I feel both games will be tough games. Purdue has shown a penchant for not being able to close out an opponent. They gave away the Iowa and Michigan games last year. Purdue will be tough, but I do not see OSU looking past them.
Wisconsin is always a pain. I keep reading about the excellent receiving corps, but I honestly do not believe that Evans will be like the Evans before his knee injury. Yes, he will be good, but before he was injured, he could have (and most probably would have had he opted for the draft) been a top 5 pick in the draft. Orr was their go to guy last year, and I do not see that changing. Wisconsin has a running threat that Purdue does not possess. But Sorgi must develop beyond what he was last year, or it will not matter how many great receivers Wisconsin has. When Bollinger went out of last year's game, a lot of steam came out of the Wisconsin offense. This will be OSU's toughest opponent IMO. Again, I see OSU rising to the challenge in this game. OSU will have a bye week to get healthy and ready for this game, and Wisconsin will not have an easy game the week before travelling to Penn State.
