See notes below
*First issue, last week comments were made by me following the Nebraska game about our last TD and about our fans. Those comments were out of frustration and in disagreement with what happened on the last TD. No, I'm not a traitor, troll or loser; I'm an alumnus. If anyone in the 11W community was offended by my actions I am truly sorry for being ill-manner and not understanding.
*What a game yesterday. Lots of mix emotions and comments based on what's been said after the game. Its ubiquitous with most fans that some things needs to change on defense. I'm not exactly sure how Meyer didn't see that two point conversion play in the 4th quarter as IU ran the same thing against Northwestern. Good playing call tough.
*Blogger predictions are up (http://buckeyelounge.blogspot.com) with the closest people to the game score being Cplunk and captkilloy (ESPN user).
* Optomistic outlook for Indiana: I know most people are questioning our defense after their performance but look at the other side of page. What does this game say about Indiana? Given that the B1G is having its recent struggles with all of its teams, I think Indiana is one of the few teams that could possibly be headed in the right direction for next year and won't take to long to get there. If IU started winning their OOC games in dominate fashion, picked up better recruits and won mores games in the B1G (especially against the Legends), this could add some depth to the Leaders division and the conference that we will need. Given the new format where teams have to play good opponents, if Wilsons future teams start to prove they are better it could be a win-win situation for the conference. They aren't the Oklahoma, V Tech or Texas type of teams we play but having a stroger IU team wouldn't be too bad. Could IU be the new Northwestern?
*I didn't want to start another fourm but could anyone post what they saw from Zach Boren playing LB for us. According to ESPN, Boren is likely to play the position again for the next couple of games while Sabino is out. http://espn.go.com/colleges/osu/football/story/_/id/8504781/ohio-state-b...
* I haven't really watched much of Purdue games this week to say anything about them but lets hope the team doesn't find itself in the same predicament last year after getting past IU then facing Purdue the week after. Best part about being 7-0 is a chance to go 8-0.
*Cleveland Browns get their first win; shout out to the Dawg Pound...
*AMC the Walking Dead Season 3 starts tonight 9 pm ET for any fans out there of the show.
*Throw up your predictions for the Purdue game and I'll post them by Tuesday...
Go Bucks!
42-17 tOSU wins it. Boren named B1G defensive player of the week
An angry fan...rooting for an angry team...led by angry coaches
48-24 Buckeyes.
@BME_Buckeye, I forgive you.
Buckeyes 38-28
35 - 21 Ohio State
42 - 24 good guys
49 - 20 Bucks
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Isn't this the guy everyone said gave his opinion of the 11W faithful from the responses given about the late Nebraska TD being unsportsmanlike?
65-48 Bucks
56-42 Bucks!
38 to 27 buckeyes
45-21 bucks
63-24
You say you are an alumnus but your post on the Husker board had me thinking you were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Why run to a Husker board to voice your displeasure with your alma mater?
OSU -7, over/under 105. Apparently Vegas thinks this will be a repeat of the Indiana game.
I'm taking OSU and the under. 48-28
56-28 Ohio State. Not going to put any trust in our defense anymore, but Purdue's offense is... eh. So "only" 28 points given up.
42- 10 buckeyes
31-21 Buckeyes
49 - 24 Buckeyes
45-30 Buckeyes but I won't be surprised if Purdue scores more than that.

52-38 OSU
59-27 Buckeyes... and I've noticed a lot of predictions have Purdue scoring at least 20... Guess we have to accept this is our defense this year **facepalm**
51-27 OSU
69 - 56 TOSU in another shootout....
"GIMMIE THAT BEAT FOOL!!! IT'S A FULL TIME JACK MOVE" Ice Cube jack for beats..
Ohio State 66
Purdue - 38
49-27, OSU goes 8-0. I'm praying the defense plays better.

45-17 bucks
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
tOSU 56-17
First off, OSU ran the ball into the endzone, they didn't pass it. I have no problem with that.
Secondly, Purdue is a lot more downhill than Indiana and we are fit to match up with both them and PSU. So I think there will be more Defensive plays this week out of our Bucks. I also think OSU is going to get better on D towards the end of the season. face it, they are going to get tired of this.
OSU - 49 Purdue - 20
GO BUCKS!!! URBAN RENEWAL!
I think we'll win quite handily. Purdue is going on the road following a loss on their most important game of the year while we're at home playing to avenge last year's loss and reassert ourselves after a rough last week.
56-35 Bucks
Tough times never last, tough people do
Buckeyes 42, PU 18. Ref's - get a clue, if Hankins isn't in the backfield it's because there are 4 hands holding him down! God Lord, it's like watching Cameron Heyward being mugged all over again.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
TOSU 60 Purdue 21...
Bucks 48 Peedue 17
24-21 bucks score late td 4 win
I'm not even gonna take a guess..so unpredictable...
52-45 S&G
56-13 OSU wins
OSU 3 - Purdue 2 on a late safety
OSU 48 - Purdue 27
vacuuming sucks
I am really glad the Purdue game is in Columbus this year. This defense doesn't need to play at the cursed hollow that is Ross Aid.
Apparently The Walking Dead is all the rage. I've seen more comments about that show than any other so far this year.
We should strive to keep thy name, of fair repute and spotless fame...

59-24, Buckeyes.
Also 41-35 OSU

Purdue has scored 48, 54, and 51 points against, respectively, EKU, Marshall, and EMU. Against teams that aren't complete crap mich, Wiscy, and ND they have scored, respectively, 13, 14, and 17. I'll buy into our D one more time and assume that wounded pride leads them to a better than EKU effort. Our offense rolls again, and Buckeyes win 49-20.
52-35 OSU

a) walking dead is awesome.
b) i agree about IU. You hear their name and say 'man they just suck' but if they get better and are competing for wins, hey good for them and good for the conference.
c) did anybody else watch the ravens-cowboys game? I feel dez bryant is to Dallas what Greg Little is to Cleveland, only more potential and out of shape. and a crybaby.
d) I only hope for a 50 spot on purdon't and wreaking havoc in their backfield all day. AND PLAY TIL THE WHISTLE BLOWS DAMNIT. frustrating to see them mail it in the last two minutes.
I like football
Done making predictions as long as the defense is struggling like they are...all I can say is .....just win!!!
Ohio State 49 Boiler Down 3
Ohio State 70 Purdue 35
And as the game ends, I want the student section to chant, "Get used to it!"
OSU- 41
Purdue- 14
As said earlier, against even a moderate D, Purdue can't get much traction. Plus they are a good fit for our D...
OSU 49-17
If it's too loud, then you're too old!!
Buckeyes 55-20. I think the defense plays much better this week. I mean it can't get much worse right?
OSU 51 PU 10

49-17 Buckeyes. Gonna go out on a limb here and say UFM is gonna make sure these boys on defense are getting the *defense* part down in practice.
41 20 good guys
47-24 osu
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

Linebacker "ew"
52 - 28 Bucks
49 - 13 THE Ohio State
We owe these guys- they keep beating us of late. Urban will bring that up.
56-35 OSU
It pains me that I have to make a prediction like that
63 - 31 tOSU
I can't believe I just gave them 31 points....

Buckeyes 62-17.
tOSU 38- 20
LOVE the Walking Dead!
tOSU 42, Purdue 21
Urban wont let PU beat us this year.
Good Guys win
Bucks 37
PU 28
The defense is pissed off this week. If they don't play better then that tells me the message isn't getting across and the problems may be deeper than we think.
Bucks win again!
OSU 34

Walking Dead Rulez!
So does Breaking Bad!
Love AMC.
OSU 56, Purdue 23

I am going to say 48-38. Purdue is explosive and gave us fits last year. Hopefully Meyer and avenge yet another loss from last season!

I think we get 59 this week. 7 rushing touchdowns, 1 passing and a field goal.
We give up 20 this week. Even with a focused and improved defensive effort, the square pegs on this team won't fit into the round hole which is Urban Meyer's defense.
52-20 tOSU
45-6. Team wakes up and fears the wrath of no champions on D. Vows to never let that happen again.
56-10 Buckeyes cruise and for one week we don't have to call for Fickell's Head! I hope (fingers crossed)....
