Ohio State Will Destroy Notre Dame

[ThaTopMoron]

Texas called a sweep and I started to laugh before the guy was even tackled

I wouldn't call that bum play in a video game at the goal line

[Eddy Munny]

1st and goal on the 1 for UT. They run it up the gut for no gain, then pitch wide for 7 yard loss then a scoop and score. Sark is a dope for that play calling. Go Buckeyes.

An argument could be made that four (if necessary) consecutive one yard quarterback sneaks would've been damn near impossible to stop.

[Seattle Slew]

His play call on first and goal from the 2 was just as dumb, throwing a slant inside could have been picked. He gets a borderline PI to move the ball to the 1, then gets stuffed, panics and tries to outsmart them with a jet sweep.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

The OSU coach made an even worse call when he called a pitch on 4th and a half when they had six linemen and only five defenders on the line; the QB sneak was there and the sweep got stopped.

[SundanceKid]

Last year Lou Holtz came on the MacAfee Show and said Ohio State were a bunch of soft ass 10 ply boys. Crying Ryan Day took that personally and as we all remember the Buckeyes came up with a big goal line stand to win that game... This time the game is played at a neutral site with better players for Ohio State. Let us also be reminded of the 3 big National Title spreads of the last 12 years. Bama covers the 10 against Notre Dame in 2012. Bama covers the 10 against Ohio State in 2020. Georgia covers the 14 in 2022 against TCU. Much like UCONN last year in the NCAA tournament, Ohio State wins all CFP games by 10+.

You're not telling the truth. You're in your feelings. "Boo hoo hoo, he hates my team because he doesn't think they'll win... Boo hoo hoo, racism!"

Also, you can't read.

I’m not trying to get personal dude like you are. But you have a track record here of going against Notre Dame every chance you get and bashing them to death. Therefore it’s hard to take your analysis seriously. Again, you don’t even take into account how the ND defense shut down a potent Ohio State offense two years in a row. Many of the same players are on the team from last year..although no Marvin Harrison. Al Golden is still running that defense. Could Ohio State blow them out? Sure. But to not give Notre Dame any credit or respect is asinine. They’re a damned good team. I think the second best in the country. #1? I don’t think so. I don’t think they’ll beat Ohio State. But I do think they’ll keep it close.

Eddy is so sharp he doesn’t even post plays

just posts predictions

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Ohio St. -6.5 all day and all night long. ND is good but OSU is just too good right now.

What track record? I have no idea what you're talking about. This is a gambling forum. A team either covers the spread or they don't, it's not an emotional endeavor. You are a complete snowflake. I don't care where your heart lies, I'm just forecasting an outcome, get over it.

Mac4Lyfe, Sundance Kid, Drunk Horse etc. all apparently also harbor a deep hatred for the Golden Domers???

When you talk about emotions clouding one's judgement, you are clearly projecting.

Look, it's as simple as this: if you think the game will be close, then bet accordingly. There's no need to launch a social justice campaign. There will be a game played in nine days and from there we can adjudicate.

I will. I already bet $2k on Notre Dame +10. That’s from some of the $5k I won betting on Navy to kick Army’s ass this year. So we’ll see. If I lose, I lose. But I’ve seen Ohio State play a lot this year and Notre Dame is the kind of team they struggle with much like they have the last two years. Notre Dame beat Georgia for a reason.

Also, Ohio State could have easily lost last night if Texas had half a brain on the 1 yard line. And personally, I don’t think Texas is that good a team. They got stomped by a Georgia team that ND punched in the mouth and barely beat an average ASU team.

[Shark]

Ohio St. -6.5 all day and all night long. ND is good but OSU is just too good right now.

It’s -9.5…

Transitive property is useless in sports.

"Team A did this to Team C who beat Team F therefore Team F stands no chance against Team A..."

Doesn't work like that.

I expected a tight game from Texas and that's what it turned into. The difference is they have an offense that can move the sticks and keep OSU's offense on the sidelines for a spell. Notre Dame's offense is more one dimensional and got banged up on the line in the previous game when they weren't 100% to begin with. So if Notre Dame can't play keep away, then expecting the Irish defense to keep them in it for 60 minutes is too big of an ask.

That makes sense Eddy. I don't think they can play keep away. Will be awfully tough.
Personally, I will be rooting for for N.D. because an old friend of mine from back in the day is the QB's grandad. But it looks like Ohio St. is really complete and playing their best ball right now.

Sometimes your best offense isn’t your offense. Notre Dame found a way to score 23 vs Georgia. They found a way to score 27 against Penn State. And those are two good defenses. Special teams, defense, a big pop from Love…the points can add up. As for their OL, Jagusah is back so that’s one big return. I just don’t think it’s going to be this blowout everyone thinks. I’ve seen these teams play a lot the last couple of years including against each other. There’s familiarity. I just see a 24-17 type of game here.

It might not be a blowout, but I'm betting on a double digit victory of any kind. Ten cashes the ticket.

I like Marcus Freeman a lot, so if Ohio State can't win by margin then I hope the Domers score the outright victory.

[RM Logic]

Ohio State played terrible last nite. Penalties, dumb personal fouls, PI penalties. WRs dropping passes, Smith with only 1 catch, terrible play calling by Day and Kelly.
They won because of their DLine.
And how ridiculous is it that the opposing teams all year long have been called for only ONE holding penalty. Against 3 NFL lineman. 1 holding call. Are they trying to make the game closer by saying you can hold all night we wont call it.

You know ND Oline will do the same. So you might have to take the points with that going on.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

It’s -9.5…

I know, I went to Westgate to bet and saw the bad news when I got there. It said 6.5 at wagertalk; fukkin pricks.

[2Sweeet]

lol u all no what to do now!!!!!!!!

[BCaldwell32]

That doesn’t make sense

Ohio st is -134 to win champs
Notre dame is +220
Texas is +375

Makes perfect sense because Texas was a big underdog against Ohio St to even get to the title game so much bigger dog to win title than Notre Dame is because they are already in the game!!

[Eddy Munny]

Where's NavyBlue81???

Dude was all in his feelings calling me a Notre Dame hater just because I said Ohio State would throttle the Irish.

I just trusted the story my eyes told me and bet accordingly. Notre Dame was dead on arrival, the opening drive notwithstanding.

I’m here. Im waiting for this destruction you talked about. I got ND and the +9.

[navyblue81]

Man I had this ticket cashed in and won. Ugh. Hope OSU takes a knee here. Two grand riding on it.

[Eddy Munny]

The game was NEVER in doubt, don't even pretend this was competitive. Ryan Day took his foot off the gas and crawled into a shell, probably earlier than he should have, but this was not two like caliber teams.

It was a one-score game with two minutes left. I don’t think OSU let their foot off the gas. ND simply got overwhelmed early on and then found momentum in the third quarter and turned the game around but it was too late. I was disappointed in Al Golden. Not sure if he was more focused on the Bengals job but their defensive scheme tonight was terrible. They’re a better defense than that and they played out of their strength. They’re a blitz team and they didn’t do it at all tonight. Even the announcers didn’t understand it.

I thought ND would cover 10 points. They had that covered until the end. Hit some on the Mitch Evans prop but was gutted on that third and long play. Kudos to Ohio State, though. They were the better team. No one could compete with them all playoffs and they played four really good teams.

One of the most boneheaded calls in all of football. I still can’t believe Sark called that shit.

[Eddy Munny]

I give Notre Dame credit for not rolling over and dying when it was 31-7, but Ohio State definitely took their foot off the gas. The last drive where the Buckeyes actually had the playbook open was the one where Egbuka fumbled at the ND 20. After that they pretty much prioritized bleeding the clock, which almost backfired.

My nuts were in my mouth when ND cut it to 8 with that 2 point play. I was on cloud 9 a few minutes earlier when it was a 24 point lead. Day took his foot of the pedal and it almost bit him in the ass.

Yeah OSU started running their 1940's offense and it gave Notre Dame life... Also didn't help that the Buckeye defense was constantly getting handsy and it started raining flags in the secondary. It did get a little dicey at the end, against the spread more than anything, but I never thought ND would steal it outright.

One could say they took their foot off the gas. Another could say ND’s defense finally showed up…just too late. I think it’s more about momentum. Football is all about it. I think that fumble turned the momentum around and OSU lost it completely until that big deep pass.Same thing happened in the Texas game. OSU offense looked great early and then they lost momentum and the offense seemed to stutter and let Texas back in it.

Notre Dame is not far off, though, from being a #1 team. Closer than they were with Kelly. They need a passer. Maybe CJ Carr is it. They also need a playmaker in the receiving game. Defense is great when healthy. Missing Mills and Morrison clearly killed them tonight. But they’re not far off. A lot of pieces returning next year and they had a big recruiting class.

ND is closer than they were under Kelly but it’s still a long tough road for them. It will only get harder as the NIL era continues to grow. The thing about Ohio State and many others is they have all the advantages and no academic requirements.
