....PSU's Offense is keyed by their running game and believe this game will swing on whether ND can control our rushing attack without having to bring SS up in run support.
However, the one that surprises me is how little attention is being paid to Texas' Defense against the duhO$U Offense. I don't think duhO$U is nearly the lock that the b2g talking heads seem to think they are. duhO$U has won in the first two rounds off of the play of their offense (we already knew their D was one of the best in the nation); however, neither Tennessee or Oregon have the Defense (especially DL) that Texas has. This will be the best Defense duhO$U has faced in the Playoffs (and since scUM). Texas' Defense is better than scUM's (Texas Defense #3 in Offensive Yards Allowed Per Game, #4 in Points Per Game.... they have a top, top defense against both the run and pass). Just like I said about scUM before the duhO$U game, Texas has the type of Defense that gives the a legit shot in this game imho. Just like scUM made duhO$U's offense struggle, so to could Texas - if Texas contains duhO$U's offense, they have a very good shot at winning imo because Howard is not a good QB in ultra-low scoring games where he plays frustrated and ends up making bad decisions trying to be the hero....
Texan's Defense gives them a much better shot than many are claiming.
