RockPride Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I still think that OSU is the class of the nation...It'll be close for awhile, but there will be some mistakes made from the QB position by Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 That Florida has a little better chance in the title game after seeing Michigan getting it handed to them? Not really. USC also hammered the Arkansas team that Florida struggled to subdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gametime Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 OSU exposed a few serious flaws in Michigan, and USC copied the blueprint. I don't think it says anything on OSU/Florida... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvillecat Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hey, cvillecat, wouldn't it be nice to see a young man from eatern KY kick the winning FG for OS in the winding seconds. That would be an answer to my Prayer!!! and his I'm sure!! It couldn't happen to a better person & Family. I wish him nothing but the best no matter what the final chapter reads.:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvillecat Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Giving Meyer nearly a month to prepare could be a scary thing for the Buckeye defense. Expect a great offensive game plan with trick plays and plenty of Tim Tebow. This game will be very high scoring IMO. Meyer is a pretty good coach and I am sure will have a nice gameplan but the guy across from him on the other sidelines knows a little about coaching as well. Tebow may be a factor. As Rockpride pointed out their may a Leake in the Gator offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmAFan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 OSU hasn't played anyone with the athletes that Florida has. The defense is fast fast fast. However, in order to win I think Florida's offense has to produce points and hold their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wide Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 OSU exposed a few serious flaws in Michigan, and USC copied the blueprint. I don't think it says anything on OSU/Florida... All it says to me is that USC blew it big time against UCLA. They were the best team I saw this year other than OSU and I was really looking forward to that matchup. Oh well...that's the way it goes. It's not easy to keep winning all the time. That's one thing I really like about Pete Carroll. He doesn't let things like that affect his team...they get upset by UCLA with one of their worst performances in 5 years and miss out on a chance to play for the title. But, he gets them to regroup and refocus and bring their A-game when a lot of teams might be down about missing out on the big dance. I still think they are better than anyone but OSU, but there are no complaints. They didn't get it done when they had to, plain and simple.

gametime Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 All it says to me is that USC blew it big time against UCLA. No argument here. Just pointing out what went down, and that OSU showed USC how to beat UM and more important their pass rush and running game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.s.sportsrbest Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 If tOSU is depending on a 4-year starter making mistakes to win the game, they are barking up the wrong tree. IMHO. Ohio St. may well win the game, they are favored after all. However, I don't think it'll be because of Leak gaffes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockPride Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 ^ It's not Leak, though he did throw double digit INT's this year, but Tebow will make some mistakes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.s.sportsrbest Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 ^ It's not Leak, though he did throw double digit INT's this year, but Tebow will make some mistakes as well. I'll be interested to see if the package for Tebow includes him putting many balls in the air. I'd look for a healthy dose of sweeps and draws, with maybe a pass or two to keep them honest. I'd hope that Leak will be given the lion-share of the time to give them the best chance to win. I'm not saying he won't throw any INT's, I'm simply saying that he isn't going to make mistakes (IMHO) because the moment is too big for him.

Original Rookie Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 The Rose Bowl didn't impact my thinking but a friend brought it up to me. I don't see any reason why Florida can't win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I think that is one reason (and the biggest reason) why Ohio State will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Bear Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I don't think this happened all year, but is there a chance UM has a package with both Tebow and Leak in the game at the same time. Maybe run a little veer? I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some kind of package similar to the one Arkansas runs with McFadden and Felix Jones. Tebow at QB and Percy Harvin in deep motion. In watching some of the bowls, it seems every team in the nation is running this once or twice a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h.s.sportsrbest Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Really? Unfortunately, I think that is one reason (and the biggest reason) why Ohio State will win. Not Ohio St.'s offensive balance? The biggest reason you think OSU will win the game is because of Chris Leak at QB? Suffice it to say I disagree.
