I hope they can survive Ann Arbor today with a win.

If the Buckeyes can do that, it's all indoor stadiums for them thereafter. Much more conducive for their QB and WR's, not dealing with slippery footballs.

It's these kinds of games that make Woody Hayes' "three yards and a cloud of dust" strategy make more sense. (Then it would often look idiotic at the sunny and dry Rose Bowl, against the quick and pass-happy Pac-10 teams.)

We don't like to jinx this particular game by saying it will be easy. Irish_Dem Nov 2021 #8

Agree. THE GAME is notorious for throwing out the records and ruining the other team. That said, Capt. America Nov 2021 #11
