Could Ohio State Beat the Browns?

Recommended Posts

62% of Ohioans seem to think so. What do you think?

 

Personally, I think the Browns would wipe the floor with them. Their o-line would bulldoze the way for Crowell to run for 275/5 and Pryor would make their secondary look like children. Final score: 68-10.

I will take this opportunity to say that I have actually been surprised by the competitiveness of the Browns thus far this year. Starting as many rookies and first timers as they are, I actually figured they were going their asses handed to them every week. They are going to get an epic beatdown this weekend from the Pat though. With that in mind, they would destroy the Buckeyes.

An NFL team would win by a minimum of 70-0. A college team would never score against a pro team. It would be an embarrassment.

It would never happen, of course....but I would love to see it.

Sure, but pro teams get embarrassed all the time. All it would take is one DB to fall down on one play and you've got a moon shot TD. They wouldn't win, but they would likely score.

No college offensive line could handle NFL d-linemen. No college QB could read NFL defenses. They would live in the backfield.

 

Tunsil, Fisher, Joeckel...these are guys that were rated as some of the best collegiate offensive linemen. And they had their lunch handed to them thus far. Imagine a freshman guard or tackle that wasn't good enough for the pros.

All I'm saying is Buffalo skunked the Pats last week. Surprising stuff happens all the time. For a college team to score against a pro team is not unbelievable. Again, they wouldn't win, but scoring points would still be likely.

If they did not have Pryor I would say yes. The thing is that in the NFL Pryor is not a qb. Against a college team he would focking shred them as a QB.

Short of the Browns' team bus crashing on the way to the stadium, no.

 

A better question is "Could an all-rookie team beat the Browns?"

not even close... Every guy on that Browns team was a college stud. Not every guy on the Buckeye's is a college stud. It's that simple. The Browns would destroy whomever is #1 in college, every single time.

Fan of both teams, but the people that said OSU could beat the Browns are delusional. People ask these things all the time for various teams not doing well, and people about always think one of the top college teams could beat a bottom level NFL team. A college team wouldn't be able to stop a NFL team from ramming the ball down their throat imo.

The trenches would be a joke and the Browns would murder them. Think at even the worst players in the NFL were highly regarded As the best players in college. Wasn't Gabbert the best qb in the nation?

1 has a tradition of winning and the other losing!

 

Friend of mine stopped over to watch a game, the Browns kicked a field goal and my dog did a flip. My friend asked what happens if the Browns score a touchdown ? Told my friend i only had the dog a few years.

Any brain dead Ohioans care to weigh in?

 

Must be 3 Ohioans on these boards, giving us (at least) 2 brain dead ones. Why did you vote for State.

Yeah but they've been starting over since they came back into the league. What a horrible franchise. Terrible from ownership all the way down to the janitor. The NFL needs to deal with the extremely diluted talent pool problem and they can start by getting rid of the Browns and Jaguars franchises. It's addition by subtraction. Sorry but the Browns are the defacto epitome of SUCK.

Can they just make it happen so we can see the massacre and idiots can stop bringing up this argument or question?

This is always a ridiculous argument. Does OSU have some players that are NFL material? Of course.

However the Browns have 53 players that already are. They play against NFL talent each week. OSU never does.

Even OSU's best players would be mismatched because of that.

Also, not that up on OSU's playbook but a lot of college plays and formations would get destroyed by NFL teams. So they would be limited.

Any place OSU has a weakness on the field at the college level would get exploited so badly by an NFL team it would be criminal.

They would probably have to do like they did in the Clemson game a few weeks ago and play shorter quarters in the 2nd half if not call it altogether.

Now that is a good read. This game of college all stars against an NFL team ended before I was cognitive of football, but the college boys ended up with a record of 9-31-2 against the pro team:

 

"And yet, every so often the all-stars would manage to put a scare into the pros. After coming within a red-zone fumble and a goal line stand of offing the undefeated 1972 Dolphins—what an asterisk that would have made for!—the all-stars delivered another heart-stopper in ’75, when they fell to the Steel Curtain Steelers by a mere touchdown."

 

 

Although we are far too P.C. to have any such game today ("One of those young boys might get hurt, heaven forbid!"), and I still have little doubt that the pro team (even the Browns) would dominate.....perhaps the question isn't as absurd as some of you were suggesting.

I remember a long time ago there was an interview with Michael Irving when he was still playing football and asked that exact same question. Miami had been national champions and were a dynasty when he played for them. He said that while playing for "The U" he firmly believed that they were good enough to compete in the NFL. He then went on to say that after his very first PRESEASON game he knew that there was no way they could have even competed against NFL caliber. Its that much of a difference.

You have a team with maybe a handful of future NFL rookies, against a team full of NFL players (previously, college all-stars), most with years of NFL experience. No comparison.

 

I'd love to see it happen, though. Reminds me of the "Williams sisters vs men" debate. And that Karsten Braasch guy (ranked 203 in the world at the time), smoked both of them.
