tOSU @ NU Prediction Thread

[rmndcat]

I'd use the dOSU in the headline, but that seems kind of weak given how this one seems likely to go.

Time to prognosticate...

Deer eyes 49
Cat eyes 13

Scarlet: touchdown & extra point on every possession
Purple: field goal

49-3 Cats. Sympathy field goal at the end.

The way this reads is, Cats 3. Isn't that the score you predict every week?

 

[Alvious]

I think Ohio State treats this like a pre-season NFL game. The starters won't play much in the second half, but I don't think that will make much difference.

OSU 52
Cats 0

I think you're right on this one. OSU is trying to get a hold on a ton of injuries and won't want to risk any more injuries.

I will say this, OSU might be the most explosive CF offense I've seen in a while. By that, I mean they look just like a normal offense for a while and you're thinking that this is no way the #2 (or whatever) team in the country. Then it seems like they figure things out and all hell breaks loose. They did it in the 2nd half against us and few others. Plus their defense is light years ahead of last years with the new defensive staff

I honestly thought PSU had them beat with 9 minutes to go in the game and then - BOOM - all hell broke loose. They scored 28 points in around 6 minutes.

With that said
OSU 42 - NU 7

You expect NU to kick a field goal every week, despite all evidence to the contrary?

I expect NU to score 7 touchdowns every week, despite decades of evidence to the contrary. They’re due!

 

[DocCat2]

Even OSU 3rd and 4th stringers will trample over us...

OSU 72 NU 0

 

[rrdd2021]

With the rain forecasted, this one will go into the 4th and OSU kicks a last second field goal to pull it out 27-24. The Wildcats came so close to shocking the world. Fitz gets a huge raise and contract extension after this one

 

[FrancisSearle75]

OSU 95, NU 0

 

[NU Houston]

Why do we get two prediction threads for this game?

NU 66 - OSU 2

 

[jensberg]

56-7

They're not due. More like doo doo

Cats 33
Buckeyes 27
(OT)

Stroud pulls a Zwick. Tyus runs into the endzone after a hard fought battle to clinch it in overtime.

Northwestern or duhOSU?

I didn’t realize it would be so windy. 21-0, Cats.

Evil Empire - A Whole Lot
Good Guys - A Little

 

[JoeWildcat]

I think the wind reduces the passing, speeds up the clock, and Ryan Day calls off the dogs:

OSU 49
NU 7.

If Day keeps the ones in the game until the end of the third quarter it could be 63-0.

Not with this wind. Already being reported the Stroud is throwing almost all short-intermediate passes in warmups and even those are being affected by the wind. Maybe somewhere around 31-7
