Well the last 2 weeks of the regular season are here and we face what appears to be the new big brother of that beautiful yet horrible state up north. My most important questions are as followed
1. How will the run defense play and can they find a good balance of blitzing and keeping that monster RB in check? 2. Can Stroud excel on this huge stage and show why he is “The Man?” 3. Will Henderson take the opportunity to put on a show and say “Walker who!” 4. Will we have a sellout crowd? 5. Maybe the most important, does the Buckeyes put up big points or just enough to win?

MSU has the worst pass defense in the country. AND that is without yet having played against the best passing offense in the country.
Yep, this is not like 2014 when they had to curb stomp Wisconsin to get in.

Last home game of the season and it’s a huge game. I think it’ll be a sellout.

I wasn’t sure if they had sold out yet. I looked at tickets two weeks ago and man they had some phenomenal seats for only 170 and that seems cheap for a showdown of this proportion.
I didn’t know MSU’s pass defense was that bad, that will be a breath of fresh air in comparison to what I’ve seen from our beloved buckeyes.

I think this is a route for the buckeyes. Olave and Wilson will run circles around the Spartans. OSU covers and wins by 21+ onto that team up North.

I’m waiting for the buckeyes to reveal new packages and never before seen plays. These last two weeks (getting a little ahead of myself) shaped up to be much much more important than I think anyone thought it would at the beginning of the season.
If Stroud can rise to the occasion and prove himself to be elite (already is in many ways) but can he really start that fire of “yes I have the IT factor.”
What would make me happier than a clam would be to see Henderson explode on the field Iike my first post and out due Walker in the ground game.
Final score 45-21 Buckeyes.

If Stroud runs then they will win. That’s how this works right?

We score early and establish a comfortable lead, that wrecks MSU's game plan. Their game plan will be running between the tackles, moving the markers and running the clock.

Next week’s game scares me much more than this one. MSU plays right into our strengths. Even so, I think we win both by double digits.

Hoping we get the ball into our playmakers hands. It sounds like a real difference in speed of players between the two teams on both sides of the ball. Score TD’s in the red zone.
On defense hoping to see a heavy dose of Steele Chambers at LB. I think we’re going to go all out to stop Walker. Last weeks game featured a future NFL QB,, not this week. It sounds like a WR may be out for MSU or at least dinged up. I read the same regarding some new schemes on defense possibly as the rotation gets smaller.
OSU 45 MSU 21

The Buckeyes and Spartans have center stage, with this being everybody's 'game of the week' If the Buckeyes shine, like I expect them to, this should elevate them to #2 or #3 in CFB rankings.

Looks like eSECpn's College Game Day is Columbus today. Hopefully, Herbstreit and Fowler are not on the call for ABC at Noon. Next week at TTUN, Fox has that game at Noon. I expect eSECpn Game Day to be up North too, They're hoping for Ohio State to lose either game, To give a free ticket to a 2 loss Alabama, When Georgia beats them in their championship game

God's ballz. It is pretty obvious Stroud was playing hurt early in the season. He is slingin' it.

I like that we are coming out with a hurry, no huddle up offense! No complacency, take it to 'em from the get go and force MSU out of their game strategy of ball control and clock management.

A lot of holding no calls going on with MSU OL.

Two perfectly thrown balls on the first two TD passes of the game. There is no question CJ is the best QB in the country.

Remember when most of you wanted Stroud benched? 🤔 Hey I’ll admit I was not impressed with him right away but ever since that week he took off against Akron he’s been a different player. He’s been money today.

The question suddenly becomes; Is this the best team in America, right here, right now? Time to put to bed, the time warped fixation on the week #2 upset. This team is playing phenominal football, offensively, defensively and special teams!

I think the up tempo is a big part of it. Especially when the QB is on. Fast break basketball when your pg is shoooting 90%

THE BIG question in the 2nd half. Who plays QB after the first drive? Not CJ, can't get him hurt. Not McCord, Ryan Day wants to redshirt him. Not Miller, just came off suspension. Will it be a walk-on or Ewers?

The Buckeye defense is playing 'lights out'. If this team is not sitting at #2, come Tuesday night, then there is something seriously wrong with the system.

Remember when most of you wanted Stroud benched? 🤔 I wasn’t sold and now I am. He has morphed into an elite QB. Nothing wrong with wanting to test drive the Cadillac before buying it. These boys look posed and dangerous. TTUN, better pray Covid strips 90% of the buckeyes because it will get even worse in a weekZ these guys are just playing in an completely different level.

Kyle McCord didn't make much of a case for himself, with that limp toss into the arms of a defender.
C.J. just solidified his place at the top of Heisman hopefuls, with a sterling 32-35 for 432 yds.
