So far, a zillion suspensions, the departure of starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor and coach Jim Tressel\u2019s resignation haven\u2019t been enough to stop the No. 17 Ohio State Buckeyes. Can they improve to 3-0 at Miami this week? <\/p>\n
NCAAF Week 3: Ohio State vs. Miami (Florida)<\/strong> Ohio State Buckeyes (2-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n In reality, while the 2-0 record looks nice on paper, life hasn\u2019t been all that easy for Ohio State. Under interim head coach Luke Fickell, the Buckeyes cruised past Akron in Week 1. But Week 2 was a different story. At home to Toledo, they were favored by 12.5 points at most books, but they barely escaped with a victory.<\/p>\n The Buckeyes trailed by a point late in the fourth quarter before Carlos Hyde sealed a 27-22 win by running for a score with 3:17 left on the clock.<\/p>\n Is this team ready to face Miami on the road? The Buckeyes have been solid on \u201cD\u201d but it\u2019s tough to gauge their offense. Quarterback Joe Bauserman has four touchdown passes in two games but hasn\u2019t hit the 200-yard mark in either victory. The \u2019Canes will test him.<\/p>\n Miami Hurricanes (0-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n Miami can certainly relate to Ohio\u2019s plight, as it, too is a high-profile program tainted by scandal and suspensions to start the 2011 season. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Miami played without suspended starting quarterback Jacory Harris in Week 1 and his absence showed. Backup quarterback Stephen Morris couldn\u2019t recapture the form he flashed last season, throwing for just 190 yards, no touchdowns and two picks. Danny O\u2019Brien also torched the Hurricanes for 348 passing yards.<\/p>\n CFB Wagering Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Under is 8-1-2 in OHIST last 11 road games. The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n All hope is not lost, as most of Miami\u2019s Week-1 troubles are already remedied on paper entering their home game this week. Harris has been reinstated and instantly upgrades the \u2019Canes\u2019 passing game. Also, O\u2019Brien looks like a pretty special passer. Miami\u2019s athletic defense should have a much easier time against the unproven Bauserman. Their rushing attack looked good in the loss to Maryland; Lamar Miller ripped off 119 yards and a score on 18 carries.<\/p>\n The Hurricanes are at home, they\u2019re the more talented team and they\u2019re facing an Ohio State team that narrowly got by Toledo at home. All signs point to a Miami win if you ask me.<\/p>\n Ohio State vs Miami prediction: <\/strong>Miami 24, Ohio State 13<\/p>\n Money Line: OFF The 2011 CFB Season is finally here.
