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 buried Michigan State and then some. Congratulations to Buckeyeincleveburg for my FNF Take of the Week:
Obviously not a very spicy take, but considering how the two prior games had gone, it was kind of a hot one if you think about it!
Here's how FNF works:
- Vote in the Strawpolls for each question.
- Comment below with a prediction for Saturday's contest. Be bold, funny, correct, or - better yet! - all three.
- Check in on Fridays to see if your take gets framed. Then we'll rinse and repeat next Friday.
Here's how you voted last week:
Question 1: Kyle McCord hasn't thrown for 300 yards since the Maryland game. He has thrown for 3 touchdowns four times this year.
This vote was partly affected by me messing up what the top option said. Whoops!
Question 2: How many carries will go to running backs not named TreVeyon Henderson?
This question's answer is affected by whether or not you believe Xavier Johnson carries to be running back carries or wide receiver carries. I put two correct answers, just to be safe.
Question 3: Who will be Ohio State's leading receiver this week?
I mean, was there ever any doubt? When I ask this question again next week, I expect to be able to know what your answer is.
Question 4: Is this finally the week we get a shutout?
So damn close. I think personally that having Proctor out hurts our defense a lot because we aren't able to complicate things as much with Hartford out there.
Question 5: Pick a playoff contender to have their hopes and dreams brutally ruined this weekend.
Sigh. They had to go and ruin it by winning football games.
