oh yeah.
Look at what they did to the Texas offense. The Texas offense is more balanced than ND is.
It comes down to whether ND can run the ball. OSU has been able to shut down running games with a 6 man front. If they are able to consistently drop 5 6 or 7 guys into coverage and not have to worry about the run, they will probably be winning the game.
Other than playing Pasadena this year, from an exposure standpoint the Buckeyes couldn't have asked for a better bowl situation.
I just got my Pats playoff tickets!
