The Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Oklahoma Sooners in one of the college football games on Saturday, September 17, 2016 start time at 7:30 PM ET, at Memorial Stadium, Norman, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma also features one of the best RB tandems in the country with Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon and there’s a good chance the young Buckeye defense will struggle with the rushing attack early on in the game. “I did enjoy watching them play”, he said.
“There’s a lot of similarities, but there’s still a lot of differences in how they utilize their personnel”, Stoops said.
-Ohio State defensive coordinator is Greg Schiano, who previously served as head coach at Rutgers before taking the head gig for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “It’s getting that way”.
If Ohio State needed any more motivation, Kendall’s words have provided another rallying point. When you play a team like this (Ohio State), they stress you from sideline to sideline. It’s hard to ask a youngster to absorb so much responsibility on his third game. “I think we can go out there and, I mean, Baker, he’ll light them up”.
Mayfield finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting last season, and led Oklahoma to a Big 12 title and a berth to the College Football Playoff.
And the game has two marquee quarterbacks. Oklahoma is led by their quarterback Baker Mayfield. Barrett had 55 yards and two touchdowns.
His offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach was Tom Herman, who left to become Houston’s head coach previous year.
Oklahoma is hoping good things come their way in prime time Saturday night.
Heavy is a bit more bullish on Ohio State’s chances in the game.
Houston coach Tom Herman landed the job after mastering Urban Meyer’s offense at Ohio State.
Ohio State and Oklahoma will play quite possibly the most exciting game on the college football docket on Saturday, a game that conjures up memories of games past, while also firing up recent grads of the schools.
It’s probably too close to call. The other side of that is they got to see how you want to play it. Of if you have lucky drawers. Oklahoma seemed to find the right combination on the offensive line, and it appears like the best five are in the starting lineup – something that offensive line Bill Bedenbaugh is always looking for. There’s nothing luck has to do with it. “It has a lot of things that could happen after”. That’s being prepared and part of our workouts.
Including on the list are a handful of games between teams now ranked in the AP Top 25, with the attention expected to circle around those ranked v ranked matchups.
The duties of leading the offense for OSU fall on the shoulders of redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett.
