It’s kinda a welcome change to be playing a classy opponent who seems to respect the game. It’s a welcome change after! “Hate week!”

Yeah. I'll just apologize in advance. Have no hate for Fitz and I don't know anything bad about that team.
There's nothing wrong with beating the pants off someone you actually respect.

We already had our Iowa in West Lafayette, or at least I hope. I feel more like the 11-1 team that rolled into Indy against Wisconsin in 2014...coming off a huge win where our players are just starting to reach their potential and a chance to sneak into the CFP with a big performance. If not, an outright B1G title and trip to the Rose Bowl. The motivating factors are there. Plus playing in the dome takes away any ability for NW to hide behind for Midwest weather and winds that would slow down our offense. There are a lot of other matchups I really like for us as well and think the defense actually matches up well as a whole against NW.
Trust me, I am far from taking NW lightly and am in now way assuming a win against NW. We can definitely lose this one. I just actually feel confident on this one given the above.

In small amount of NW games I watched this week, I don't see any skill players with enough speed to take advantage of the miscues made by the OSU defense. They thrive on driving the field and eating clock.
Honestly, I more concerned with the offense. NW's defense keeps everything in front of them and are disciplined. The OSU offense is going have to run the ball and take what the defense gives.

I'm kinda wondering why the line is only -14 or somewhere in that range. Someone knows something.
In the regular season this would be a 3+ TD game spread-wise.

In the regular season we never covered those large spreads. Then when were dogs to scUM, we blew their doors off. Consider this a good sign. Plus, that's a pretty large spread against a solid team. NW plays tough against B1G teams

Because the only team we really dismantled this conference season has been the one dumb enough to not try to exploit the same thing the other NW-ish teams were able to do.
Thanks again, Jim.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but NU does not have any KJ Hamler, Rondell Moore, or Anthony McFarland clones on their roster. Offensively, they will be slightly more creative than ttun, but with far inferior athletes. They grind out wins, which suits us just fine.

Bucks had 550+ yards against Purdue. They were awesome between the 20s, but sucked ass in the red zone. Three trips inside the 5 netted 6 total points. Don't get cute with the stupid Tate package where everyone and their grandmother knows he's gonna run it, and punch that sucker in. That score was a 1/10 kinda thing.
