They’re about to pass us in the rankings. So I’m not sure how you can say we’re the hunted…

I agree we’ve got good talent coming back. But that talent wasn’t good enough to win at home last season, so I don’t get this confidence about winning in their place. “I think this is the year we end the drought,” sure, that’s fair. “I’m not at all concerned we’ll beat them?” Sorry, I think that’s delusional.

Again, the rankings don't matter (and it's FAR from certain they'll pass us, anyway). It's college football. Roster turnover is FAR more frequent than in, say, pro football. The fact that we return so much top talent from a team that *should have* beaten a better version of OSU, and went all the way to the national semis, is HUGE. It gives us a huge, huge advantage. We are set. We are stacked. Any other potential contenders are relying on hype, hope and development. We are what everyone else hopes to be and get to. We are the hunted.

You can’t seem to get certain things out of your mind even when you’re wrong…like Franklin’s record against top 5 teams and always calling our record 9-1.
Just heard on Fox that OSU has 6 straight wins against teams that have an AP top 5 ranking.

OSU is the defending NC and PSU hasn't beat OSU since 2016. OSU will be ranked #1 next week. You're saying that OSU wants to get to PSU's level ?? Get serious. They're the hunted

That’s super, Buckeyes fan. Keep hunting us this year.

Not one to typically pile on players, but if you’re taking money for commercials knowing you’re you’re trash, you get these:

I was watching a few of the CF shows this morning and one of them said Manning had more commercials than completed passes in the first half. Hilarious !

Buckeye here.
I think you nailed the key match up - our DL against your OL. One thing that concerns me is Mayfield vs. our DBs. They have a world of talent but lack experience right now. Should be a great game and hope those of you coming to Columbus enjoy the experience. It's going to be absolutely NUTS that night in the Shoe. Hard to predict the outcome when two heavyweights go at it - but I have a feeling the hitting in this one will be off the charts. Can't wait.

Since you're a Buckeye fan, what's the deal with the PSU moniker?

Guy inadvertently admits he's a posing troll and wonders why his childish, douche azz has zero credibility [insert eyeroll]. duhO$U's Offense put up a woefully bad 215 yards of Total Offense including only 89 yards rushing on 31 carries - again, not just bad numbers, but incredibly bad Offensive numbers and he wants to act like duhO$U looked remotely like a team that could win a NC with that type of abysmal offensive production.

I am far from an OSU fan, and I have no idea who you are ranting against this time. But it is incredible to see you post nonsense again and again in this thread.

How OSU played in August, with a new QB, against a Texas team that is loaded with talent, will have no bearing whatsoever on how OSU will play in December and January. It is as though you have never followed college football before.

Watching USCe v VaTech and ESPN just did a piece on Arch Manning on halftime show.... They showed a scouting grade that 37% of Arch's passes were "Off Target" (meaning un-catchable throws - 43.33% of his passes were incomplete). IOW, almost 90% of his incompletions had more to do with Arch Manning's inaccuracy than duhO$U's defense. ESPN said the 37% "Off Target" number is the worst performance by a Texas QB in at least 10 years.

Texas - off of the massive over-rating of Manning based solely on his name, not his play - is one of the most over-rated teams in the nation. They could easily lose multiple games in SEC play and not even make the Playoffs.

You're a laughable tool pal - do tell how duhO$U's "new QB" explains duhO$U's awful rushing attack numbers (89 rushing yards on 31 carries)???? LMAO, but you're a self-proclaimed football savant. Good to hear that duhO$U's Offense being effectively dead last in all of FBS football in Total Offense after the opening week of CFB says nothing about how they played because...... well because you say it's so. No dipstick, it absolutely does say something regardless of who started the game at QB - it says they weren't very good, effective or productive genius.

I did not post the one that said I'm a Buckeye. I graduated from PSU in 1973

Anyone reasonable is a troll. Not even worth trying to dumb it down for them.

They just beat Texas with a new QB, genius. I can’t remember the last time Penn State came out of the gate strong with a new QB. I have been following Penn State since 1980.

"duhO$U" was starting a new QB, new RB's and a new OC. They were playing the #1 team in the country with an elite defense. OSU played it conservative. Given all that I would wait a month or 2 before judging their offense.
