Oh trust me...I agree.

 

I just really hope the D can hold it together for this game.  

I just hope our offense can keep it rolling. I have no expectation of our defense doing much to slow them down. Outscoring them in a high scoring affair will be the only way. If Purdue can beat them like they did, anything is possible.

I’m pretty impressed with how many people act like the spread dictates how the game will actually go. I picked 4 pretty heavy favorites this last week and not one of them covered and actually all 4 lost straight up. They play the games for a reason.

Yeah I’m pretty sure Purdue was a 2 touchdown dog when they played Ohio state too . I think the Huskers are playing better than we were when we played Purdue , so anything can happen . Last year OSU totally dominated us and i don’t see that happening again .

Yea I am with @MichiganDad3 here. OSUs strengths line up with our weaknesses. They may well throw for 70 times again this week, but it will be because it is working so well. We will do well enough against the run but our pass defense isn't good and their pass offense is really good.

If we could stop the slant to the slot receiver, we would ruin every OC's game plan........Why we can not seem to stop that (EVER) is beyond me.  Talent?  Scheme?

I think chin is blitzing more trying to get pressure on the QB . The best way to beat a blitz is screens and short passes getting the ball out of the QBs hands quickly . I think other teams OCs are reading the blitzes  and adjusting .

All I want is a nice competitive game that comes to the fourth quarter. I hope we win and I will remain optimistic no matter what. If we lose by 10 points or less, it will be a good result. I will still hope for the miracle win. God knows he owes us one this season.

I just want to see Ohio State punt at least 3 times

I'd be pretty happy if we could keep it to 21 points. But I have a feeling that it could turn into a pretty bad embarrassing beat-down with the way out defense has performed up to this point this year.

Good advice, I'll be in my bunker waiting for the blowout blast to pass.

Woah, now. It's only year 1.

We won't be able to stop their offense, our defense is just to s#!tty.  Best we can hope for is to hold them in the 40's and hope our offense can get there too.  

 

I would be thrilled with a loss by 7 or less.
