Welcome back to Friday Night Fights.

This is your chance to prove to yourself, or to others, that you are an expert in predicting Ohio State's football success. FNF keeps the receipts and shows everyone how good your takes were – if you are feeling particularly bold, get in the comments and defend your take.

When we last fought... Ohio State took care of business at home against the feisty Youngstown State Penguins. Congrats to Cplunk for my FNF Take of the Week:

Here's how you voted last week.

The offense didn't exactly light the world on fire against Indiana. How will they fare this week?

3rd down defense can sure sting at times, can't it?

Who will lead the Buckeyes in rushing yards this week?

Glad to see #32 still has a healthy complement of believers.

Who will lead the Buckeyes in passing yards this week?

Gebbia and Kienholz were mostly thrown in there for the lols. There were only two possible answers, and the obvious answer here was also the correct one.

The defense was only able to muster a single sack against Indiana. Will that change against the Penguins?

This question gave me an excuse to make as many penguin jokes as possible.

Elsewhere, Alabama hosts Texas in a rematch of a game they probably should have lost last year.

And it wasn't really even all that close!

With that out of the way, here's how FNF works:

  •  Vote in the Strawpolls for each question.
  •  Comment below with how you think the game will go. Be bold, funny, correct, or a mixture of the three.
  •  Check in on Fridays to see if your take gets framed. Then we'll rinse and repeat next Friday.

Kyle McCord seemingly solidified himself as QB1 last week. How will he do through the air this week?

(Vote: https://strawpoll.com/7rnzmek5YyO)

  • He'll show why he is THE GUY, passing for 400+ yards
  • He'll have a fine day through the air, passing for 300-400 yards
  • He'll have a modest day, passing for 200-300 yards
  • He'll pass for under 200 yards, and you better hope it's because he doesn't play the whole game

Much has been made of Ohio State's lackluster performance on the ground to start the season. How many yards will they rush for this week?

(Vote: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18JbWxyQ)

  • Under 100. Uh-oh...
  • 100-150. Eh...
  • 150-200. Getting somewhere.
  • 200-250. Alright...
  • 250+. Wowza!

Western Kentucky has the best turnover margin in the whole country through 2 weeks, at +6. How many times will Ohio State's offense turn the ball over?

(Vote: https://strawpoll.com/BJnX8JqLjnv)

  • Not at all
  • Once
  • Twice
  • Thrice
  • Four or more times

WKU quarterback Austin Reed has already attempted 83 passes this year, to the tune of 6 passing touchdowns through two games. How many passing touchdowns will he have this week?

I don't know if you've noticed, but this weekend's game slate kinda sucks. There are literally no matchups between ranked teams. With that being said, how many ranked teams will lose this weekend?
