...then I wouldn't have any confidence.
NO question, Bama is tops right now. But again, its only the 5th week of the season. A lot of football to be played. And more times then not, Tress teams do get better as season goes on.
Yesterday games did a number both ways...OSU struggled, Bama rolled. Its only natural that people will think what you said above. That can change in one week.
I lost confidence myself in OSU after yesterday. But I do go back to the Maimi game. I think Miami is going to end up being a pretty good team.(they look good now) They have some great athletes, pretty darn good defense. OSU did just fine. They had a hiccup yesterday. It happens in the course of a long season. But no question, OSU needs to get better especially with the run game.
BTW, McElroy is a WINNER. But he isn't even in the top 5 as far as QB go in the country.
Lastly, there is no question that Saban is the best in the bussiness right now.
Am I missing the sarcasm or are you being serious because this is serious bidness. Thats almost as saying that Bama isn't miles ahead of everyone else.
