VA Tech vs OSU open thread

Submitted by Bo's Hat 41 on
I thought this was an appropriate time to start this thread with the pre game show starting.

It says a lot when the lead isn't "who is going to win?" but "who is Ohio State going to start at QB?"
I don't think this will be a close one. But I have been wrong before.

The entire game comes down to how much the WR suspensions and injuries hurt OSU.  4 of their top 5 WRs are out for the game.  Players who were QBs a month ago (Miller, Gibson) will be getting snaps, and as we saw on Thursday night, it takes more than natural talent to run routes correctly, and the consequences of running a route imprecisely can be devastating.  They'll be playing redshirt freshman who have almost zero game experience extensively.  

If the WRs are okay, it's not a game.  If they don't perform well enough, it might get very interesting.

Virginia Tech is 3 spots worse than Michigan in S&P and 11 spots worse than Michigan in FEI.  They're really bad.

Virginia Tech: 93 in FEI and 85 in S&P+

Michigan is 82 in FEI and 82 in S&P+

You're wrong that Michigan was worse than VT.  Plus Loeffler has never been able to coordinate a good offense and they currently don't have draftable prospects (at least from the upperclassmen).

Gofor2 should be along any minute now....

But in all seriousness, I think VaTech keeps this close for a quarter or so with all the emotion coming into this game, but Meyer will have Elliott run it right down their throats. OSU wins by at least 3 TDs.

lol Urban literally gave the same answer Harbaugh did about the reason for the decision.

We took a look at all the data, who was playing the most consistent, yadda yadda.

It is going to be tough for Va Tech to win this one. They caught them at the best time last year. Their QBs have more experience now. We will see. God. How I wish M would repeat what OSU did last year.

I've heard quite a few people say they want to see osu go undefeated until The Game, so we can ruin their season. In theory that sounds great, but I just can't bring myself to cheer for those window-lickers.

I just spent the last two days in Columbus.  The inbreds were tailgating outside the Horseshoe today even though tonight's game is not at home. 

I fear OSU is going to win this game easily.  It would do my heart good to see them struggle at all tonight.  Their schedule is a virtual cakewalk after tonight until the second week of November. 

If they win by 40 tonight, someone just pull the trigger and put me out of my misery.
