Miami Hurricanes at Ohio State Buckeyes 2010 NCAAF Week 2 Odds, Preview, and Predictions: The Shoe will be rocking in Columbus Saturday afternoon when the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes host the No. 10 Miami (Fl) Hurricanes at 3:30 PM ET and the game can be seen on ESPN. This is an epic rematch of the 2003 Fiesta Bowl where the Ohio State Buckeyes were victorious over the Miami Hurricanes to win their first BCS National Championship in 32 years. Both teams are highly ranked nationally and field highly talented quarterbacks and stingy defenses. Head football coach Randy Shannon has his Cane’s on the rise improving in each of his seasons as their leader while head coach Jim Tressel has returned the Buckeyes to prominence and has played in six BCS bowl games since that 31-24 win over the Hurricanes. I can smell revenge in Miami. Vegas odds makers have the Ohio State Buckeyes a -8 1/2 point favorite at home against the Miami (Fl) Hurricanes.
Shannon’s Miami Hurricanes rolled in their home opener 45-0 over Florida A&M with an impressive offensive and defensive performance outdoing Florida A&M 405 to 110 in total yards. Quarterback Jacory Harris went 12 for 15 for 210 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. “I went out there and took care of my business,” Harris said. “As a team, we came out there and did everything we had to do in the first half, and coach sat us out for the rest of the game. I guess it was well-deserved.” Lamar Miller led the Canes rushing attack carrying the ball 11 times for 65 yards. Vegas odds makers have Jacory Harris at +1500 odds to win the Heisman Trophy.
The Ohio State Buckeyes also won big in their home opener thrashing the Marshall Thundering Herd 45-7 in Columbus. Heisman Candidate quarterback Terrelle Pryor looked in form completing 17 of 25 passes for 247 yards and 3 touchdowns as well as rushing 8 times for 17 yards. The running game balanced out the attack with Brandon Saine rushing 9 times for 103 yards and Jaamal Berry carrying 7 for 80 yards to lead the way. The defense held Marshall to 199 total yards and recovered 2 fumbles and had an interception. Odds makers at Brobury have the over/under for the total score at 47 points combined of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Miami (Fl) Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes come breezing into the Shoe with a chip on their shoulders and that old swagger back and although the game will be back and forth I predict a Miami victory.
