That prediction made me wonder, so I checked and I was surprised. OSU has given up more than 25 points just once this year, 31 at Minnesota. Other highs were 25 v. Texas, 24 v. Michigan St., and 21 at Michigan. They gave up 10 or fewer points 5 times(N'western, SDSU, @Indiana, Iowa, Illinois). Not trying to make anything of your prediction, just seeing it got me thinking, and what I found I thought was interesting. I agree with you completely. If Texas, who scores 50.9 PPG and get on average 522 yards per game can't put up 27 against OSU, I don't see Notre Dame, who scores 38.2 PPG and gets on average 505.4 YPG, putting up 27.When it comes to offense: Charlie Weis > Mack Brown JMHO. Although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the game ends up being lower-scoring than that.
