What word on here triggers [Zeke]

Should be "dominate".

We're going to [Zeke] Sparty.

Mark May likes to be [Zeke]d in his [Mark May]hole.

 

[Gcashwell]

Don't get cute. Run and set up a few shots downfield.

Go J.T. and Zeke. Go D !

This is all you guys have to do. I don't think MSU will be able to score much. This should be a good game for OSU.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Just send these mouthy little bitches home in search of their shine boxes so we can get down to some real business.

Just a little past this time tomorrow its time for The Game and let's be honest, that is all that really matters in this world.

Fuck M*ch*gan

black hearted soulless agents of evil they are

The family van is Sparty's defense...

Heading out to pick the wife up from work, on to Louisville tonight and the 'Shoe tomorrow!
Excited to see the first of 5 straight statement games where the offense performs at the same level the defense has the last few weeks and the defense performs even better. Sort of wish we were an underdog since Urban's teams perform so well in that role, but he will have them ready and they'll be just fine.
GO BUCKS!!

Going to my first game in 5 years. Supposed to be cold and rainy. I have bronchitis. Can't wait!

What better way to go than in the Horseshoe on a football Saturday?

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Fat man, you know what we all want for Christmas. Now finish your milk and make it so!

Go Bucks!!

I say, bring the heavy rain. I think it hurts Sparty more than tOSU. MSU's main weapon is their QB. tOSU's main weapon is Zeke, and when the defense keys on Zeke, then JT. I think our horizontal game would still be fine in heavy rain.

Exactly... I would just love to see Sparty line up and try to beat us with power football. Won't happen.

Only way they win is if Cook goes off and that just won't happen if it's heavy rains.

I'm not sure. I've thought about it, and there's an argument both ways. MSU's secondary is garbage, but have a great D line. Their very pedestrian defense becomes pretty good if they don't have to worry about the pass. But yes, it also helps us immensely on defense taking away their pass game. If it's ugly out there I could see a 17-10 game. Weather I saw had the first half being good, crap weather coming in the 2nd.

Tried that in 2013 and he did (albeit against a worst defense)

Don't believe their RB is that great..would rather protect the pass and make their RB win

In 2013 the bucks had exactly 1.5 linebackers and 1 corner - who was injured during the game and not on the field when the Spartans made their final winning drive.

Weather I saw had the first half being good, crap weather coming in the 2nd.

If that's the case, we better figure out a way to win the first half too.

 

[Arch2H]

JT has to have time in the pocket and be effective with the pass, O line MUST pass protect way better than last week. I don't think we can win it just playing "Woody Football".

 

[Taosman]

Just run the ball right at them and suck their safeties in then hit them over the top.
