Bottom line for our squad....no pressure whatsoever. No one expects them to win. Not the media, not the voters in the polls, not Ohio State, not college football fans...hell probably most of us don't expect to win. In fact, deep down even our guys don't expect to win. I know our players know they can win...but they probably don't expect to win. Is there anything wrong with that??? ABSOLUTELY NOT! You know why?? It allows our kids to play loose.
I say go in there...have fun, let it all hang out and give it your best shot. Play with emotion and don't leave anything out on the field. I hope the coaches take risks and the players believe in themselves. I KNOW they can win even if I don't expect it. That is okay!! That is why we play the games.
I feel like at times this season our coaches coached not to lose...like against Army and Temple. Temple bit us in the butt. Do I think we are better than Temple...yes, I do? If we play that game 10 times I think we win 7 or 8 times out of ten...but on that day, our coaches coached not to lose.
There is zero pressure....they are the defending national champs. They are the number 1 team in the land. They are the ones with heisman candidates...like Elliott. We are the hunters now...they are the hunted. Let's go PSU...win or lose, I will be proud of our kids and I would not trade them for any of the OSU players. We are....
