Welcome to the seventh installment of Friday Night Fights.
This series tests your clairvoyance around the upcoming Ohio State game and weekend festivities. It also gauges how good or bad your #takes are, should you choose to defend them in the comments.
First, here are the results and some prime takes from last week's Fights:
Texas had Southern Cal beat and held Iowa State - which just planted its flag in Norman - to seven points, in Ames. The rest of the season is setting up fairly well for Herman, and this is beginning to look more and more like a stumble out of the gate.
Shout-out to everyone who chose forgettable romps over Rutgers and Purdue instead of this, literally the only thing about the 2011 season worth remembering.
To be fair, all answers are acceptable. Freaking out is as much a tradition as dotting the i.
TRICK QUESTION last year's score was actually 62-3. And the Buckeyes could have had 90 on Saturday if they wanted to. Sadly, they didn't.
ONE MORE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK:
If you cannot enjoy that play because you think it kept Ohio State out of the CFP with the most loaded roster it has ever had, remind yourself that team was listless until Michigan State woke it up. You cannot change one element of history and keep the rest of it perfectly intact. Everything that would have followed a Michigan win that night would have changed.
Plus, that play is eternally hilarious and you're robbing yourself if you don't allow it to bring you joy.
Onto this week's #takes:
The last time Nebraska was this big of a home underdog (+24) was 60 years ago.Ohio State was 130th in passing yards allowed after the Oklahoma game. It's now 17th nationally.Urban Meyer has won at every B1G stadium except Nebraska and Iowa, where he's 0-0 lifetime.Let's agree Army, UNLV, Rutgers and Maryland were cakewalks - and they were supposed to be. So what grade does OSU get for the past 4 games?Michigan visits Bloomington coming off another crushing home loss to Sparty.
