OSU Insider: The 5 Reasons Why Ohio State Will Win The National Championship, Scoop ULTRA Show!

[@TroyHarperGoBucksGo]

A lot of fans are super confident. I’d rather be cautious and humble . 🤷‍♂️

[@davidcraft4636]

I’m confident and humble. I just listened to Xichigan fans at work tell me for the 4th game in row our opponent is going to beat us. Then we have the ND fans come out and run their mouths. I sit back, smile, and say nothing. Best way to go about it.

[@patrickbateman2901]

Let them be. And you can be cautious. We’re not the ones playing the game. The team’s head is in the right place

[@kentstate1244]

What's crazy is people were more confident about Texas (NFL talent all over) vs ND, that's wild.

[@Choclate_Chip_Hoochie]

Based off the nature of football it shouldn’t even be possible ND can win this game lol the first 3 games ND played it played right into there hands, Indiana couldn’t move the ball, Georgia couldn’t move the ball, PSU couldn’t move the ball 😂 it was so easy they have averaged like 60 yards passing a game 🙄

[@kimberlyhurst]

Will Howard is an upgrade of Kyle McCord, ten times over

[@BIGBUCK20]

FOCUS! DO NOT count chickens before they’re hatched!!

[@kimberlyhurst]

I am happy for the seniors who decided to come back, this is their chance to prove why they didn't go pro when they could've

[@JobsiteJohnny-nn5zy]

An opponent with a strong defense, unimpressive offense, missing players, and a massive underdog. Where have I seen this before? Anyone declaring us national champs already is an absolute moron.

[@joelbrooks3198]

Exactly like Michigan. Running quarterback, excellent defensive line, great pass coverage.

[@csleedy70]

@@JobsiteJohnny-nn5zy Exactly. This will be an opportunity for Kelly to show that he's learned his lessons from the horrendous game plan against TTUN.

[@raypersons6551]

Thanks!

[@woohoomike]

Well, I drove up to the Rose Bowl...win. I flew to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl...win..........and I just got my ticket($2000) for the Championship game in Atlanta....should win...Great show as always. GO BUCKS!

[@lisascherer527]

So glad! You are a good vibe person!

[@dbbrbc]

Woohoomike I looked for you at the game!!! LOL Can't wait to hear how your trip was!! Go Buckeyes!!

[@patrickbateman2901]

I’m jealous!

[@joelbrooks3198]

Rock n Roll!

[@marycooley4943]

I drove to and back to Columbus for 1st round- win, drove to and back from Rose Bowl -win, drove to and back from Cotton Bowl- win, so sad but i cant go to Atlanta for championship as I am busy at work. Please have a blast at the game, Cheer extra hard. Go Bucks

[@JRock8787-c9v]

Great job Kirk!

[@bronsonlillemon4273]

I just feel so worried about this game. ND has EVERYTHING against them.. they’re wounded and counted out. That fuels a lot of teams and I think freeman will have his boys ready and it’s gonna be a dog fight

[@mattnorcia5593]

We just have to keep the foot on the gas pedal and play our game no matter who we are playing. It would not be easy if it was Georgia or Penn St either, specially GA.

[@judyholliday217]

I'm worried about the SEC refs. We have seen how fair they are when OSU is in he game.

[@joelbrooks3198]

​@@judyholliday217Yes. I am worried about some BS targeting that gets a critical Buckeye defender thrown out of the game, such as Caleb Downs or Ransom, or Cody Simon, or even Jack Sawyer.

[@kimberlyhurst]

I really want the Buckeyes to win but I hope it's with less penalties that keep them behind the sticks. Put to pedal to the metal, Buckeyes and don't let off.

[@RKA91]

GO FREAKING BUCKS😤💯

[@lisascherer527]

@TroyHarper I Agree! “Pride goeth before the fall!” Humble but steely confidence! I don’t think the players are cocky or overconfident-fans are a different deal

[@kelleyflees2288]

**** Kirk please do a live watch of the championship game.

[@TiTosTheName23]

So I'm nominating 2 names for the jack Sawyer strip sack td play... 1. Captain Jack strip sack 2. Sawyer strip six Quick elegant and straight to the point. Nothing will be as good as the "85 yards through the heart of the South" call, but i believe either of those 2 options have a good ring to them.

[@billbrasky12]

Your commentary would simply blow away Herds who sadly suffers from issues.

[@anthonyaliberti]

If this national championship was guaranteed for Ohio State to win, they won’t even play the game. They would just give them the trophy. 🏆 as bad as I want Ohio State to win this game they still have to win on the field go buckeyes

[@kimberlyhurst]

Carnell Tate has really come on strong lately, Gee Scott, too

DO THE LIVESTREAM

[@bdhall10]

Enthusiastic that we won. But…why in the world did the middle of the Texas game feel like play calling against Michigan? It’s like all of the sudden they forgot how to play offense and it felt all too familiar. Texas was forcing everything underneath. So you’re telling me they couldn’t scheme JJ underneath on some crossing routes to get the ball into the hands of the best player on the field? It’s confounding they can play like they did against TN and OR and then stall like that against TX. I understand Texas has a good defense. But you’ll never convince me they should have punted as many times as they did and should have been that close with 3 minutes left. Ok, just have to win by one point. I get it. But there is always the possibility of a turnover or bad breaks going against you. Why not play your best the whole game and put it away early like they did against TN and OR? 2nd and 3rd quarter felt like “bad Ryan,” save the screen pass that popped, luckily. Had that not happened, that was a different game.

[@joelbrooks3198]

Yes. And that 3rd down and short play where they handed it way back in the backfield to the running back and he gets completely stuffed. What a surprise! Not. All they had to do is have Will Howard quarterback sneak right behind Carson Hinzman and Tegra and at the same time have the running tush push from behind. No way Texas could hope to stop that.

[@bdhall10]

@joelbrooks3198 💯 I have no idea why they have gone away from the QB sneak. Some say it’s b/c of Hinzman. BS. You trust him to play 4 quarters but you don’t trust him to block on a QB sneak? Give me a break.

[@dylanalliance]

We need to find away to get JJ involved in zone for sure even if getting covered. I think Texas has better DB then ND

[@dougtipton6723]

We heard the same hype before the Florida 2006 game. 8.5 favs and got boat raced 41-14. I hope they don’t overlook the Irish. They are physical and playing Great

[@arch10b]

I’m 70 and when I die, I want to be a sports god

[@csleedy70]

I bleed scarlet and gray, but I'll counter your five reasons with one big reason why Notre Dame might just win this thing: an SEC officiating crew has been assigned to the game. Get ready for a flag-happy but one-sided affair by the zebras, including plenty of questionable, drive-killing calls.

[@joelbrooks3198]

Watch out for targeting that gets critical Buckeye defenders thrown out of the game.

[@kimberlyhurst]

Treys catch to the house was exciting to see

[@anthonyaliberti]

My prediction for the game 35 to 13 buckeyes we’re up comfortably after half and don’t score much in the second half

[@charlesedelen6297]

Good call , my score is OSU 34 ND 13. Go Bucks!!

[@roseandbench]

I don't believe for one moment OSU is taking ND lightly. But the talent gap between these two teams is striking.

[@RichBerry-or3np]

notre dame came just as far as Ohio state we deserve this championship more !!!

[@joelbrooks3198]

Absolutely not. You can win it next year. I am good with that.

I have seen that people are urging Jeremiah Smith to go in the draft and challenge the rules. I think he should wait and get his education in, you can't play football forever, your body can only do that so long

[@davidcraft4636]

Supreme Court shot that when Mo Clarett tried to do that.

[@kimberlyhurst]

@davidcraft4636 they need an education to back up their football career and maturing enough to handle things once they leave college, the real world

[@rgman2858]

Kirk did anyone tell Day not to try and prove Lou Holtz wrong about being tough by running up the middle on every play? Go Bucks

[@TroyCassity-t1h]

He said 8. Paul Brown 1 Woody 5 Tressel 1 Urban 1 Equals 8 so this one is 9

Gonna have trick plays for sure.

[@kentstate1244]

This game has a chance to be close because few penalties will be called vs ND, but that's nothing new.

[@anthonyaliberti]

Can we please stop guaranteeing that we’re gonna win the national championship?😂 I want Ohio State to win just as bad as the next man but I feel like that stuff brings bad luck to the team bad juju so buckeyes go out there and fight and win the game and then we can congratulate them after❤🎉

Duplicate Oregon game plan. Throw it all over the yard. Aggressive and angry. JJ, EE, Tate, Henderson and Q touch 10+ each and Buckeyes win Natty 48-16. Natty or bust O-H

[@pberryberry2734]

The OL is doing very well, but that is the weakest link bc of those injuries. Imagine if we didn't have those injuries. It would just be no fair at all cuz there'd be no weakness. Bring home to Natty🏆

[@silkyjohnson7366]

Listen I'm an ohio state alumni / fan. What jim Knowles has done is phenomenal but his line is all seniors and his db's are as well. And the saftys are the best duo in the nation. I wouldn't resign him till you see what he does with a whole new defense next year.

[@lisascherer527]

IMHO, He has developed those players since he joined us. Our D kinda sucked here he came onboard. I think He has more than proved himself in a short period of time.

[@silkyjohnson7366]

@lisascherer527 what I'm saying is it takes that level of talent and seniority in a defense to be that good. That same defensive scheme next year will fall off.

[@lisascherer527]

@ misunderstood you. Yes, inevitably some fall off but Knowles has completed his learning curve so hopefully we won’t fall back too much!
