'Ohio State... shoulda won' lmao m'kay. this guy apparently thinks Ohio is playing Tennessee in the Rose Bowl Jan 1st

[@The_Dude_Man]

Thanks for the balanced analysis 🧐 Keep doubting and overlooking us…SCO 🦆🦆🦆

[@1FootballGuy1002]

I have so much money on Oregon haha I can't wait for them to dominate

[@randomkadrmas2630]

You guys spent a lot of time talking what Ohio St needs to correct for them to win. Oregon is healthy and when they are disrespected they show up. They are undefeated and Big10 Champions yet OSU is favored. I hope Oregon makes a statement.

[@taylorgander1966]

Home field advantage = 7 points, a neutral site game is expected to be 3.5 points different than a game played at home. Oregon won at home by 1, subtract the above 3.5 Vegas uses for Home vs Neutral and you get Oregon underdogs by 2.5. If you're surprised by this, idk what to tell you

[@chrislane3228]

The reason that they aren't favored isn't disrespect. More people and more money say that Ohio State will win. That's all.

[@chrislane3228]

I'm a Buckeye fan. I, too, think that my Buckeyes will win by at least 10. I am not disrespecting you, Oregon, or their football team.

[@chrislane3228]

This may make you feel better... maybe worse. In the 2014-2015 title game, the Ducks were favored by 6 over us. Our team felt disrespected after being disrespected against Alabama and beating them. Anyone that knew anything knew that Oregon had absolutely no chance in that game. Everyone knew that Ohio State would win. Maybe you have this kinda thing on your side. Good luck.

[@randomkadrmas2630]

@chrislane3228 that's what I am hoping for.

Keep doubting and overlooking, we love it and thrive on it! 🦆💪 #GoDucks #BustANut

[@bkim54]

Duck fan here, I think Ohio State deserves every bit of praise and hype they are getting. My only gripe is when people talk like Ohio State "should" have won the first game, instead of "could" have won. If you watched the game once, especially with a Buckeye bias, of course the ticky tacky offensive PI call sticks out...along with the Will Howard clock mismanagement. But watch the game again and you'll see playing the whole "woulda shoulda coulda" game doesn't favor the Buckeyes. In OSU's first drive of the game there was a 100% objectively missed interception that wasn't called (it was early in the game so everyone forgot about that, but it was blatant enough for the announcers to talk about it and show replays of it), Ohio State ended up scoring on that drive so that's literally a 7 point swing and potentially a 14-point swing assuming Oregon converts on extremely good field position. Also, on Oregon's 3rd or 4th drive there was a missed blatant defensive holding AND PI call that resulted in Oregon settling for going for 3 instead of 7. Additionally our kicker missed that chip shot field goal which was 1 of his 2 misses that he had the ENTIRE season as a top 20 kicker in the country. "Woulda shoulda coulda" favors that Ohio State loses that game by multiple possessions rather than the theory that a ticky tacky call and self-inflicted clock mismanagement would have led to a 45 yard field goal that people assume the kicker would have hit? Reminder: Not saying this is how I think, just trying to show you the logic and how this shows bias. P.S. def thought this was a Ohio State podcast until I read the comments lol.

[@nickfleming4757]

Dude you guys have been hating on Oregon all year.

[@rickgoodman7870]

[@deanellis6620]

Why is this all about OSU?

[@Whiterice0095]

Idk I like ppl saying Ohio st should’ve won bc on the Oregon side of things a lot of us believe the ducks should’ve won by more

[@kilepesic4027]

Why just cause Refs spotted OSU by 7pts with that INT not being awarded? Or that could have a 14pt swing considering that Oregon should have gotten the ball Oregon TOOK away from OSU? Or because we missed 44yd FG that he has hit 90% of the time? Or the extra point missed? Or the 2 pt run instead of extra point kick? Or Holden spitting when we woulda been 2nd and Goal and got pushed out of TD range, and scored only a FG? Or 4 and 2 on the goal line run instead of kicking a FG? Or.... I think anyone watching that game realistically should have concluded that Oregon should have comfortably beaten Ohio St.

[@johnathan404]

“Ohio state shoulda won” Dude did you even watch that game? Oregon left a lot of meat on the bone. Ducks win by 10 in the Rose Bowl 🌹

[@gregoryjulian5148]

It doesn't matter if Oregon only won by one point or 45 points they won quack quack quack.

[@sonofrobert]

And we left 18 off the board including that BS interception that wasn't allowed.

[@Mikey-w9q]

Bucks are gonna smack them. Reminds me of the 14-15 championship teams with early let downs only to snap back in playoffs.

[@seank2315]

OSU oline won’t be able to hold back the Oregon Dline. The first game Oregon didn’t have their BEST D lineman. They’ll contain the edges and attack Howard down the middle of their line. Don’t get me wrong, OSU is crazy talented all over the field but if Oregon contains their run and makes their pass game inconsistent enough it’s game over. That’s where the battle will be. OSU o line vs Oregon’s d line w Jordan back. Penn state recently ran thru oregons defense but interviews confirmed that the flu had run thru the Oregon defensive players that game. Don’t think that is an accurate data point.

[@frankpropri540]

Lol ok

[@kearlanventures]

Why do so many Ducks fans talk like this? It’s not a good look. Yall have a good team but you make yourselves look shook when you do takes like this…

[@TraumaNaked]

@@kearlanventuresbecause we’re doubted every week and show up every week. We don’t do excuses. We try to warn y’all every week and yet we have to show you every week. I guarantee the bias against Oregon will propel them to a win on the 1st. Then we can sit here in the comments and hear all the excuses Ohio has. Then they’ll do the same to the next opponent, no doubt being doubted again.

[@Labhran]

OSU has not struggled with pass protection in a single game this season. It isn’t going to start now.

[@avi7278]

Saying anything will happen in this game with any certainty for either team is straight up silly. Feckless predictions that mean nothing. It's like flipping a coin and then gloating when it lands on your call. Both these teams are different than the first game.

[@dehilster]

Of course the problems OSU had in the first game have already been corrected after the Oregon game.

[@dliu115]

And one of oregons top receiving targets stupidly took himself out of earlier the game with an unsportsmanlike conduct dismissal. Adds another stress for the Ohio st defense that no one has talked about

[@ChipEichelberger]

How can you say ohio state should have won that first game... Did you watch it?

[@jeremygilbert7989]

Right? 7 free points on the first drive alone thanks to the refs blatantly ignoring the interception. That game wasn't half as close as it looked. Also if you take out the one big 50+ yard run they had Ohio State was averaging less than 3 ypc on the ground and now they're missing their star center so that's only gonna get worse, not better. Meanwhile Oregon was missing one of our top 3 receivers for most of the game thanks to that spitting incident and Burch, arguably our best defensive player, was out with an injury that day as well. Oregon's healthier, more prepared, and playing in the closest thing to a home game we'll get in the playoffs. We are not losing this one.

[@charliegriffey7773]

[@1876Oregon]

You guys need to stop looking at so many numbers, and go back and watch the three touchdowns at Oregon had wide open. It’s complete dumb luck that Ohio State lost by a point. 52-31 is what Oregon should’ve had… And that’s giving Ohio State the extra seven points after the interception that Oregon took on the first drive. Oregon is going to win this Rose Bowl in a decisive fashion manner. My first prediction was 41-31… But now I am going with 42-27

[@Archangel3083]

Seriously ignorant talking about the last few plays and saying Ohio State should’ve won. Ohio States first touchdown shouldn’t have existed, Oregon intercepted the ball on the 20 yard line. Oregon should’ve been up by at least 8 and that’s not factoring in other points ya they left on the board.

[@avi7278]

So you're saying OSU didn't even play well and they should have won anyway.

[@Al-Rudigor]

@1FootballGuy1002 I mean, you kinda have no choice with him. He played Burke early too, because we were desperate. Tennessee thought that they were deep, because they rotated a lot of mid players. We don't play guys until the S & C coach says they are ready. J Smith was an "Iron Buckeye".

[@scottestep]

Absolute clown takes on a lot of this. They act like this was a race between a Ferrari and a Geo Metro. “In 12 out of 13 games they’ve done this well on defense”, hmmm, they act like they didn’t show up to play a Purdue type of team. Maybe one side’s coaches are better at doing their homework and prepared their guys not to just rely on what everyone says about them? Do they not realize that they played against another team stacked with talent? The other team just happens to have played in the same conference and went undefeated, but it’s an anomaly game? How about go into some detail why it was an “anomaly”. It’s not always the team stacked with the highest rated talent that wins, which I get is what PFF is all about, but which team can play as a cohesive whole and score more points than the other. Fancy that, I guess there are certain things that don’t show up in PFF scores that win games. As much as Computer models can be correct on a lot of things, it doesn’t take into account for the human element which can throw an entire wrench into things.

[@MaravillaAC]

What is ohio st gonna do about the only wr mvp in big ten championship history?

[@JesseScott-v9f]

I have a feeling buckeyes because Oregon hasn’t played in awhile and tackling is an issue sometimes with defenders that haven’t played in awhile but if Oregon plays great defense in this game I like the ducks I’m gonna go with a different theory that Oregon played in rose bowl earlier this year and played well while making a bunch of mistakes I think they don’t make mistakes in this game and win 32 - 23

[@deanellis6620]

Oregon beat them earlier and they are more than capable of beating them again!!

[@sonofrobert]

Oregon is better now!

[@jaibuckeyes]

If the DBs (Denzel Burke & Igbinosun) play their best game, and the DL keeps pressuring Gabriel, high possibility that the buckeyes win. 35-24 Buckeyes

[@frostymug3123]

The 1st game wasn't that close. Refs gifted OSU 7pts they didn't earn not reviewing the OR interception on OSU's first scoring drive. PFF says they look at film, do they?

[@yagot2luvit]

Not close??? Win by 1 with home field. Hmm Idk man. Wanna talk about the game. Clock semantics at the end? Getting an extra possession of the squib on side kick? Bs offensive PI call ok the last drive. Did you actually watch the game???

[@frostymug3123]

@@yagot2luvit Oregon intercepted the ball on OSU's first drive, refs gifted them 7 pts. Oregon missed a field goal, extra point, 2 pt conversion and stalled out at the 5 yrd line. It could have been a blowout. At the very least Oregon won by 8 and it didn't come down to 1 play at the end. OSU was trying to get into field goal position (3 pts) when OSU sh#t the bed on the last play. Oregon outplayed OSU in every phase of the game.

[@yagot2luvit]

@@frostymug3123 yea those things happened as well as what I said. Ohio st also missed field goals... They also lost their star OT. This was a home game for Oregon...With all that said: your statement that the game was not close is just not true.

[@yagot2luvit]

I'm not disagreeing that Oregon "out played them in every phase." Meanwhile Ohio st played by far their worse game defensively. Home field counts for something. Ducks won by 1 pt... Prolly would have lost if OSU gets 1 sec back. Game was close bro .

[@frostymug3123]

@@yagot2luvit OSU has racked up great defensive numbers against offensively challenged teams. They had the #1 ranked D in the nation before playing Oregon the first time. Oregon out rushed, out passed, and out played them in every phase. Oregon was missing key players who are now available and OSU is missing 3 olinemen.

Glad to see the comment section soundly shutting down the one sided analysis “Should have won” tell me you didn’t watch the game and see the points the ducks left on the board without telling me you didn’t watch the game Spend the entire time talking about one team. SMH

[@vamortgagepropenske7008]

So basically Ohio Stae sucked at everything in the first matchup and lost by 1 point. So if they suck slightly less at any one thing they should blow out Oregon.

Even with how horrible Burke played, if he would have made just one less mistake Ohio State wings the game. Can burke make one less mistake this time when Oregon doesn't have any element of surprise? It's common sense that obviously will be the case.

[@kilepesic4027]

Ohio St should have won?.... So wait, after Ohio State being spotted 7 points for INT that was not awarded to Ducks, and then extra point missed, 44yd FG missed, another extra point missed cause of 2pt play, then the spit foul that pushed us out instead of 2nd and Goal, AND Holden kicked out and not available for the rest of the game, 4th and short ran instead of kicked FG. .... That INT not awarded is at the minimum 7pt swing, and up to 14pt swing (Had Oregon been awarded the ball and gone for it)..... So the conclusion is not "Oregon should have blown out Ohio St". Instead the conclusion is "Ohio St should have won"? Really?.... Like really, really?
