Ohio Who?

Did the Florida Gators play another division I-A team last night or was that my old high school team? The answer is neither. They did not play a division I-A team and my high school team would have made a better game the the Ohio State Suckeyes did. For the record, the Ohio State Suckeyes are a division I-A university and they did play the Florida Gators last night. The number 1 and undefeated Ohio State Suckeyes looked worse than the Northeast Appalachian Treehugging and Nature College.

Less than 100 yards of offense and the only bright spot was a game opening kick-off return for a touchdown which never should have counted considering the Suckeyes committed a pretty obvious hold on the play. After that it was all the Florida Gators. The Gators ran and passed all over the vaunted Ohio State defense and made the Heismann winner, Troy Smith, look like a fox in a fox hunt---scared and running. Countless times the Florida defense got to Smith with a player that came through the sieve o-line of OSU untouched.

Urban Mayer had his team prepared for this game whereas his counterpart thought the season ended when his team escaped their game against Michigan. Florida came to play, Ohio State didn't come at all.

The Final Bowls

Since I missed the first three bowl games (Orange, Fiesta and Rose), I felt the need to get at least the last two (Sugar and BCS Championship) previewed. I know there are a couple other bowls in between the Sugar and the BCS Championship game, but other than the teams involved who gives a fuck. Okay lets do the Sugar Bowl first.

The Sugar Bowl pits Neuter Fucking Dame against LSU. Need I tell you that I am pulling for LSU or is it pretty obvious (Fuck Neuter Dame)? Is it the fact the Brady "crybaby" Quinn can't bring his game to the games that matter or the fact that JaMarcus Russell is as big as the Neuter Dame linebackers? Both teams have high scoring offenses, but the difference lies in the defense. Neuter Dame's defense sucks and LSU's doesn't. I think that the Neuter Dame will have all kinds of trouble with the speed of the LSU offense. The Neuter Dame offense will not be able to convert enough times against the stout LSU defense to make anything matter. Neuter Dame averages 32.4 points per game, but they will be lucky to get more than 20 in this game (LSU gives up 12.5ppg). The LSU offense should be able to run and pass all over Neuter Dame's anemic defense. LSU will make whiny, over-rated, Neuter Dame cry and look like the shit team that they are. LSU wins 48-17.

The BCS Championship game is another story altogether. Both teams (Florida and Ohio State University) have explosive offenses and solid defenses. The offensive edge would go to OSU (36.3ppg, 409.8ypg, only 5 Ints) although Florida is equally explosive (28.8ppg, 398.1ypg), but interception prone (14 Ints). Offensive edge to OSU and the defenses are too even to pick. I will however give the special teams edge to Florida. The dual QB attack of Florida will have a harder time against the OSU defense than Troy Smith will have against the Florida defense. The key to this game will be production off of turnovers. Whichever team takes advantage of turnovers with points (preferably TDs) will win this game. I really want Florida to come out ahead in this game, but I think Ohio State will pull it out in the end, OSU wins 27-24.
