And our Bucks are in it. I feel pretty good about the game. I probably won't get to bed until after midnight, so I will be dragging on Tuesday. But for the first time in a long time I feel good about our chances in a big game. I think Cardale Jones is probably the best of our three quarterbacks and the running game is purring and Marcus Mariota can't be on the field when our offense is on the field. I am encouraged because we beat Alabama and survived probably the best punting performance I ever saw, college or pro, and we made several crucial turnovers and mistakes and still managed to beat the best team in the country in a convincing way. In the first half we outgained the Tide 348-133 which is massive. Remember, Ohio State is usually mistake free. AND there is one other thing that might help us: this game is on national television and ESPN paid six billion dollars to telecast the playoff series for the next ten years which means there will be plenty of commercials which might slow down the Oregon offensive onslaught. Really, there offense depends on making quick plays so other teams get tired and cannot substitute. Anyway, if anybody has a thought, just bring it. Politics aside, I think we are all on the same page here.
