James Laurinaitis is the face of the Ohio State defense and he knows nothing less than a win at USC his what his Ohio State Buckeyes need. The Buckeyes have yet to be a top rated team when it really mattered and here is another chance for his team to do something about it. Chris Wells has been cleared to play so that helps out Ohio State as well. They will need all the firepower they can get against the USC Trojan defense that is very good indeed.
Ohio State does not have to take a backseat to them as the Buckeye defense last year was the best in the land and look to improve on a subpar performance against Ohio University last Saturday. USC meanwhile has had a week off and I really do not know if they will effect them a lot or will they be the USC team we know. I like Ohio State in this game as they cannot afford to lose this game where USC can. I like the Buckeyes by a field goal 27-24.
