You almost can't even use numbers against Rutgers or Maryland because the team was so far ahead so quick that you're basically just playing to avoid long pass touchdowns and playing large stretches of those games with backups.

It's going to come down to the safeties and their ability to be in position to help and finish tackles. KW is a stud and he's going to have those plays where he breaks the first tackle. It comes down to how well positioned Hickman and Shaw are and if they can make the tackles. I'm fairly confident in Hickman. I have very little confidence in Shaw. They're going to do what they've seen the other teams do on tape, which is put people in motion to force linebackers outside of the tackles pre-play and hope that Shaw continues to play hesitant football and leave Walker huge gaps up the center of the field.

All that said, I think this ends up being the Steele Chambers break out show and he ends up being all over KW for most of the afternoon.

Yeah. When you look at the game logs, KWIII has been held in check from a YPC perspective a few times. He gets his yards on volume but this Saturday, if he's slugging away at a sub 4 YPC clip and the secondary isn't getting torched, MSU is going to have a hard time keeping up.

Right now it is almost a "dead heat" for the Heisman between Stroud, Young, Walker, and Corral. One of them needs to step up and put on a Heisman performance game against a really good opponent.

Suggest reading the "Opening: Omega Men" segment. This game could be the "signature game" for either Stroud or Walker to win the Heisman.

Stroud should be able to put up some big passing numbers against Sparty too:

Am I reading this right? Is ESPN ranking Ohio State's remaining SOS #7 and Bama's #1? Ohio State plays #6 and #7 while Bama plays #17 and #25. Maybe I'm not understanding what "Rem SOS' means...

REM SOS:Rank among all FBS teams of remaining schedule strength, from perspective of an average FBS team.

I imagine they are anticipating Alabama having to play Georgia in the SEC CCG

You are likely correct but playing Georgia alone shouldn't rank them that high when OSU plays 2 top 10 teams and another Top 15 team likely. They're other games are junk.
None of it really matters now though but winning. I'd rather us not play UGA until the Ship but in is in.

The definition I posted was straight from the glossary at the bottom of that page link I replied to. But I agree, if they (eSPiN ) pump up Bama remaining SOS it gives the committee more reason to keep them in should they lose a close one to Georgia

All while not playing great passing offenses and the one they did face put up over 500 yards passing and handed them their only loss. Should go well for them in 2 days.

This game has become truly confusing for me. I read an article explaining how crappy tOSU plays the week before "The Game" and I am like man maybe MSU has a chance. Then I read about how bad MSU has actually played at the Shoe (yes some wins but no offense) and I am like this is gonna be ugly for my Spartans. And then the whole spread of 19ish and I am like this is easy money..........take the points and laugh to the bank.
I keep coming back to the MSU Oline and I just don't see how this goes well for MSU. That line is extremely marginal. Then I read the 11 Warrior article on Cook and remember his assine actions and I am like damn MSU is now cursed also and super screwed.
Off Topic but gotta replace the fuel pump on the truck this week so may be working on that come 2pm Saturday or could be waking up in a drunken haze Sunday from celebration to get the job completed. My truck is over 13 years old and had to grind the head off all 6 bolts to get the bed loose. Yes I could drop tank but there are reasons I went this way (mainly I have no hoist...). Lets just say the taste of carbon steel is still in my nose this morning. And yes I tried all types of penetrating oils, used a torch, and snapped multiple sockets T55 before I realized the old grinder needed to be put into play.
Saturday noon can not get here soon enough.
