Let's hear everyone's thoughts on the next three games.
Purdue:
I hope we play with a lot of our starters only doing a quarter or two before switching over to a bunch of the back-ups. Purdue just lost their head coach, and they just aren't very good this year. Great time to get some young talent some experience, and rest the starters who definitely need to heal, because...
Wisconsin:
Is this a College Gameday game? A potential Top 10 match-up between two programs who consider themselves to be the real Big Ten West rivalry? Everything about this says this is going to be one hell of a game, one which we may lose, but hopefully we can eek out a win. Regardless, this should be a much better experience for us than in the past, when Pelini almost as a rule would get embarrassed by Wisconsin (I know, we beat them once in Lincoln, but that program has really had our number since we joined the Big Ten).
Is Wisconsin's offense THAT good? I know their defense is playing with their hair on fire right now, but I don't care who you are, if we stick with a 60%+ run attack the way we've been doing early in the season, I think even Wisconsin is going to get worn out from that after a while. Plus it allows us to control the pace of the game better.
Ohio State:
How I feel about this game has a lot to do with what happens in Madison; if we win against Wisconsin, hell yeah, let's see how we do here! If we lose, well, go out, play, have fun, and try to keep it respectable.
Thoughts all?
