Didn't see a prediction thread in all the whining and arguing over Wisconsin. Time to move on to Ohio State!!

OSU- 35
NU- 21

Just seen this on twitter also,

Ohio State's offense is good but our defense has played well. Their O-Line is banged up, which makes me think this game is going to be in the 20s. Penn State and Northwestern held them to 21 and 24. No reason why we can't do the same. Hope we can get Cethan Carter back. I'll be an outlier and say 26-23 Nebraska.

Wow, these predictions shock me. OSU's offense hasn't done anything well since the IU game. It's a young team that really appears to be struggling to get things figured out. If anything this team is regressing right now.

The team really appears to be struggling in all phases of the game and Meyer seems frustrated that he hasn't been able to push the team through its struggles.

I'm cautiously hopeful of a 27-20 win. Right now I would be thrilled with that.


Go Bucks!!!

OSU picks off passes and how many picks will TA toss and maybe a pick 6. NW & PSU are spread teams, NU is a pro set on the road. PSU was also bad weather. This is the perfect environment for NU to fall apart and get rolled this season, IMO.

I am more optimistic after the past 2 weeks about this game. PSU and NW are not better than NU, and they both went toe to toe with OSU. Similarly, OSU and NU played UW in Madison in close, hard fought games. So NU is certainly capable of winning this game.

Unfortunately, the events of the past 2-3 weeks have undoubtedly gotten the attention of OSU. NU will be getting their complete attention - there won't be any sneaking up on them. So I'll say OSU 30-20.

The picks may happen but Wisconsin's defense is similar Ohio State's. Their D-Line is not as good as it was last year, either. But Langsdorf will have to get creative. Yes we have Ohio State's attention, but I don't think we will get rolled, I think we pull it out. Their team is still as young as it was at the beginning of the season.

20 to 21 Nebraska

OSUs offense is 2 people Barrett and Samuels.

Their OL is suspect.

They are not that good. But if we don't stop their zone dives plays....we won't win.

Would love to pick the Huskers in an upset, and I do believe they will play hard, but asking this team to win on the road while banged up is probably too much this year.

Ohio State 31
Nebraska 20

I think the team will be highly motivated after showing last week that we can compete against very good teams. I think Tommy has a better game, our defense plays just good enough to get the win.

OSU has looked very beatable these past two weeks.

I don't have the best feeling about this game. In 2012 OSU struggled before our game and we had confidence we could keep up with them. Then 63-38 happened, not saying that this game will be the same result. Knowing that we have their full attention and we are limping into this game, I'll go with 38 -17 OSU

Before Burkhead(sp) went out of that game with an injury that was a different game. If he doesn't get hurt that's a much closer game and who knows what happens. It's like the year before in Lincoln. If Miller doesn't get hurt OSU was kinda having its way with Nebraska.

Here's to good health for both teams on Saturday.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if OSU covered @ 15.5. At the same time, Nebraska has pretty much done the opposite the past few years.

So, I'm taking somewhat of a reverse psychology route:

Nebraska: 38
tOSU: 24

:cool:

Night game at the Shoe with Armstrong struggling I have to think the Buckeyes win something like 35 - 13. Should be a good game.

Boy a lot of you folks must not watch college football when it doesn't involve NU. Northwestern, a team we beat, slowed Ohio State down and had a decent shot at beating them. There is a 0 percent chance with the way our defense has played we get boat raced.

I won't guarantee a win, but we sure as **** are going to compete. My heart says NU 27- OSU 24 with Drew hitting a long field goal to seal it as time expires.
