11W Roundtable: Garrick_Hodge, EasyEis and AndyVance discuss hot topics with the Buckeyes and college football at-large ahead of tomorrow's matchup with Northwestern.
The Penn State win didn't necessarily erase any of the ongoing concerns as it relates to Ohio State's quest for a national title. Of the run game's struggles, lack of effectiveness at cornerback or something else, what is the greatest internal threat to the team's goal of winning it all?I'd still be the most wary of cornerback effectiveness, mostly because Ohio State has yet to face an elite passing offense but has still been exposed for big gains on several occasions.
Larry Johnson has served as the bedrock of the Silver Bullets since he first set foot on campus in 2014. Even in down years relative to expectations, this team has always had its most success in suffocating opposing offenses due to the presence of an elite pass rusher complimented by a deep rotation up front. Now, J.T. Tuimoloau appears poised to become the next great leader on the edge in the lineage that began with the Bosa brothers and continued with Chase Young.
Stetson Bennett may not be C.J. Stroud, but he's more than capable of capitalizing on Tennessee's weak secondary and below-average pass rush on the Bulldogs' way to a win.SP+, which is the tool I trust most in making my game predictions, gives Georgia a ~9 point advantage at home, so I’m going to ride with the Dawgs on this one. Aside from the analytics, or perhaps underlying the analytics is a better way to say it, Georgia is a more complete team. The Bulldogs have the No.
Ohio State heads to Ryan Field as a 38-point favorite. Do the Buckeyes cover? Give us your final score and how many rushing yards Ohio State's offense produces.The Buckeyes exorcise some demons from the past two weeks as they face a pretty terrible Northwestern team that might well finish 1-11 when it’s all said and done. After facing back-to-back top-5 defenses, Ohio State gets to square up against the No. 78 defense in SP+ , and it’s going to get out of hand.
