OSU offense was a completely different animal after 3-4 games last season. When their offensive line gelled and J.T Barrett actually got experience they really started to roll. After Cardale Jones took over they seemed to be the best if not one of the best offenses in college football.

 VT offense is just offensive, I don't think Bosa is needed to shut them down. Plus you have to think, down 4 starters or not, if there is ANY game circled on the Buckeyes calender this season besides Michigan, it's VT

Right, but VT won't be playing OSU's offense from last year.  They'll be playing that offense without Devin Smith, Corey Smith, Evan Spencer, Jeff Heuerman, Daryl Baldwin, Jalin Marshall, Dontre Wilson, and Tom Herman.  

I'm not saying VT will win, but you don't go into Blacksburg at night against a team with 18 returning starters that beat you the year before and say "meh, this is no big deal."

It is incredible that Loeffler survived and got into Season 3 there. He's gotten quite a bit of mileage out of "I coached Tom Brady when I was a GA." There was a time UM fans thought he was the answer as our play-caller and that he had the chops to be head coach here one day. Those projections were...kinda off.

Is there any data that says winning on the road is significantly harder at night? I haven't seen any. People throw out the AT NIGHT qualifier all the time, just assuming.

Sarcasm noted.  But in all seriousnes I do expect this game to be tight.

The spread was 16 and I'm not sure how this will move the line.  But its a night game, on the road, the first game of the year (jitters and usual kinks), against two of the best defensive minds in the game with 9 months to prepare.

Yeah you sure dont want to lose to Virginia Tech that's for sure.  Losing to them, even early in the season, will probably end any hope they'd have of making the playoffs.

Oh wait.

Nevermind.

I bet they wish they went to State.  They'd only have been suspended for a week of off-season practice.  Urbs, trying to turn over a new leaf!

until the first time JH has to discipline someone for the same thing.  if you think that he'll react the same way to it as urbz does, then JH isn't who we think he is.  I think that while he's our coach, this will play out very differently if the same thing occurs at Michigan.
