Well this will be a big'un for the Big Ten. The Buckeyes seem to have righted the ship a little after the Collapse in the Colliseum, and MSU has been playing good ball the last few weeks. Will Ringer run wild? Will Pryor guide the offense better than he did against Purdue?

I can see this being a "shootout" type of game, maybe a 35-28 sort of score. Who ya got? :D

[coonskinner]

is it away game...:mischeif:

[Deehntr56]

At State.......I'm pulling for both teams on this one, for obvious reasons!!!:biggrin:

I can't lose then!!!:biggrin:


It should be a good game....State has a shot at winning!

Yep.......I'll still say GO BUCKS!!!!

Ohio State can decide who will win the big 10 in the next 2 weeks playing mich state and penn state. also wandering if mich state and penn state play each other at the end of the season or is it 1 of those they dont get too.

[coonskinner]

yup i agree but still the season aint over...i guess i've seen ohio state trip too many times before by teams they should easily beat...i think of the year mich. state popped up from nowhere an beat a team that shoulda been national champions...but then again that can happen to the usc's too...just gotta hope they win out:D

The difference is that it does happen to OSU on occasion, like MSU in 1998...it happens to USC every year! That was one of the worst losses I can remember as an OSU fan because that may have been the best OSU team of my lifetime so far.

[Fish-n-Fool]

I see it more of a low scoring, field position type of game with a few big plays tossed in. I expect OSU to bottle up Ringer as usual and make him work all day for his yards. Same for Wells/Pryor on our side - MSU will be ready to stop them.

I like OSU in this one for one reason - we have a much better punter; one of the best in college ball. We should win the "hidden" yards battle and if we don't make any big mistakes we'll leave with a win.

I'll go OSU 20-13

[inthewoods]

I expect it to be a good game, but I think mich state will make Pryor beat them passing the ball and they (mich state) hopes that beanie dont get too many big chunks of yards on on the ground. the last couple of games it seems the other team has had some pretty good success containing Pryor from running vertically down the field.

[Deehntr56]

Bucks just took the State boys out back and put a good old fashioned whupping on them boys....45-7!!!:biggrin:

Good game for the Buckeyes!!!:biggrin:

PSU is next!!

:bouncy::bouncy: good game indeed

[coonskinner]

now is this the osu everybuddy was talkin bout before the season began...now the poll people gotta put that into consideration i would think...an they beat em at msu...beat em up bad...:D

[Redhunter1012]

Buckeyes finally getting their money's worth out of Pryor:whistle:

[Fish-n-Fool]

I wasn't expecting that to happen! Most surprising was the domination on both lines - MS has played tough until that game.

We played well for the most part (should have lost that fumble by Small at our own goal line), but MSU imploded with their worst game all year as well. We win that game either way as we finally played well, but we are not 40 points better than MSU is all I'm saying.

My game ball goes to Brandon Smith @ FB; he had an absolute monster game. He had some big blocks that sprang our better running plays and also caught a couple passes for first downs. He did a great job picking up blitzers when he was in too.

Next week determines the league championship; hopefully our guys are healthy and ready to go.

Coonie, I was impressed with the way our Bucks played, but looking at the polls I don't see them climbing above their current spot unless they beat PSU. That obviously will jump them up. I just feel the same way as the voters, the other one-loss teams (like Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, USC, etc...) are just better teams. Beat PSU and that will help them.

[Bawana]

I agree Cream, all we can do is win out and hope for the best.

Consider this: A Big Ten team always goes to the Rose Bowl..............Even IF Penn beats the Bucks, Penn would most likely go to Fiesta Bowl anyway as its higher up food chain.........I believe we would need to win out rest of way AFTER a POSSIBLE loss to PENN and we would get a SWEET ROSE BOWL re-match with them Condoms from Southern Cal. Losses to Penn and the Illini would doom us to the Capital One bowl or Outback bowl.

What a great outcome for a possible two loss TOSU season !!!!:bouncy:

[coonskinner]

they need to smash penn state bad...real bad,like 60-0...then wreek havoc on every team after that:gaga: ...:mischeif:

Condoms:yikes: LMAO......Now your talking there Wiseone!!!

Anything can happen...anything.......lots of football to play yet, and some key Match ups bewteen SEC teams, that can change a lot at the top.....Texas looks good right now....but so Did USC earlier in the year.......only time will tell!!!:biggrin:

I really thought State would play closer...but OSU played well, and the ball was bouncing their way too...which helps!!!

It helped Ohio State last year after losing to illi. the big 12 beating up each other and timely losing by Rich Rod himself. :D :D
