One key to watch in this game is field position after kickoffs.
The Bucs have basically given up on kickoff coverage while the Panthers are one of the best.

Oregon ran a successful play on just 18% of rushing plays in the first half against Texas Tech.

It’s going to be a shame when Texas Tech’s defense wears down in the second half because their offense has been brutal leading Oregon to run almost 50 first half plays.

College QB’s need to learn to throw the ball away and avoid negative plays.
Texas Tech needs to flip the field but taking a bad sack gives Oregon good field position again. Those yards add up.

QB, OL, run game, whatever it is, it’s unacceptable for a team of that caliber.

Ohio State scored 41 points in three games against quality defenses this year.
A team that has Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate has to put up better offensive numbers than that against top competition.

And that’s the problem with Ohio State…Jeremiah Smith is the best player in the country and if you have one breakdown, they’re back in the game.
Miami was always a super high floor team with how good their trench play is.
They have stuffed Ohio State in a locker, on both sides of the ball, so far tonight.
