Game Thread tOSU vs. Minnesota, Sat 11/7 @ 8pm ET, ABC

Minnesota is likely going to be limping a bit by the time they make it to Columbus after their matchup this weekend.

I figured they'd be on fire when they play osu. This is all assuming that Peppers is playing in the game this weekend.

I don't like all of this overlooking BYE.

Any chance Kill's sudden retirement has any impact?

Goophers ride the emotional wave, come out at home Saturday night and whip up a #6 on scUM

Then after all the adrenaline fades they come down to Cbus the following week for a proper plungering

I'm not going to lie. Eating that ice cream in those temperatures is kind of impressive. When the wind chill is at or below zero the last thing on my mind is some ice cream.

No stoppin' the Silver Bullets now that JT is @ the helm.

No stopping the defense with our new quarterback? Not following the logic, but I love the optimism!

Less 3 and outs by the offense helps

What a kind way of suggesting that the poor feller doesn't know that the Silver Bullets is not a catchall term for an Ohio State football team.

Keep in mind that last year's game should've been a 38-17 game--at least--if it weren't for a couple of Jalin Marshall turnovers (fumbling the ball as he was crossing their goal line and fumbling a punt hat Minny recovered on our 14 yard line). Not to mention it being one of the coldest games that was played in Minnesota in decades. Minny was a decent team for a while last year (they were #25, 7-3 overall and 4-2 in conference when we played them)...they're mediocre at best this year (held to 10 points by Kent State, shut out by Northwestern, and gave up 48 points to the Huskers).

Their QB really really struggles to throw the ball. It's ugly I've seen small school highschool qb's throw better. So if you bottle up their run game they'll have a really hard time

I imagine the Bullets use a similar defensive plan that was used vs Rutgers, and Minny doesn't have a Caroo. Bring a safety down (Powell) in run support. Hoping for similar results.

Did that STD sideline his ass?
