Our Buckeyes just just rolled up 572 yards of total offense on a defense predicted to be one of the tops in the country.  This happened despite missing a few parts, having more turnovers and miscues than we would like, and Braxton playing his first ever game at a new position.  

On Saturday, they play a Hawaii team that will be totally over-matched. What are the odds of the Buckeyes increasing the total offense in the VT game by 25%, therefore surpassing 700 yards? Remember that special teams and the defense  may limit opportunities by scoring touchdowns, and also shorten the field for the offense, further limiting the potential yardage per possession.  Remember also that for a significant part of the game, the offense may be operating behind the second team OL, a unit that collectively has virtually no game experience, and that we may have (yet another) third string quarterback in the game before it's all over.
