Hi-

Anyone have an insiders idea on Terrelle Pryor's injury status for this weekend? If he is out or less than 100%, there is no chance Ohio State covers the 22 point spread, especially considering the lack of production from Boom and Zoom! Thanks for any info!

Any info on TP's health that we're able to pass on will be in his thread.

Asking for inside info on a player injury in a betting thread, to put it nicely, is very bad form.

I think another important question is if Indiana is lining up 5 wide and 4 wide all game are 2 LBs gonna be on the field or do we see another CB?

Good question, seeing as how our usual nickelback (Moeller) is going to be out. Moeller as a star was always more LB than Safety to me; an extremely rangy linebacker. Now, Christian Bryant I see as more of a natural nickelback, who also fits the star. A good coverage guy who is a sound and strong tackler.

OSU typically likes to keep their two stalwart LB's in the game at all times. I think Heacock will love to see Indiana line up in 5 wides, because that means their offensive line will have no help in trying to deal with our pass rush.

This could work out into a field day for our defensive lineman. The only problem I can see arising is in quick dumpoff plays where the ball is out of Chappell's hands quick. It worked well against Michigan because scUM's first guy on the scene often missed the tackle resulting in a bigger play. I wouldn't expect that from our defense, but that's why they play the games.

When IU goes empty set it will probably still include Willis split out...Rolle and Homan in coverage and blitzing = win for OSU. Sit on those hot routes and get pressure right up the middle. So maybe an extra corner is unlikely unless it's 5 WR 5 OL and Chappel. Doss is a serious threat and I would give Torrence a shot at him with help over the top since he's more physical at the LOS than Chek.

Shut down Willis
Jam Doss @ LOS all day
Pressure the shit out of Chappel!

My guess is we'll see a lot of 3 down linemen and 2 LBs with 6 DBs at times if at all possible. There will be a lot of reps for the kids this week.

I would say 4 down Homan and Rolle (both good cover LBs) with Bryant at star would be best in my opinion. If we don't knock Chappell around he has the accuracy. Put him on his ass, occassionally drop the DE and hope for those picks. Chappell only got flustered when he was pressured last week.

And I'm gonna get married... are you suggesting something here about our D line?

Anyway, I'm betting that Chappell and company can keep it closer than 22 points. Here's hoping I'm wrong and that something that resembles a running game emerges.

I agree. I don't think we run away with this game at all.
