Here is my analysis of this week’s bout between Ohio State and USC:

 

1)     Passing Game: USC

 

With Mark Sanchez at the helm, USC should be able to attack Ohio State through the air with ease. USC’s big receivers should only make their passing game more dangerous.

 

2)     Running Game: Ohio State

 

Beanie Wells may be the rest running back in college football, and if he plays, he’s a force to be reckoned with. In addition, Ohio State’s backup quarterback, Terrell Pryor, has the speed to make some serious contributions on the ground if utilized the right way.

 

USC has a history of struggling against mobile quarterbacks, and therefore I am giving the advantage in the running game to Ohio State. However, if Beanie Wells does not play due to injury, the balance in this facet of the game will undoubtedly change.
