I had this friend in high school who was infuriatingly, casually brilliant. He was the kind of guy that could wake up five minutes before school started, roll into class wearing pajamas, and ace whatever AP Calculus crap teachers would throw at him while picking McGriddle remnants out of his teeth. This was especially infuriating to the assorted plebeians in his wake like myself who were spending an inordinate amount of time simply trying to parse the difference between various squiggly lines in Trig (which I failed, both in terms of squiggly line taxonomy and also on my grade card).
So while I know that Ohio State is capable of hitting the nitrous at literally any time and dumping dozens of points on the scoreboard in less than a quarter, I don't exactly trust it, because I don't exactly understand it. Is that a product of me being dumb and comparatively incompetent? Well... yeah. But that won't stop me from sweating bullets like I did on Saturday.
THE TEAM

THE ALUMNI
PSU did their homework. 2man Defense in Obvious pass situations. Tough tough bc CJ has to beat them with his feet. I hope he decides to open the stride up and make some plays with his feet.

Best throw of the day by CJ Stroud.
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) October 30, 2022
Up six with 4 minutes left, OSU goes aggressive instead of running clock. Perfect placement by Stroud.

Next up is Northwestern, and if the Buckeyes don't figure out their running game against them I am going to pout. See you then!
