Ohio State at Navy

Everything looked to be falling in place for Ohio State to make a run at the National Championship this season. That opportunity took a blow when Braxton Miller went down for the season, but don't feel sorry for the Buckeyes. They have one of the best coaches in the country in Urban Meyer, and his recruiting class, and holdovers, are loaded with stars and stars to be. Defensively, the Buckeyes return all 11 starters, and have tremendous depth. Navy has been good the past few years, but not as good as they were in the few years prior. This is a tall task for a team that is going to giving up a weight and strength edge, as well as speed on both sides of the ball in the trenches. Navy works off the triple option and it is a precision, high-risk offense, and early in the season, especially against perhaps the best defense they will see all season, it will be too much for them to stay in touch for four quarters. Lay the points and play on Ohio State.
