5 reasons the Sooners will beat Ohio State

September 07 15:09 2017

The Sooners play at Ohio State on Saturday.

Ohio State’s offense also started slowly at IN but picked up steam behind the running of true freshman J.K. Dobbins, who gained 181 yards IN his college debut, and J.T. Barrett’s 304 passing yards and three touchdowns. They got us last year, but it’s a whole different year. “You saw it on everyone’s face”.

No. 2 Ohio State was the only other team with a first-place vote (one).

Now the Buckeyes will have a chance to prove just how good they are Saturday night against Oklahoma.

In what was supposed to be one of the marquee matchups of the 2016 college football season, the Ohio State Buckeyes left no doubt as to the superior team in throttling the Oklahoma Sooners, 45-24.

There were players only meetings.

Barrett, meanwhile, seemingly worked out the kinks in the passing game with the receivers, and he responded to comments from in coach Tom Allen by saying, “I’m an accurate quarterback”.

Oklahoma Sooners coach Lincoln Riley turned 34 on Tuesday.

Workouts became more physical, teammates became closer.

Sherman: Nebraska tried to play it safe last week, guarding against the big Arkansas State plays. “Yeah, it’s going to be the same Oklahoma team”.

Brown acknowledged the game had a profound effect on the team.

The video features The Best Damn Band In The Land, plenty of Buckeye Nation, and some of the top highlights from last year’s matchup against Oklahoma to go along with some of the top highlights from Ohio State’s win at In in the season opener.

They have Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, who will rotate between linebacker and defensive end. We also will be giving our dog picks of the week as well as in-depth coverage of some of the weekend’s biggest games. We’re ready and we want to do it for him.

“Everybody who was here for last year’s huge loss definitely remembers that”, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield said.

This Ohio State team came out swinging a year ago and the Sooners didn’t know how to counter then.

Five running backs got to carry the pigskin for the Sooners picking up 133 yards.

Parker and Okoronkwo haven’t forgotten the beating they took against the Buckeyes a year ago. “You go back and watch it after the game”. If Michigan and Ohio State fans don’t root against each other, what can we really stand for in this world?

This year’s Sooners will battle the Buckeyes before more than 100,000 spectators at Ohio Stadium, also known as the Horseshoe. During his two-year tenure in that position, no team scored more touchdowns than the Sooners.

If OU’s offensive line can keep Mayfield protected, and the quarterback is patient, the Sooners can prevail. Make no mistake, this game presents an enormous challenge. We have to prepare that way.

Coaches are fond of saying one season doesn’t have anything to do with another.

“He’s in a different place mentally than he was at the beginning of the season past year”. The Buckeyes went over the 55-point total in the win.

But the hurt remains.

“Tyrrell worked really hard to earn that job and went out and played really, really well, ” Maryland coach D.J. Durkin said. “And that’s something we talked about during camp”. Quite frankly it’s just embarrassing.

Florida State was No. 3 in the preseason poll and lost an opening-week showdown with Alabama, 24-7. They started punching their way through TCU and Texas.

“They’re big, very athletic and they’re talented up front”, Ohio State center Billy Price said.
