I’ll say it! TTUN is playing above their abilities. Reality will set in around 3:30-4:00 on Saturday.

When I think of those D-ends for TTUN, I hate to say it but I immediately think of Walker from MSU. We held a Heisman hopeful one of the most elite players in college football to JV running stats I refuse to believe if we can do that to him, we can’t account for two all big ten guys at most. TTUN is desperate, so desperate I would bet money something dirty is done. Someday we will lose to Michigan, it’s not a matter of if, but when. But that day isn’t next Saturday. I have all the confidence as long as Ryan Day, is our ball coach this will remain the most important game on the schedule. OSU held Walker to JV numbers because he only carried the ball six times. The best way to handle stud running backs is to get up quickly and force the opposing team to throw the ball. To their credit that’s exactly what OSU did to Sparty. They won’t have the luxury of neutralizing Hutch and Ojabo like that. They can try to chip or bring a back into the backfield but they will have to deal with them come Saturday. Also both of them are projected first round draft pick’s with Hutch being mentioned in the top 10. They are a bit more than all big ten type players. Walker only carried the ball six times, because Tucker knew the game was over on the 3rd play of the 2nd quarter when Ohio State went up 28-0. His title hopes were over. He knew he did not have the talent on defense or offense to compete. Why risk an injury to his star running back going into the Penn State game, where a win would guarantee MSU's best record since 2014. And assure him of the huge new contract that Jim now can only dream of. MSU had 200 yard rushing against U of M. Was the reason that Jim was afraid of the MSU passing attack and chose not to worry about Walker? Maybe the best thing to do is run right at the vaunted pass rushers of U of M. No need for any all caps words for emphasis in this message. Succinct enough as is.

No need for any all caps words for emphasis in this message. Succinct enough as is. we agree about 75%. I still believe a Heisman candidate player can create spunk, excitement, and belief even when down 28-0. Taking him out to me was a poor decision. He can at anytime “pop the big one.” You have to gamble that chance when playing the best team in the BIG10.

Don't forget how mad Ryan Day was that Michigan cancelled the week of last year. If OSU is rolling, I'd love to see about 70 points put up.

After last year's cancellation of 'the game', That it was suppose to be in Columbus. I remember Ryan Day saying if the opportunity presents itself, They would score 100 on TTUN.

Day's 100 point threat was in response to Harbaugh calling us cheaters, not in response to them coviding all over themselves.

Well, weather forecast has worsened for the hole and the game. Now 1-3 inches of snow and high of 34 saturday. Everything working in scUM's favor and may slow down osu passsing offense. If scUM and hairball dont win tomorrow, they may never!

If scUM and hairball dont win tomorrow, they may never! It's going to be very cold, but snow will be a non-factor. They predict snow at gametime, but an accumulation of less than an inch.

10-1 records is about where the comparisons should stop. Michigan is inferior on the sidelines and the field.

Good assessment. Yes, we kill you guys every year, in fact, 15 or the last 16 encounters. Guess this will be the last we hear from you.......

It's much too early to be looking ahead, but if Ohio State has a strong and impressive performance against the #5 ranked Wolverines, it would not be at all surprising to see Georgia slip to #2 in the CFP rankings. If not, it would be as close to a virtual tie for the top seed as one could want at this point.
But, first things first and the immediate task at hand for the Buckeyes! GO BUCKS!

I have to disagree, even with a solid win today they won’t pass Georgia as #1. Georgia has that locked down as long as they keep winning.

Yes. Agree. In voters and committee members mind, the SEC is ALWAYS superior.

Considering this is an Ohio website, Mostly for Ohio sports, And for entertainment only, You should expect us to be Buckeye fans. If this were Xichigan, Forget the game, I'm moving and putting my house up for sale, Today. I do not want to live in a Left winger state.

I feel like Georgia has solidified their position as the #1.
