The 2009 Ohio State Buckeye have a great schedule this season, not too easy and not too hard. Now I am going to give my thoughts on all of the games of the 2009 OSU football season.
Game 1: Game 1 is a match up between two good teams, Ohio State vs. Navy. Buckeye fans, don't automatically think it is an easy win for the men in the scarlet and gray, the Navy does well against many other good teams such as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Buckeyes can win this game if they focus on each play, not each drive or the game next Saturday vs. Southern California. If the Buckeyes focus on each play, both sides of the ball, Ohio State should get a win on the board.
Game 2: The Buckeyes will face the always tough University of Southern California Trojans. Last year the Buckeyes did horrible against the Trojans, but this year with Pryor, the Buckeyes will have a better QB, however with Laurinaitis and a lot of the Defense leaving, it will be hard to stop the great offense of USC. Also with Beanie Wells now in the NFL, the Buckeyes will not have as great of a running back, we'll see what BOOM can do though. So if the Buckeyes can play the best game ever, they have a chance to get a HUGE win.
Game 3: Game 3 is at the Browns stadium in Cleveland, Ohio will be a match up between two teams that beat Michigan last year, Toledo and Ohio State. Ohio State should be able to win, with the great athletic skills of Pryor and BOOM the Buckeyes should come up with a great victory.
Game 4: Game 4 is at Ohio Stadium as it is the Buckeyes first Big Ten game of the season, it will be against the always competitive rivals, Illinois Fighting Illini. Last year in the second to last game of the season Ohio State got a close victory 30-20, the previous year the Fighting Illini got a 7 point victory, the Buckeyes will need to play with an attitude in this game just like they did last year, if not Illinois may come up with an upset.
Game 5: Game 5 should be an easy win as the Buckeyes will try to beat the mediocre Indian Hosiers. Ohio State always does good vs. Indiana and I don't expect this game to be any different, Ohio State should go into Bloomington and get a win.
Game 6: Game 6 will probably be another nail-biter just like last year, when Ohio State battled against the Badgers of Wisconsin. This year with most of the great defensive players gone, OSU will need to stop big plays and the offense will need to be smart and not have any turn overs, if both of those things come into play, Ohio State can manage to get a victory over the Badgers. Go Buckeyes!!!!
Game 7: Game 7 is against Purdue, seems like an easy win for the Buckeyes, but last year no touchdowns were scored by either team, so this year Ohio State will try to score touchdowns and get another victory against the Boilmakers. Hopefully this game will not be a boring one to watch.
Game 8: Game 8 will be the homecoming game vs the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Last year Ohio State got an easy win I don't expect this one to be any different, the Gophers are not that great of a team and OSU should be able to easily beat this team.
Game 9: Game 9 is a match up between a Big Team and a WAC team. The Bucks will take on the New Mexico State Aggies. I do not know much about the Aggies, but I do think OSU should be able to get a good win over them. However I think this will be an entertaining game to watch.
Game 10: This game will be another great Big Ten game, it'll be the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Penn State Nitany Lions. Last year Penn State beat Ohio State in a very, very close and scary game, it was when Pryor fumbled the ball that gave Penn State a sealed win, that play still haunts many Buckeye fans like me. This yeah Pryor will be better and will be smarter, in an interview Pryor said "I am gonna try to get the ball into the receivers hands more this season, and not use my legs as much." If Pryor can pass better and get it to an open receivers hands, Ohio State has a good chance to win the game. Also the Defense will have to help out the OSU offense by holding Penn State to minimum yardage and prevent big plays.
Game 11: Game 11 is when the Iowa Hawkeyes will challenge the Buckeyes of Ohio State. This will not be an easy win for OSU, infact Iowa is the only team that beat PSU in the regular season, and the only Big Ten team to win a bowl game. The Buckeyes will have to play good on both sides of the ball to get this win, it should be a great game.
Game 12, aka THE GAME: The Buckeyes will go to that state up North and play in the biggest rivalry in any sport, THE GAME (michigan vs. Ohio State) . The Buckeyes have won 5 strait vs. the miaze and blue. Michigan will try to get a win and be the happiest team in the United States, but the Buckeyes should be able to hold them off. Last year the Buckeyes beat them 42-7 and showed no mercy, if the Buckeyes played as good as they did last seasin/year the Buckeyes should get even more Gold Pants.
The 2009 Ohio State Buckeye have a great schedule this season, not too easy and not too hard. Now I am going to give my thoughts on all of the games of the 2009 OSU football season.
