Everyone's talking about Gordon, and that's definitely one of two major keys to the game. He can have a good game, but he can't have a great game. OSU can't allow multiple long drives.
I believe the other key is OSU's receptions to WR's or TE's. In VT, PSU, Michigan, and Minnesota, the average was around 12 receptions per game. Against MSU, it was 16. I'm going to say that if OSU completes 16 passes to WRs and TEs, they win. If they don't, they lose.
Cardale...go get em.
