Halftime: OSU 31, RU 3.
Yeh, probably sounds about right but I seriously think the main goal - of both Rutgers and OSU - is to get out of this one without any injuries to key players - which seems to have plagued OSU bigtime this year. They're CBs were depleted against Wisky and it will be interesting to see who plays against Rutgers in that group

This will get ugly and stay ugly unless Gleeson and Harasymiak pull legendary game plans out of their asses and the players execute better than they have so far. Particularly on offense.

Gonna be ugly.

Can't just have great players at a handful positions. Gotta have great players, 3 deep, across all positions. And we're not there yet, and won't be for at last a few more years. Takes time.

We're moving in the right direction, though. Which we weren't for a while.

Not an awful lot of teams on OSU's schedule won't be rolled by them, except maybe UM, MS, and PSU for starters.

They totally roll MSU. It will be ugly

Have a feeling they're going to really put it on Michigan this year - in Columbus - as they've had a whole year to simmer about 2021.

Just have a feeling that their one close one will be against PSU at PSU. Maybe a 7 to 10 point win with OSU pulling it out late

All of them?

I’d love to see us force a few punts to open the game. That would in theory mean we’re not rolled in Q1. Making it to halftime within 2 scores would be great too. The problem is that big plays tend to be our biggest issue and OSU is awesome with them.

I think another problem is if our offense can’t move the ball, the defense, even if it is somewhat competitive at the start, will eventually be rolled.

Yes that’s bound to happen but I’d still rather see us start strong on defense even if we can’t sustain it. In reality, what Wisconsin produced isn’t as much different from 78-0 as the media makes it out to be. Being down 28-0 in the first minute of Q2 really stinks.

An improvement would not being down 0-35 or 0-28 at halftime like every year but I'm not holding my breathe.

Probably a 52-7 type game. Total *** whipping coming Saturday.

The one hope might be that Iowa’s defense is somewhat on par with OSU’s, and even if we don’t score a ton we can at least move the ball enough to limit their offensive possessions.

Whatcha talking bout Willis …. Who claims anything?

Will we get rolled ?​

"Certainly hope not . But it’s a possibility .
we need some magic to stay in this one and win it . It can happen "
(later in same thread)
"we are getting rolled . Just like I asked if it could happen…. Plum nails it .. again"

Well, it’s not bragging if it’s true.
What’s the easiest solution ? I will tell ya . Don’t get rolled . Don’t get close enough to a rolling that it is debated.
With that said , a rolling this week is acceptable . No injuries and live to fight another day
