Game Thread tOSU at Penn State - Oct 27th, 5:30 ET, ESPN

Why is PSU all of the sudden considered a good team? They beat a bruised and battered, AVERAGE to BAD Iowa. They beat Northwestern? I think we beat up on them, mainly at the point of attack, both sides of the ball. We need to focus on Jordan Hill at DT, but they don't have the DE's the usually do. I thought Short from Purdue had a lot of success getting through our interior line but Hill is a lot smaller.

I don't think its that they're a good team, it's that we aren't as good as we thought we were (but we're improving)

They're playing better than anybody else in the B10 right now.

Playing away games is never easy. I have heard so many people say, "Indiana? Cakewalk." "Purdue? 70-2 Bucks" Truth is, there wont be an easy game left on the schedule (Maybe Illinois being the exception).

When the SEC has parity, they're all awesome. When the B1G has parity, they all suck.

Not sure how the SEC did in non conference play this year, but the B1G didn't do so hot. So you would have a major point if the B1G was able to hand it to non-conference team this year. Lets see how we do in bowl games.

I believe that 100%. Setting the first 2 games and the FG kicking aside, they are the most consistent team. Happy Valley is a place where you have to start fast and take that stupid crowd out of the game - or it can be a long night. Troy Smith had a tough night over there once.

If our D shows up for 4 qtrs and our O is firing on all cylinders from the start, then it will be a big win for the Bucks. So far this year, I haven't seen that once.

Ohio State is not a dominant team. They can be beat by anyone given the right circumstances. So, I will worry all the way until we beat the shit out of scUM for our 12th win.
