OSU didn't have a passing game or a balanced offense in 2016 and it showed. Clemson stacked the box and dared JT Barrett to throw the ball, knowing he wasn't an effective passer. Stroud is very accurate and has plenty of weapons to throw the ball to.Omega wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 11:49 am Buckeyes are in Atlanta. Just four more sleeps until it is game day. One would assume the hard prep has been accomplished back in Columbus, and all that remains is bowl site acclimation and the obligatory bowl public relations activities.
Ohio State enters the game as only a 6.5 point underdog to Georgia, yet the Buckeye media and fan sites are full of predictions of UGA winning by 21 points or more. Articles focus on OSU shortcomings rather than on how Georgia can be beaten. A kind of Ohio against the world scenario.
I hope otherwise but I can see the Bucks suffering a beat down like they experienced against Clemson in 2016. Could OSU find some hidden leadership and fortitude? Certainly, but where has it been the last two years?

What say you!
The key will be OSUs passing attack vs Georgia's secondary and Georgia's ability to run the ball against OSUs defensive front. Both are good vs good for each team.
If Stroud man's up and uses his legs to keep drives going, it could be a very long day for Georgia's defense.
