Redshirt sophomore linebacker Darron Lee might’ve put it best:

“It was right when we got in that locker room down there, we usually bring our coaches to talk about who did well on offense and defense and special teams. We skipped that. We know what this week’s about and it’s on, honestly.”

Hey Sparty:

 

[Buckeyebred97]

I think key to getting a win will be to rattle Cook early and force some TO's and counter on any mistake they do make. This is a game where we can't settle for a FG in the redzone. Ill take good guys 28-17

Ohio State needs to play solid, mistake free football with some big momentum changing plays thrown in (turnovers, blocked punts, kick return, long touchdown etc.).

If OSU can jump out to an early lead I think the D is good enough to keep it. That said, the wheels can't absolutely fall off on O leaving the D out to dry like in the PSU game.

Coaches need to have a hell of a gameplan this week. This is the season's test and previous ones have not gone well. I hope they do everything they can to put the players in a successful position.

Someone cryo me until Saturday afternoon.

I'll need a doctor's note though.
