Damn that’s a rough injury report. Hopefully the guys can gut this one out and get to a much needed bye week.

I like how Art is maximizing the strengths of the offense to offset the weaknesses. No turtle pace this year. The tempo changes and moving pieces are really good.
Patricia is actually more impressive this year. He hardly had to scheme last year because of how smart and talented the players were. Now they are green and not as talented, but he is tweaking more and more every week, and they are really starting to gel.
It will be a good game. IU is also not as good as they were last year, but they are right there with OSU. Slightly less talented than OSU I think (overall).

Boyd is a great blocker. I missed that injury.
Man.....
Trust the coaches.... trust the coaches
Alliegro and Philips being back is huge.

The pearl clutching by some OSU fans is hilarious. If they lose this game bc Jakobi is out then they have issues. This isn't same Indiana team as last year. Could they beat OSU? Sure, but to act like they are some super team is laughable. There's a reason Vegas has OSU favored

I am having a little fun, and being dramatic for shits and giggles.
With that said:
The spread is only 3 points. Maybe a point more than "your guess is as good as mine"
IU is a very good team, even if they aren't what they were last year.
For some reason, even with these losses I have a feeling OSU wins this one.

No he's just a good journalist and podcaster for Cleveland.com.
I think that is why he put it in parentheses

Yeah, Jakobi being out is concerning. And West is listed as questionable. Our two most physical runners. But BO has carried the load before and so he's going to have to step up big time. Looks like Legend might play a bigger role than we initially expected. Smith just has to find some creative ways to get him the ball. And hopefully West can contribute.
