Of course NebrASSka at Ohio State headlines the week, but we also get:
LSU at Florida
Georgia at S. Caolina
West Vaginee at Texas
State Penn at Northwestern...... either Northwestern is for real, or we better start worrying about road game in Happey Valley. Mark May on 9-30 Gameday Final says Northwestern in the best in the Big 10.
Notre Dame vs Miami Fla in Chicago
Oklaoma at Texas Tech
Gonna be a fun weekend to tailgate and watch some football, also forecasting high temps's for next Saturday to be in the mid to low 50's, and the low temp to get around 40........ football weather.
over under on points in Texas/WVU game needs to be at least 100.
Can Texas keep up? Does any Big12 team play enough D? They're fun to watch though
I'm not so sure about you JB...but I'm pretty glad OSU isn't playing them this year. Like how OSU's 5-1 against them...I definitely think we'd be 5-2 after meeting them this season. Not much like Vaginee's this season. I'm giving the Heisman to Geno now BTW...just like Eddie did on Fox Saturday. I agree...WVU is for real...well...at least their Offense is ;-)

Nebraska is a decent but definitely beatable team. Wisconsin had a big lead and blew it, they tackled like crap in the second half and Nebraska stopped their offense cold. Taylor Martinez is decent quarterback. Rex Burkhead is a decent RB. They both get the job done at their position. The scary guy is the punt/kick returner and back-up RB - Abdullah- he’s fast in the open field and a threat everytime he touches the ball.
Nebraska’s biggest liability is head coach Bo Pelini - what a big crybaby! As a Buckeye player I doubt he ever got treated the way he treats his people. He’s what I’d describe as a “fear coach”, always berating his players and his coaches and luckily for us that has a big negative effect on the whole Nebraska team. They’ll never be able to beat a really good team because when they get behind he’ll be freaking on his team and get them down mentally. They were just a better team than Wisconsin and that got them the win, it wasn’t Pelini’s sideline antics. Youngstown can’t be proud of this guy!
OSU can beat Nebraska but we’ll have to play our best ball of the season. The offense can’t go entire quarters without mounting extended drives and scoring something. The defense has to tackle well the entire game and they can’t lose Martinez, Burkhead, or Abdullah for one second. If the defense stops them and the offense scores in every quarter, I think we’ll win. Go Bucs!

Definitely worried about Martinez and Abdullah. Runners like that have been our Kryptonite. The little jukey guys kill us.
i'm hoping the MSU win helped some things click for the defense and we'll see continued improvement against Nebraska. Our offense should be able to score much more easily than against MSU so a good defensive effort will win it for sure.
I think West Virginia is good, however completely overrated. If you watched the game yesterday, Baylor's defense made WVU offense look way better than it actually is. For either team to give up that many points is pathetic. Geno's great for sure, but come on.

OSU will spank NEB. Should have last year til Bauserman had to come in and go 1-13 for 10 yards and an INT. They couldn't stop Braxton.
^^this is entirely correct. I also remember one carlos hyde having his way with nebraska while braxton was in the game.
