I'm really pumped up about going as I've never been to the Rose Bowl and its another one of those classic stadiums I'll be able to cross off the list. Go Bucks!!!!!

FWIW.......I feel like Ohio State is a better team than Oregon...............if we can play our style of football, they will be in trouble.............I feel like our defense will make it difficult for Oregon.............

This defense has done a good job of taking away screens and open lanes for the QB, forcing spread teams to pass the ball deep, which causes a lot of trouble for your average spread QB (see Torcier's INTs).

i agree. people seem to forget about the solid qb's we played against all year. oregon has yet to see a defense at the caliber as ohio state's. stack that on a coach who loves to control the clock and field position. this IMO is a better matchup for osu then if they would of played oregon st.

as for oregon they will move the ball against the buckeye defense. but i feel that our front 7 will get pressure on massoli. they will force this kid to turn the ball over.

i am sure everyone is kicking themselves over the 40+ day layoff. if anything this young ohio state team needs the time to practice and get healthy. i feel really good about our chances on january 1st.
