I think it's pretty clear now. JT is the right guy for this offense. We tried to be a team where the pass creates the run with Cardale, but it's obvious the run creates the pass for us.

We just look more smooth with JT in

Michigan LOL

Golfed with OSU former FB Matt Calhoun today (FB for Eddie George). Before Tilly says it. COOL STORY GOLFBRO lol

I think it will be close, but PSU plays to our strength. At least their offense vs. our defense. We seem to struggle against mobile QBs but we're solid at stopping the pass. Hackenberg is pretty much just a passing threat, and their O-Line is atrocious. I think we sack Hackenberg a lot. I could see our offense struggling a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get some separation on their D. I could honestly see it being somewhere around 38-17.

I was literally just thinking that when I was listening to them this morning. If you're going to be on the radio you should either be informative or funny. They are neither. I hate the stupid dad that introduces them too, Jesus is that accent fucking annoying when he says their names. I wonder how long that dumbass show will last. They shouldn't have run Cowherd out of town. He was great.

It's like they went back in time to the 30s

No deff didn't say that. I think they need to feel like the underdog or as if they have something to prove to play to their potential. They were practically gifted a playoff spot before the season started.

Ur*

Ohio State absolutely underperforms at home. I think Ohio State needs to play with a chip on their shoulder to get their full effort it seems. They seem to preform the best under pressure on the road or at a neutral site (i.e. last 3 games of last year). I think they need to have some adversity to play to their potential. That's why I won't be upset if they are ranked 2nd or 3rd in the first playoff poll. Maybe they will pull their heads out of their ass and play at a different level than they are now.

Can I haz whatever you're smoking? You either don't understand what's being discussed or you can't properly write what you're trying to say.

But the SEC isn't having a down year. -Jive

Off topic : Who Dey!!!

Why does everyone think Baylor is a team to be afraid of? They run a spread offense against a conference that is completely inept on defense. Sure they look "sexy" scoring 60+ points, but teams like that every year get exposed when they play someone with a pulse on defense. Utah is very solid, but the Pac is extremely overrated. Ohio State isn't playing great or to their potential, but everyone is always looking for an excuse/reason to drop the #1 team. Fact is, we keep winning despite playing to about half of our potential, losing the turnover battle almost every game by a wide margin and getting every teams best game. Once tOSU hits their stride, nobody will want to play them. Getting hot at the right time of the year is key.

Who would you say deserves to be #1 over OSU? Better yet, what's your top 5?

Yeah. At this point, I'm trying to determine if MSU is pulling an OSU and playing wayyyy down to their competition, or if they're just not that good. Right now if I had to make a prediction... MSU 17 scUM 30 Then we play scUM for who goes to the B1G championship and playoff. Crazy Harbaugh has this team playing at this high of a level this fast.

Also, Josh hates Ohio State :gabe:

Michigan State/scUM is looking to be a great game. I bet the line is something like -2.5 scUM. They're looking like a playoff team to this point as much as I hate to say it. I wonder if MSU can continue its prestige over the past 5-6 years moving forward with the emergence of scUM.

Exterior looks better than a 6-7/10 IMO. I'd love to pick this up though if I had the spare cash. I always liked the Sedan Si's

If you're not out in BFE, T-Mobile is pretty solid for the price and their customer service is 10 times better than Verizon.

With the system that OSU is currently running on offense, it's going to be hard for Cardale to make many plays. They are running a system for suited for Barrett than Cardale. If they start letting Cardale drop back and pass like they did in the 3 games last year, I think we will see a completely different team. This run option BS literally wastes downs and puts us in 3rd and long situations almost constantly. But then again, what do I know? I'm just some dumb fan, so I guess we should trust the coaching staff that they have thought about this 1000 times over? Also, who is replacing Corey Smith? Any chance we finally see some of Johnny Dixon? What's the word on Torrence Gibson? Is he still hurt, and are we just going to redshirt him at this point? I think Gibson COULD be a big time deep ball threat, but that's assuming he transitions to a solid WR.

How would you guys compare the B1G's top 6 over the other conferences top 6? I'd put it above the ACC and the Pac 12, tied with the Big 12 and right behind the SEC. Overall the B1G is having a pretty solid year, at least towards the top.

Talked to Zeke at Petco today. Pretty awesome and a random place to see him lol
