Game Thread #1 tOSU at Illinois, Sat. Oct. 11th, 12 pm ET, FOX

If we get up early it’s over, if we feel them out they will hang around and it may be uncomfortable for half or so.
There’s a world where they can win.

If we revert back to Texas and first half Washington we can lose this game.

We need to stay aggressive snd keep the offense open. If we do that we will win by multiple scores.

If we don’t then I still think we win because the defense is so good but we can absolutely lose the game if we go all conservative.

There’s no need to roll into this game “trying to get it” into the 4th quarter. Come out and play to your strengths and it’ll be over by the half.

Defense too. Come out and stop them. A drive for any type of score will give their Offense juice.

I remember the last time we played OSU during the great depression that was pretty much the entire Lovie Smith Era in 2017, me and a buddy were driving all over central Illinois watching high school playoff games and listened occasionally on the radio to us getting piss pounded as was expected. Chayce Crouch was playing QB, man.....some dark dark times.

I'll probably take this back by the 2nd qtr, but it is nice to see Ohio State again, I always miss playing traditional B1G teams, we do go way back. The Illibuck is the coolest trophy in college football, I don't care what anyone says.

Kinda sad, this is our last year in Chicagoland… moving to NC at the end of the month. Between buying a house, selling another and work travel, zero time to make the trip down to UofI for the game.

Looks to be great weather too. Hope all traveling for the game have a great time.

Damn dude. This region is awesome and I’m committed to dying here (Chicagoland/Nwi)

Wishing you a good transition boss, best wishes but congrats

Kinda got the feeling that if tOSU doesn't cover, the game is close (closer than expected by the pundits), then the Buckeyes will take a tumble in the standings. Just me being "Negative Nelly" once again. U of Miami seems to be the new shiny toy, and tOSU seems to rise after being ranked lower, rather than the clubhouse leader. Guess we'll see what sort of tricks Bert (new Big Tuna) has up his sleeve. Go Bucks!
