VA Tech vs OSU open thread

Another MGoBlog pussy. My God you people are ridiuclous. Yes, this team is good. No, they are not unbeatable. In case you didn't notice, they're playing a really bad ACC team tonight.

There are a ridiculous amount of those on this blog. What sucks even worse is the mods don't kick them for being constant trolls. But we will get kicked for calling them what they are.

They're not unbeatable period but likely unbeatable to us this season.

They returned pretty much everyone from a top-15 defense last year. I knew VaTech's offense wouldn't be able to score on OSU, but I thought their defense would at least slow down OSU's offense.

OSU looks really great, but way too many folks in this thread are annointing them champs already. It's a long season and VaTech will prove to be a pretty bad team.

don't play for our team. After less than one quarter of watching Ohio state play, you'd think these guys were better than the Patriots. And you've already anointed then champions of everything. wow.

out.

People need to stop conflating praising a team with surrender. It isn't. One can note a team's dominant play without conceding defeat to them.

Right now OSU looks like a complete and dominant team. Can that change? Certainty. Injuries, subpar play, etc. But right now and considering what they did last year, they look like a great team.

"they are good" and there is saying there's no way we can win, no one will beat them, they are the best team ever, we're going to get killed, blah blah blah. it's a total give up attitude. nauseating.

had strong academics? Who in this conference greenlighted an ad about "40 percent more?" Forty percent more than the name would imply, so we're 140% of our name???

Does that mean the PAC 12 only delivers 100%, and the Big 12 delivers 83.3%?

We need a damn good defense to stop this offense. Hope our LBs learn to tackle in space. Otherwise, we will be run over in November. We need Peppers in full flow by then.

Yes, after one catch, he is definitely better than Butt and Darboh, both of whom had about 100 yards against a good defense. STFU.

Great catch by Braxton Miller. Why can't we have a 3rd string QB that effing good?

We will by Harbaugh's 3rd year. Hell, maybe even by next year.

This version of the spread is the perfect offense in my opinion. I love a good pro style attack, but this type of spread, at this level, is nearly impossible to stop.

I think it works best if you have a great running back and a physically dominant QB. OSU happens to have those pieces, but I remember watching UF with sub optimal players struggling to move the ball at times.

As much as I hate to say this.. I love their offense. Its not just the players its the system. They used a 3rd string qd to win the NC. Crazy. Its like poetry in motion. I wish we had an offense this explosive.

He is a perfect blend of size, physicality, and speed. If he gets hurt OSU's attack takes a significant hit.

And this is more scary. OSU's schedule after this:

Hawaii, Northern Illinois, WMU, @ Indiana, Maryland, Penn State, @ Rutgers, Minnesota, @ Illinois before ending the season against MSU and us.

It wouldn't surprise me if OSU outscores their opponents this year even worse than 1995 Nebraska (638-174).

they will be beat up from MSU's dirty plays when they play us, and not prepared for the intensity of both games from their shitty schedule.
