The Buckeyes vs. The Razorbacks in the Superdome. OSU has never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game, but Mallet used to play for Michigan, so I'm not too concerned.

I'm a little nervous about this game.....

Arkansas WR vs Ohio St secondary is going to be the match up to watch.

Don't get me wrong I think the Buckeyes will win this game but it won't be a blow out.

Yeah. For me the difference maker will be whether or not the OSU line can put pressure on Mallet. If they can get penetration they can for him into turnovers, because he's had a few games this year where he's thrown several bad interceptions. The defense just needs to realize that he's going to put up a lot of years and that they are going to have some big plays, we just need to limit those big plays to a minimum and pressure him to force turnovers.

Glad we're playing Arkansas instead of a team like LSU or Alabama

Yes I will be at the game.....Only 2 bowl games I have missed in my life time is the BCS Title game vs Florida and the Fiesta Bowl vs Texas......missed those 2 games because I was deployed. Having a uncle who was the 1st ever Brutus the Buckeye has its privileges.

Not me. I'd take either of those squads over Arkansas, but they will do.

I think Alabama is very scary despite their losses. They have a lot of next level talent. Same thing with LSU. Replace their QB with somebody halfway decent and we might have seen them playing in the National Championship. I also think more of their head coaches (Miles has done some dumb stuff, but he's been pretty good down there) much more than Petrino.

Same. OSU's secondary has had moments where the middle of the field has been wide open. Arkansas is hot right now too.

Still, Pryor and the OSU running game will be fine.

Yes Florida was in the SEC in 2002. Ohio State played Miami FL in the Fiesta Bowl that year. They were not in the SEC.

OSU opened as a 2.5 favorite. It quickly settled at 3.

I hope I'm not watching Chimdi Chekwa and Devon Torrence chasing WR's all over the field.

I think whatever happens its a close game
