I’m anxious to see this game..,, even though it’s frought with unknowns for bettors. For sure, I think Mizzou is more excited to be here. It reminds me of Texas playing against UGA.
And, Ohio State will be missing their QB, and who knows how many others.
That said, the Buckeyes still bring a talent laden team with a good coaching staff. They are a prideful program and they aren’t going to roll over.
I think it’ll be a good game.
I’m NOT betting on it. If I was, I’d take Mizzou +4.5 points. But I’m thinking OSU will muster up enough care to still WIN the game.

Ugh. What a crappy game.
Another case for betting against highly ranked team who don’t have most of their STAR talent.
One of these days, I’ll be brave enough to make that bet.

Probably the most least interested Ohio State bowl games for me in a long time. Was not excited at all with any of the pregame hype and was just horrible to watch.

I see there was "Fire Day" social media messages just after the end of the game ! lol No doubt, those were coming from OSU haters! You have a great coach... stick with him. |

I don't know what people expected. You had a QB making his first start get injured and replaced by a freshman QB who had played about 10 plays all season. It wasn't fair to that kid that he was put in that position. Having said that, Ohio State needs to pick up one of the portal QB's because neither player who played in the Cotton Bowl is ready and may never be ready to be the Buckeye QB. Get a transfer QB to bridge the gap next year and get Noland ready to play the following season.
I'm more worried about all the transfers - I think there is something culturally going on that has led to this. Yesterday the punter entered the portal. Something is wrong internally.

Yea. I was wondering about that too.
A LOT of players seem to be jumping ship

I am clearly in the do not fire Day boat but don't underestimate our fan base. I have heard a lot of comparisons between Cooper and Day but it is nowhere close in my mind. It took day a good five+ seasons to get OSU to a championship level. Under Day this was his worst season and it ended with a 6 point loss on the road vs #1. I truly could care less about any bowl that is not part of a playoff. |

I'm a little disappointed that Day didn't have much of a contingency plan B in place. Injuries happen.
