Texas’ Steve Sarkisian says “nobody's going to give us a shot” to beat Ohio State in Cotton Bowl

[@prestonmccoy7097]

Lmao. I was waiting for someone to play this “underdog” card. I don’t care what card Sark tries to play, OSU’s players clearly are highly motivated to end things the right way and to play for something greater than themselves. I believe that will carry them through to the end.

It's a home game for Texas, they are the last chance to get the sec into the finals, the Buckeyes will have to beat the crowd and officiating that no doubt will favor Texas. Buckeyes better maintain their drive and high level of play or they will get their asses beat. Don't believe all of the hype coming your way. As Woody used to say, "if someone tells you how great you are then kick them in the shins unless it's a little old lady over 80!"

I agree. I think this will have to be Ohio State’s best game this entire playoffs. The officiating will have some really bad calls/no calls but if OSU dominates, it won’t be enough to influence the outcome of the game like how it did when Texas played ASU.

What worked for OSU vs Oregon was that Oregon hadn’t played a game in damn near a month because of the #1 seed. OSU was coming off a recent win against TN and was game ready. Oregon showed exactly what is wrong with having too much time off and how the playoffs need to be changed. I hope the committee really look at how last year playoffs is unfolding and make some changes.

What an odd thing to hear from an SEC team….smh. Ohio State has put up with the SEC’s arrogance, and sh-t-slinging for what’s decades at this point. And, they’ve done it with the full support of the SEC. With that said, Paul Finebaum seem to think it will be a f--ing walk in the park. And, there are still a LOT of Ohio State fans who have a crystal clear recollection of how Ryan Day can inexplicably lose to an unranked, broken, dilapidated rival…and at home, no less. So, it’s pretty safe to say that, regardless of these two great wins, this Cotton Bowl is ANY-thing but a given. And, that’s being nice about it.
