CLEVELAND, Ohio – September's pork skin action heads south this weekend for a shootout in Dallas for Ohio State and a trip to the bayou for the Brownies.
Take a look at Thursday's edition of Inside the Line and see if the third week's picks match last week's record of 6-0.
We are confident, but not quite ready to leave our day job for now.
The Ohio State offensive line will unleash an undersized defense of the TCU on Saturday night. (Marvin Fong, the ordinary merchant)
No. 4 Ohio State (2-0) vs. No. 15 TCU (2-0), Saturday, 8:00 pm
Vegas Insiders consensus on the Paris lines:
Ohio State -13, Over / Under 59
The scarlet and gray Dwayne Train inspires Jerry World while your Buckeyes earn $ 5 million for a neutral battle against the TCU on Saturday night.
On Saturday night, the focus will be on Dwayne Haskins, the quarterback of the Ohio State who participated in the Heisman conversation in 2018 by tearing down a pair of mediocre defenses at Rutgers and the Oregon State . Then comes a severe test from TCU coach Gary Patterson and the 4-2-5 TCU defense, which is not the case. Not so fast, my friend.
Whoever said that everything was bigger in Texas has never seen this defense of Horned Frogs. Built to stop Big 12 sandlotball, TCU looks a bit light in England to slow down the power play of the Ohio State.
While the Ohio State's offensive line has an impressive average of 6-foot-6 and 312 pounds, the Amphibians go to 249, 290, 286 and 235 on the front line and have a return to the 205-pound middle line. . 205? He's not even a Buckeye fan of average size, like all those who have queued at the Ohio Stadium.
Patterson of TCU deserves his accessories as an outstanding coach with a bizarre plan that confuses opposing offenses. But all the X's and Bones of the world do not matter when the Jimmys and Joes line you up and train you. We are looking for Dobbins & Webber, the best law firm in the Ohio State, the best RB OSB litigation duo since Wiley & Montgomery in 1998, to have an open case in the field.
TCU can counter by selling to stop the race – that's what Rutgers has been trying to do – and thus expose their high school to Haskins and his patrol boat platoon at the foot of the fleet. Already 10 Buckeyes have two or more captures this year, a sign that the unusual depth of this unit will let the defenses guess the mistakes as they tackle Haskins' dart target.
When TCU gets the ball, mobile quarterback Shawn Patterson will give the young Buckeyes linebackers headaches with a fake-read option and some agile breakouts through the collapse of the pockets. But the return of a single starter on Horned Frogs 'offensive line announces a final failure when new faces face off against Nick Bosa, Chase Young, Dre' s Jones and Robert Landers. These four offenses speed up more than parents make children late for the school bus.
It may become uncontrollable before the final whistle. We therefore call the Ohio State to cover a gap of less than two TDs.
The choice: Ohio State -13
