I'm hoping this is a repeat of the last Rose Bowl matchup w/ Oregon.

Everyone thought the "explosive" Ducks led by Masoli would torch OSU. Didn't happen.

I hope we get a similar result for sure, but we did have a much better defense then too.

You're either getting bad info or misread the line, haha. Ohio State is a 2-3 point favorite everywhere, but I see where one site had it open at Ohio State -5.

If so, find me the bookie that is supporting this line. I will gladly take OSU +5.

Laurenaitis is establishing himself early in his career as maybe the best NFL LB to have ever played for the Buckeyes.

I thought Cousineau was the greatest OSU linebacker or Khatzenmoyer! College is way different than the pros!

I said "early" and he continues to progress he will be better than Gradishar.

Oh yeah! Shoulda looked it up first. Either way that team had a monster D-Line with Heyward and Gibson anchoring it, Homan at LB and Coleman at safety. Really though that whole D had no weak spots, this one is awful against the pass

No. Long way to Spielman, very long to Randy, and I wouldn't even say he's better than AJ right now. Don't forget that Hawk made a Pro Bowl a few years ago and is one of the top tacklers since entering the league

I can't comment because I have absolutely no reason to watch the Rams play, but my vote goes to Storm Klein.

I dunno, the closest Hawk has ever came to a 100 tkl season was his rookie year when he had 84. Laurinaitis has done it 3 times already. I'd take him over Hawk, though AJ has made a really nice career for himself.

A.J. Hawk married Brady Quinn's sister. Brady Quinn and James Laurinaitis are NFL teammates.

Hawk also has a pretty good LB that takes a lot of them from him as well back there

Brad Jones? I would say Ogletree in St. Louis is better than Jones. Matthews is strictly a pass rusher, and Nick Perry just isn't very good.
