TSB Staff Picks: Ohio State vs. Oregon: The Buckeyes travel to Autzen for a Top 3 showdown against the Oregon Ducks.

David: The Buckeyes pickup a massive win on the road. Ohio State 34 Oregon 24

Blake: Ohio State and Oregon are two of the best teams in the country. This will be one of the Games of the Year. Oregon’s defensive line could present matchup issues up front for the Ohio State offensive line. Can the Buckeyes depend not eh running game and does Will Howard get a clean pocket? Those are two keys to the game. I picked Oregon to win this game in the preseason. Ultimately, I think the skill position players takeover late as the Buckeyes win thriller. Ohio State 27 Oregon 20

Dan: Oregon’s defense was exposed by Boise State and Chip Kelly will have the Ohio State offense prepared to do the same Will Howard shows the world he is an elite college quarterback and stuns the Ducks at home. The defense does their part and makes critical stops at key moments. Buckeyes win a classic! Ohio State 31 Oregon 28

Cass: Buckeyes face their toughest challenge this season when they travel to Oregon. I really think the Buckeyes will be up for the challenge. If Ohio State establishes the run like which ultimately I think they will giving how much better the offensive line is getting. I really see a strong day out of the running backs and I think Chip Kelly will throw things out there we haven’t seen before.

Defensively I think how good our DBs are will be the difference on how Dillon Gabriel plays Oregon does have some good receivers especially with Tez Johnson I still think if Oregon can’t establish a running game it could be a long night for Gabriel against this pass rush. In what should be a great game, the Buckeyes prevail. Ohio State 27 Oregon 18

Carson H: This team sometimes starts slow, but once they turn it on, they can explode and put up points on anyone. I expect the offense to put some longer drives together and the defense to make enough plays to limit Oregon’s at-times explosive offense. A key turnover in the second half by the defense and a Judkins touchdown right after will help seal the game as Ohio State earns an enormous victory to remain undefeated. Ohio State 34 Oregon 24

Carson M: I think Ohio State gets caught off guard and the power of Autzen is too much the first time around. The Buckeyes see them again in the playoffs this season. Tough loss. Oregon 35 Ohio State 21

Kaleb: The Buckeyes show up ready and win comfortably. Ohio State 38 Oregon 20 

Trent: I think the Buckeyes win a hard fought game. Ohio State 38 Oregon 27

AJ: The Bucks win in a more defensive showing. Gabriel throws 2 picks and Judkins and Henderson combine for 200 total yards. Carnell Tate breakout game as well. Ohio State 24 Oregon 13
