Ohio State/ USC Cotton Bowl Predictions

By they, I mean USC.

 

How’s the defense?

How’s the defense?

 

Talented, but, the secondary has had their bad moments, this year. DB's are not well coached, IMHO. Defense has some good players. OLB Uchenna Nwusu. MLB Cam Smith, SS Chris Hawkins, DT Rasheem Green are the leading players. Good at times, but, has given up big plays to the PAC-12 explosive offenses.

If they shut down the run game USC is in for a good day.

They're ranked 101st in total defense and about 70 in rush defense. Shame on the coaching staff....they don't even have to get on the bus to recruit LA.

They still have good players on the D. Stubborness on the Defensive Coordinator, Clancy Pendergast.

75th in total D. 56 in run D. But, I get the jist of what you're saying.

They need to fire him then....LA has enough talent alone for that defense

That or quit being so stubborn.

Ohio State 31

USC 21

Osu should win this one. If not it just goes to show that 4 teams isn't enough for the playoffs. Because usc wasn't even seriously considered for that 4th playoff spot, while osu almost made it. If USC beats osu, it will show only opinions should not determine who gets the right to play for the playoffs. It should be done on the field and why all 5 conference champs should automatically make it. Because you just never know exactly how a game will play out once you give a team a shot.
