Breakdown

The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will kickoff the season in a neutral setting as they get set to take on the No. 23 Boise State Broncos at Cowboys Stadium. Without the 100,000 screaming fans I would have dealt with at Columbus, I might have a shot at leading the Broncos to another historic upset over a Power 5 school.

I wouldn't bet on me.

To have a chance in this game, I need to keep the ball away from the Bucks' high-octane offense by controlling the clock and protecting the ball. That's easier said than done going against Ohio State's super-stacked defense.

Impact Buckeyes

RE Joey Bosa (98)

As a prospective Buckeye student, I hate this, but it's a pretty cool idea. I'll excuse your choice of team to take down. I would have picked Alabama, but that's just me.

I put 10 names into a hat and pulled them all out until I got the last one. Alabama was one of the names. Thanks for the feedback, truly appreciate it.

I had a NFL 2k5 chise here back in 2012 where I went against the Patriots. I ended up losing my file so it didn't last long. I been following you since the MaddenMania days. Much respect.
