Can i use OSPF if i have 2 router connected buy a switch
 
Yes, ospf uses multicast and that should pass through the switch. no problem here.
 
If you only have two routers, why even bother configuring a routing protocol? Static routes would be more than sufficient, unless you want to configure OSPF just for the experience.
 
what i have is 2 routers with internet on them then a few more connecting up to them want to be able if one site goes down switch over to the other site
 
Ah, then OSPF is a great idea. Are you also running BGP or are you using static routing for Internet access?
 
the firewalls are sonicwalls that support ospf, right now static routes is what i am using
