MSU upset Nebraska this weekend, can't take them lightly.
I look at the numbers and matchups in this one, and think it will actually be a slaughter versus my usual "it's going to be closer than you think" prediction regardless of who may be out or limited by injury. Time to give them a proper ass whooping for all those past upsets. 45-3 OSU is my my call.
My look at the numbers suggests something similar - see above.
The post from @JCOSU86 inspired me to go watch the Husker-Sparty game (BTN - Football in 60: Best thing about YoutubeTV is the unlimited DVR where I can just record all of them and refer to them whenever)
Sparty's scores in that game came from a long pass - receiver not covered, then 3 plays and a FG and other such things. There were two halfback passes, one on a reverse, so they pulled out all of the stops, trick play wise (the silver bullets have been very disciplined on such things this year, Corn last Saturday, not so much). Another score came on a short field because the Corn special teams and offense are crap. Apart from those things most Sparty possessions were 3-and-out. The Sparty QB didn't complete a single pass to a covered receiver (meaning there was someone TRYING to cover) until well into the second half, and even then, Sparty ended up with the 2nd highest pass efficiency that anyone has had vs Corn all year. That's mostly a function of Corn having played such crap offenses all year and having had an off day last Saturday.
Long story short: watching that game made me MORE convinced that Sparty is coming to the Shoe, but going to the woodshed.
