"I hope Nebraska looks at this tape and realizes they can't run on us," OSU defensive end Nathan Williams told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Ohio St. will be facing a rushing attack that ranks 5th in the country. It'll be a great game to watch. However, NEB has to turn it up a notch during it's night games away from Lincoln. Should be an awesome game. Keep up the trash talk opponents....it didn't work out so well for Gilbert and Wiscy.

When will these idiots learn.

[hskrfan4life]

We can use this. GO BIG RED!

[Chaddyboxer]

What's surprising to me and I've never said this about NEB in the past couple years, but NEB honestly has the most talent and best looking offense on paper in the conference thus far. I wasn't able to say that in past under Pelini, ever. Keep it up Beck and Co!!!

abdullah looks totally different from last year. he has matured a ton in just one year.

[The Spirit of Bob Devaney]

When you stop and think about the comment, it is actually pretty smart of Willisms to say that.

 

These guys have a secondary with more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese. With a pass defense ranked 94th in the country, the last thing these guys want to see is us go to the air.

Statistically, Wisconsin had a very good run defense too.

[Haspula]

We always find a way to wear run defenses down. See Wisconsin 2012

[Foppa]

True. But a half-yard here, a call there...and they would've been right. This was hardly a thrashing.

Rex > Leveon

NU OL >> MSU OL

Martinez can run and throw

 

Yep, I'm sure NU's looking at that tape thinking, "Man, tOSU is SCARY good run defense."

[Danny Bateman]

Yeah, but Foppa... that's with us shooting ourselves in the foot OVER and OVER again in the first half.

 

If the D comes out and plays with the fire it had in the 2nd half of the last game, and the O continues to just grind and grind and grind their D down, I think we've got a good shot. More than a puncher's chance. Our offense's MO (when it's not crapping the bed in the big games-- S. Carolina, 2011 Wiscy, 2011 Michigan) is to just work and work on a D. And by the time the 3rd and 4th quarters roll around, we're still plugging away and doing whatever it is that we want, while they're gassed.

 

The key is playing smart enough on O and playing good ENOUGH D (doesn't have to be perfect) in order to keep us within striking distance at that point in the game. If we are, I expect to win this game.

Love to hear stuff like this. As if we didn't need anymore motivation going to the Shoe.

 

As long as we don't turn the ball over early and dig ourselves in another hole.

 

I have a great feeling, that's all I'm going to say.

Plus 1 to the pic of Rex, Ameer, and Taylor......what more needs to be said.

We are going to have to play very smart on the defensive side of the ball! Need to keep our gap integrity and be very responsible with their different pitchmen on their zone read plays. If we miss an assignment they have alot of talent on their offense in open space. I think we want Braxton Miller to throw the ball.

Offensively pretty simple make them stop you rather than stopping ourself. Turnovers and penalties have been killing us especially early in the game(UCLA, Wisky). I think we can eventually wear them down and break off some runs late in this game! It's gonna be close but there is no question we have the talent to win and win on the road! GBR!
