| I think OSU is going to have some problems stopping Jamaal Charles. Texas will have problems stopping Ginn. It should be a great game. However, I will be in Neyland watching the Vols beat the team who apparently can't recruit "speed."

| Texas... believe they've got the better defense, and if some back from Northern Illinois, no matter how good he is, can shred Ohio State's defense, what will a whole team full of playmaking athletes do?

| Just read something on cbs sportsline website. Two TX starters CB Brown and Special teams player Gatewood were suspended for OSU game for arrest on misdemeanor charges.

the difference could be just in that TX's d could hold OSU to a couple of feild goals where TX gets a couple of TD's....

Troy Smith does not = Vince Young
Ted Ginn is a tad overrated as a WR (he's solid, but he's an excellent return guy)
Antonio Pittman is the most important player on tOSU's roster.
Jamaal Charles is better and more athletic than Garrett Wolfe (NIU's RB).
Colt McCoy is playing his first important game AT HOME.

| Mack Brown suspending the guy that was supposed to cover Ginn may have done Texas in. However, I still believe that Ginn's abilities as a receiver are vastly overrated. He is a marginal route-runner and a so-so catcher, who just so happens to be among the fastest men playing football, amateur or professional.
A good defensive scheme by Brown could still potentially stop Ginn.
Texas' defense should also meet handling Troy Smith and Antonio Pittman. Both sides should meet with moderate success there.
Ohio State will have a very difficult time stopping Texas, though. I know they are without Vince Young, but a decent offensive unit is still in place here. This may prove to be too much of a challenge too early for an Ohio State defensive unit who is too young and too inexperienced.
So... I say this game comes down to Ginn proving his abilities as a receiver.

| I hate to say it, but I think Troy Smith could pull out a close one.
