i think the Gophers are gonna be ready, we are going to have to win this game they are not going to punk out and lose it
stoked to see Stroud who I think throws one of the better balls I have ever seen
ALSO stoked to see Miyan Williams (hopefully) get some carries.

I wonder how much the weather could play into this game, been seeing some different reports on the rain showers that will be moving in right at game time.
I’m interested in the defense, we know what the offense will be able to do. But can the defense be better than last year, especially the secondary?

Fleck can motivate so Minnesota will throw everything they've got to stay in the game. First games can be messy so with any luck OSU can jump on them early. I want to see the special teams play.

Harry Miller did not travel with the team due to COVID. Not ideal for a new starting QB in a game where it could likely rain.

Miller is a loose cannon. Gotta stay away from those poetry readings during football season

Well, we now know one of the reported 10 players who refused to get themselves vaccinated. We see the results of their refusal, Harry Miller will suffer the consequences and so will the team. Evidently, some never learned from our big hit, prior to the Alabama game.

Another one, of the ten that didn't learn a thing from the positive Covid results prior to the Alabama game. The team will suffer as a result, hope they can get the win and learn from this. I know I'm making premature assumptions here, especially Brown who has fought back from an achilles injury and maybe he aggravated it, who really knows.

At least we shouldn’t be as hamstrung with his absence considering Minnesota will likely rely on a steady dose of running behind their mammoth line. I’m guessing maybe Watts will step in for Brown. If nothing else, it will give these younger pups some reps.

I'm curious if Quinn Ewers was permitted to travel with the team.
I'm excited to see Treyveon Henderson do his magic on the return team, whichever that might be. Kick returners are mere figureheads these days, with the new rules, so perhaps punt returner.

GAOTEOTE, EWERS, SEIBERT are off the traveling team this week. Two are predictable, but Seibert is not.

Seibert isn’t there because they brought two other kickers. Doubt they want to bring 3.

Buckeye offense caught Minnie with it's pants down. Defense wasn't set and Williams took care of business. If the Buckeyes can get up a couple td's, big advantage Buckeyes. Minnesota is a possession, ball control offense.

Poor defensive alignment on minnie long run. Got out guessed on that one then sent big guy out on our small dback for td. Got to regain control, score and then score to start 2nd

Stroud a little rattled. First big game for him in 2 years. Offensive line letting some pressure on him too.
Defense way too many missed tackles.

Pound the rock with Teague and Miyan. Stop trying to showcase the QB position. Don't go all 2015 MSU on us.

Secondary is suspect. Got to score to start 2nd half or in trouble, especially if weather turns ugly.

I hate the swinging door at RB. Should have continued with Miyan and got him in a groove. That’s exactly what Minny is doing with Ibrahim. And the tackling has been suspect.

Time for the 4 and 5 star studs to step up. This isn't Bishop Sycamore anymore.

Offense seems out of sync. Was surprised no jet sweeps or designed qb runs. Stroud will be better in 2nd half, if not we go home with a big fat L. Got all these weapons but shooting a lot of blanks in that 1st half.

The OL is coming off the ball and blowing holes. I want to see Treyveon on a bubble screen, he is so elusive in space, could be to the house.

Can osu make any more mistakes? We are not good and Minnesota is not good either. Is this going to be a Harbaugh type year?
