Joe D’Amico’s FREE TEXAS/OHIO STATE WINNER
Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Ohio State Buckeyes.
Game 188.
9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST.
In the biggest marquee matchup on the college football board this week, we have the No. 1 Texas Longhorns going into Columbus to play the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes. In a quick recap, these two teams met last January in the CFP semifinals, and we all know how that ended. Ohio State took down Texas, 28-14, to then go on to beat Notre Dame for the National Championship. Everywhere I go, I am reading that the game was tied thru the third quarter, and into the fourth, and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Guys, bottom line, the Buckeyes did what they needed to do to win that contest. Yes, this is a big revenge situation for the Longhorns. I mean they are now led by Heisman-candidate, Arch Manning, who has full control of the offense this season. There is an edge at the quarterback position for the visitor here, and yes, the Buckeyes have Julian Sayin at the helm, making his first ever start. But please understand Manning only has two starts under his belt, himself. Texas also had to replace four starters on their offensive line. Coincidentally enough, so did Ohio State on their defensive line. But the Buckeyes are very deep on defense side of the ball, bringing back a couple of seasoned veterans on their stop-unit, which is expected to be as ferocious as they were a season ago. This team did not give up a lot of points, and faced quite a few strong offenses last year. Let’s not forget, playing at home in front of some of the most loyal fans in all of college sports, gives Ohio State a big edge as well. One last item my friends, it also can’t sit well with the Buckeyes that they open their season ranked behind a team in which they took down just over seven months ago. I’m going against the masses here. Take OSU, my friends. Thank you.
