Sparty and the Buckeyes are ranked #1 and #2 respectively, in B1G total offense. The highest ranked defense that Sparty has encountered was scUM, in at #9 (WTF?). The other opponents are all out outside the Top 25, except Nebraska, which is #25. I didn't take the time to look up all of the Buckeyes opponents, but here are the teams/rankings for Total Team Defense, according to www.ncaa.com:

M_ichigan #9, Nebraska #25, Oregon #67, Purdue #77, Wyoming #86, Indiana #98, and E. Michigan #119. 

Not exactly a Murder's Row, but probably similar to the how the Buckeyes schedule would rank team-by-team.

These stats are somewhat irrelevant, since there will be plenty of incentive to win this game, and what has transpired so far this season will mean squat come Saturday night. However, the stats also reveal that Connor has only been sacked 5 times all season, and has only thrown 5 picks. Two of those picks, and three of those sacks were courtesy of the Oregon Ducks, who absolutely shut Sparty down in the second half of that game. And there is absolutely no reason why our defense cannot do the same thing.

So, my point here is this: Connor hasn't seen much pressure at all this year, and when he did, his game was affected, and Sparty lost. Get on him early, rattle him good, and we will have an excellent chance of winning this ball game.
