Asie from USC, we haven;t faced a DE the caliber of Aaron Maybin...he's going to be a very tall order fir whoever is lined up across from him.

From watching the PSU-UM game, I was not very impressed with PSU's safeties...if Terrelle or Beanie reaches the secondary, I'm confident they can bust it....

Also keep in mind, we know we've got at least six from Malcolm, it's a tradition.

Plea to everyone going to the Game

This is my Plea to anyone going to this game on Saturday night. Please make more noise than you ever have in your entire life the night of the game. Our crowd could be a deciding factor in this game and since i cant be there i want every single person that reads this that is going to the game not to sit down and to try and pump up the crowd around them. I want that whole stadium not to have a voice on Sunday morning.

I want this to be the loudest football game i have ever heard at the "shoe"

GOD BLESS AND GO BUCKS

Game with Penn State could decide Big Ten title


Associated Press

Monday, October 20, 2008

The Big Ten lacks a championship game. The Penn State-Ohio State game, however, probably will end up deciding who wins the title.
"It's either ours or Penn State's world and we'll find out next week," Buckeyes guard Jim Cordle said. "We like our chances."
Ohio State dismantled Michigan State on the road Saturday, Oct. 18, starting with four unanswered touchdowns and going on to win 45-7.
"I don't know what the nation is going to think, but we made a statement for ourselves," receiver Brian Robiskie said. "As big of a game as this was and to do what we did, it definitely helps your confidence."
The victory kept the Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0 Big Ten) atop the conference standings along with the undefeated Nittany Lions, who are coming off a 46-17 win at home against Michigan.

Can a big win come in Big Ten?

By Rusty Miller

What's brewing today with
the Ohio State Buckeyes:
Buckeyes buzz
So the big question is, when an unbiased, national poll voter looks at Ohio State, what do they think of the 2008 Buckeyes?
You'll note, Periscope said "2008" Buckeyes. Everyone has a pretty good idea what they thought of those eggs the 2006 and 2007 teams laid in the national title games.
This year, however, the lasting impression is the Buckeyes got smeared in their one big game. In their seven victories, at least according to independent experts, they haven't beaten anybody.
That's a product of Big Ten approval ratings that have followed the same arc as the stock market. It's also a sign of how some of the Buckeyes' earlier "big" wins have turned out.

OSU will be first real test for Penn State

It is not good form to poke fun at other newspapers, but this headline appeared yesterday in the online edition of a north-central Pennsylvania paper: "Nittany Lions pass first test of season." Huh? Michigan was a test for Penn State? Are we speaking of the 2-4, now 2-5 Wolverines, who lost the week before to Toledo, which bookended that victory with two losses by a combined 69-7 to Mid-American Conference opponents? If that was the Lions' first test then they still haven't been tested. But that will change
Saturday. Bring on the "red-out" at Ohio Stadium. (Scarlet-out simply doesn't sound right.) Penn State is very, very good, and it has been tested, to some degree, by a pair of then-ranked opponents in Illinois and slip-sliding Wisconsin. On paper, the Lions could well be the top candidate among college football's elite teams to complete an undefeated season. Fellow unbeatens Texas and Alabama may be better. The first BCS standings came out yesterday withthe Nittany Lions poised at No. 3. A 12-0 Penn State team would likely find itself playing for a national championship. To get there, though, the Lions have to go through Columbus, where they are 0-7 since joining the Big Ten.

We need "the 12th man" to be a factor this Saturday. If you attend you must make noise. If your not prepared to yell at the top of your lungs and stand the whole game, give your ticket to someone who will! :biggrin:
Go Bucks! Beat State Penn! Show the doubters and the whole nation who we are!
:oh:

Shameless re-post on my part from last year's post-game thread, but I think it's worth mentioning as I believe the ace up our sleeve is that Darryl Clark hasn't ever seen a defense quite like ours yet.

Here are the TD passes PSU QBs have thrown vs OSU in the JT-era:

2007 | Anthony Morelli 24-yard TD pass to Malcolm Jenkins
2006 | Anthony Morelli 61-yard TD pass to Malcolm Jenkins
2006 | Anthony Morelli 55-yard TD pass to Antonio Smith
2004 | Michael Robinson 24-yard TD pass to Tyler Everett
2003 | Zack Mills 2-yard TD pass to Sean McHugh
2002 | Zack Mills 40-yard TD pass to Chris Gamble
2001 | Zack Mills 45-yard TD pass to Derek Ross
2001 | Zack Mills 26-yard TD pass to Tony Johnson
2001 | Zack Mills 14-yard TD pass to Eric McCoo

That's 2 TD passes thrown to PSU WRs, 1 TD pass thrown to a PSU RB, and 6 TD passes thrown to OSU DBs.

I expect this trend to continue this Saturday night.
