Who knows? Way early. But the Big 10 is no joke. Minny and Wisky and Nebraska won’t be laying down like last year. Iowa in for a gauntlet.

It absolutely could. But "smells like another 8-4 season" because they trail OSU by 4? Dumb.

Our special teams are really coming into their own here. Buhr is looking good and Everitt has only gotten better every game.

So far, I am happy with the game plan.

The defense forcing a turnover here would be huge.

Fun fact, the football is a weird shape which makes it bounce weird.

Yep, North Endzone needs to be loud. It's already caused a few penalties for OSU.

It seems unfair that Iowa keeps having good punters.

The lack of a good offense is a more than fair trade off.
