Smith is the better Quarterback, although Russell has all the measurables to be great someday.
Smith doesn't try to invent things that aren't there, kinda like Russell and Leak do.
The biggest advantage I give OSU is in how their QB can handle pressure. If we lose, that will be the biggest factor. Hopefully Meyer has addressed that in his game plan. Leak has the potential to have a great game, but he must resist trying to force things, like you said.
I have been following him since HS. such a great guy all the way around
