also id say osu has made a drastic philosophy shift coming into these playoffs. I’ve brought it up previously but I think they could have looked like this most the year had they decided to be a passing team and just air it out to those stud WRs but they brought chip in as oc to try and establish a physical run game as I believe they thought they needed that especially against Michigan, since that loss they have turned it loose throwing the ball which imo makes them a totally different team, a team I’d bet woulda had a redic margin of victory had they played this way all year. Dont blame them for the way they went about this season tho as it appears they were building for something. Now they are practically impossible to defend, you almost have to play a 2 deep shell to have any chance of stopping the passing game, problem is they worked very hard on the run game all year and with 2 nfl caliber backs they out to be able to run on anyone who chooses to play that kind of pass d. If it was me having to try and stop them with Texas talent up front I would play 2 deep and force them to beat me with long drives on the ground. You dead if the WRs are roasting you: run games driving the field much harder to sustain imo. Obviously the issue w that is it could have texas offense sitting on the sideline for long stretches. I leaned ducks last game but luckily props were most my plays and hit them all besides Tez who was in and out w a injury. Just don’t think you can stop osu offense, maybe you can slow it but it will take a monster effort from the horns front 4, they gonna have to control the run Game and still get pressure which is asking a lot.
