I feel like this game is going to be on our defenses shoulders. If they can stop Ringer then as much as I hate to say it but our field goal way of life will carry us onto victory.. unless we let Pretorious kick them.. then we may be in for a long day..

The offense will be better than the performance against Purdue. I think this team has more spark to it than people are saying. I think the lack luster performance pissed enough people off that we will see a fired up team, ready to let loose on the road against Sparty.

Our defense needs to be on target Saturday. We need to get at Ringer early and let him know we mean business.

I'm def not cocky about this one at all......we could lose, MSU is good and we have to play there so IF we win, I see it much like the Wisky game and we won't win by more than 1 or 2 scores // 3-10 points is my guess for whoever wins.....I do want to assume it's going to be us, but again, MSU is good and if we think we can just show up & win, please reference the memory in the deepest recesses of your mind of OSU/Florida circa 2006....

This game is such a HUGE game for personal reasons - I can't wait for this one. Easily the second biggest conference game of the year as far as my own braggings rights go (even with PSU).

Gotta have this win if we want to win the Big Ten. It's certainly not an impossible task. We're Ohio State... we've been in and won big games before. We've been in hostile environments and came out on top. All we need to do is hang on to the football and force turnovers and then rest will take care of itself.

Dantonio is a great defensive coach. Look for him to throw all kinds of blitz packages at the young Ohio State QB. If pryor has done his homework and can make quick decision (his biggest problem to date, IMO) there should be at least two big downfield passing plays available to Ohio State.

I feel like I keep saying every week this season that every game could be a great opportunity for our team to make it happen and show everyone what we're made of. I hope it's this week (the ending drive for Wisconsin as great too!)

We gotta make it happen today. Our defense must come out ready to play.
