Michigan State is an underdog for Saturday's game at Ohio Stadium, but the Spartans come to Columbus with a top-10-ranked defense and a history of playing spoiler to the Buckeyes. https://t.co/pu7qpjxXKK

Lewerke has only thrown 1 interception, to go with 10 touchdowns.....

We need to pressure him and force some turnovers...….

He has only been sacked 4 times this year...…...

He is averaging about 35 passes a game so we will get some opportunities...….

He is an experienced quarterback but I believe we can get pressure with just four which will allow us an extra defender to spy him as he likes to get out of the pocket.....

 

The key to this game is our offensive line vs. their defensive line.

The question is can Michigan State score enough to stay in the game?

 

Inside the Box: Last year, the Buckeyes allowed 23 plays of over 40 yards. This year, that number is down to just three, thanks in no small part to the play of the linebackers. https://t.co/Jsn4wSwuWa

Black Out on Saturday night...…..

 

This Ohio State offense certainly looks different stylistically, but Film Study shows why Ryan Day hasn't re-written the playbook since taking over the program. https://t.co/2w50qTttP9

Fear of 'slip-ups' fueling No. 4 Buckeyes' roll. No. 25 Michigan State and its rugged defense next up.
