OSU hasn't been playing great lately, that can change very rapidly. If they come out and play like they have the last 3 games or so NU has a chance. I actaully like our matchups against their defense better than Wisconsin. They are probably more athletic over all than Whisky, but they don't play as good of team defense.
I think our defense can hold up fairly well. They need to commit to stopping the run and making them beat us with the pass. Barrett hasn't looked super sharp on his downfield stuff lately. His percentage is still pretty high but it is a lot of bubble/screen stuff.
