That's my mentality too. With the turnovers being so prevalent in this year's game, a good D can help you win the turnover battle. And less passing means less chance of interception. I've only played 3 games online, and I won them all because the other guys were forcing passes and got intercepted. So I didn't beat them, they beat themselves. All I did was not take chances, run the draws or throw short/safe passes on 3rd and long, and play a field position game.

Ohio State - great defense and Chris Wells/Maurice Wells/Brandon Saine at HB is a killer rushing team. Plus there is a mobile QB in Antonio Henton who can run the option (although it's to be used in moderation, Henton is just serviceable at running the option because of his propencity to not pitch the ball or pitch it wildly).

Oklahoma
