The Game

The Buckeyes come into this game fresh off a 77-10 beating of last season’s MAC Champions. Tulsa looked very sharp in their opener against San Jose St and now face an enormous challenge trying to hang with the ultra-loaded Buckeyes in Columbus.

The Match-Up

Ohio State offense vs Tulsa defense

Get your popcorn. The Buckeyes looked absolutely fantastic on offense vs Bowling Green as QB JT Barrett threw for over 300 yards and 6 TDs. The running game was great. It seems almost impossible to think that Ohio St can be held under 50 points in this game.

Tulsa has given up 39 points per game two seasons in a row and have not had a very good pass rush. They are going to be better this season but the talent level on the other side of the ball is just ridiculous. They have to try and force some turnovers and hold the Buckeyes to FGs. Prognosis: Grim.

Tulsa offense vs Ohio State defense

The Golden Hurricane is good enough to score on pretty much anyone. Yes, it was a bowl game, but the Independence Bowl scoreboard is still smoldering after Tulsa put up 52 on Virginia Tech in their tough loss last season. Tulsa had 305 yards rushing and 207 yards passing last week vs a decent San Jose defense. they have really good weapons at RB (D’Angelo Brewer) and WR (Keevan Lucas) so they may be able to string some points together. Then again, Bowling Green did almost nothing on offense last week.

Tasty Tidbits

Tulsa HC Philip Montgomery was 4-0 ATS as a road dog last season….not saying just saying….Ohio St has Oklahoma on deck…..LOOKAHEAD GUY is loading up on Tulsa.
