It will be strength vs Strength when Ohio State’s smash mouth run oriented offense meets the premier athletes on LSU’s defense. The Buckeyes 39th ranked offense is pretty vanilla as they just use their massive offensive line to maul opponents to set up the run. SBGglobal.com has LSU as -3.5 point betting favorites in the Ohio State Buckeyes vs LSU Tigers BCS Championship game.

Ohio State RB Chris Wells is the engine that makes the offense go, with his 4.5 speed propelling his 240 LB. body to run over defenders. Wells is a future NFL first-rounder and he is coming off a fine season that saw him gain 5.8 yards per carry for 1,463 yards and 14 TD’s. LSU has NFL 1st round talents with DT Glenn Dorsey and LB Ali Highsmith who lead an LSU defense that was 16th in the nation in points allowed. LSU however has been vulnerable to runs up the middle which could be a problem against an in-between the tackles runner like Wells. Well’s powerful runs sets up the play-action pass that QB Todd Boeckman executes terrifically. SBGglobal.com has the TOTAL at 48 points for the BCS Championship game.
Boeckman is the son of a coach and it shows in his excellent understanding of the game. Boeckman is a pocket passer with a gun for an arm but he is prone to mistakes is slow footed. Boeckman does have two athletic all-effort wideouts in Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline who have great hands and know how to get open. Ray Small is a deep threat for Boeckmam and all three should have an advantage over LSU’s secondary. LSU is aggressive and they are excellent at forcing turnovers. One player to watch for is Tigers DE Tyson Jackson who is a disruptive force. Ohio State has a very good placekicker in Ryan Pretorius who has 50+ yard range and has hit 81% of his field goals.
