I usually like the perspective and analysis Josh Pate gives. He has been pretty pro-OSU all year and he gave a great segment on NIL vs. development a few days back for anyone who saw it. Following are a couple tidbits from his show today:
Josh Pate on his show said did you know Ohio State pass defense was 2nd in the nation? The pass defense is #2 in CFB vs RB's and TE's but they are 109th vs WR's. What is Georgia's passing profile? It's not 4 and 5 wide to WR's. 3/4 top pass catchers are RB's and TE's OSU strength

Pate ending his Ohio State segment said their model has Georgia -5.5 instead of Vegas -6.5. Georgia is going to heavily blitz Stroud because he won't run. End it by saying he's taking the Dawgs because he doesn't trust OSU to go all in and jump off that cliff like Georgia will.

Notices he uses "jump off that cliff". Pate uses that terminology in this video below about Stroud as well, giving the same narrative and perspective a good majority of OSU fans seem to have about CJ. "Very good player but he won't go over the cliff.. he does 'not have that in him'".
Great Segment by @LateKickJosh breaking down CJ Stroud / OSU vs UGA. Preaching to the choir. Play it in the Woody. Every OSU fan should retweet this. @Menace2Sports @jbook37 @MrOH1O pic.twitter.com/JQgbxFqi4P
