Right. The World Series short season. The NBA Play-Offs short season. The Dayton Flyers best team ever, only 2 losses, both in Overtime, one to #1 Kansas into OT, no A-10 losses, but no NCAA Tourney due to Covid. Kentucky Derby in The Fall. NHL short season. NASCAR short season. Did they cancel The Summer Olympics ?
Ohio State is now 7-0 and has beat Clemson. They played Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan State, Northwestern and others.
OHIO STATE proved by beating Clemson and the soon to be #1 pick in the NFL Draft QB Trevor Lawrence, that OHIO STATE BELONGS IN THE NCAA PLAY-OFFS.
So throw away your slide ruler and computer stats. OHIO STATE proved it ON THE FIELD. No asterisk. Forget what some think or have on paper. OHIO STATE proved it ON THE FIELD by BEATING CLEMSON.
and in the years to come, hopefully Covid behind us, we can look back on the things USA did in 2020 in spite of world pandemic. I look at Doctors, Nurses, my Mail Carrier all year, Grocery Store workers and others in 2020 and I say, NO ASTERISK, but instead some RESPECT for a GOOD JOB in HARD TIMES. We all deserve a pat on the back for getting through 2020. We can take nothing away from Alabama or Ohio State and in fact what they did deserves EXTRA RESPECT.
Ohio State had Maryland and Michigan come down with Covid and cancel those games. Ohio State is 7-0 and have beat Clemson. Their RB set Ohio State rushing record in Big 10 Championship. Their QB set Ohio State passing record against Clemson.
Plus Ohio State blew Clemson off the field. 35 to 14 at Halftime. Ohio State got out in front and Clemson was way behind the entire 2nd Half. Clemson got an old fashioned butt whipping. 49 to 28.....and Ohio State is 7-0 and no flies on any of that. Not enough credit being given to Ohio State WR's who beat Clemson D and caught those record setting TD passes and maybe they can't be covered one on one, such as Olave. So you can't put D in The Box to stop Ohio State great Run Game or those WR's will Kill You. Great Defense and Great Coaching. OHIO STATE IS ONE DARN GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. As a Bengal Fan with no Blocking, Ohio State has plenty of Blocking.
Ohio State is much like Baltimore Ravens. If you Defense the Run, they will kill you Passing. If you Defense the Pass, they will kill you Running. Both have QBs who can also Run but can also Pass. Both have good Defenses. Both Ravens and Buckeyes are Hard To Beat. The Ohio State RB is Great and the WRs are Great. Unlike Bengals, Ohio State CAN BLOCK. Great O Line.
