Welcome to the eighth installment of Friday Night Fights, 2018.
This series is your opportunity to prove how clairvoyant you are regarding Ohio State's upcoming football fortunes. It also gauges how good or bad your #takes are, should you choose to defend them in the comments.
Here, just watch this video from its tourism bureau:
Let's check the results from last week's Fights and the best #takes from the week:
The Gophers are still a work-in-progress. To only score 14 points the way Ohio State's defense was playing requires mediocrity.
The slant was there all afternoon, and while it felt like the world was ending the Gophers only ended up with 218 yards through the air.
Buckeyes went over 500 yards again, but barely got a touchdown above the Gophers' average.
Maybe the Buckeyes could have some sort of a rushing threat with a situational, mobile QB package? Perhaps we'll never know.
Michigan rounded into form while Wisconsin looked slow, sluggish and generally unthreatening.
Let's check some of the choice #takes:
Piles up was a stretch, but the defense did pitch a 2nd half shutout.
No TD passes allowed, only 218 passing yards surrendered (all of them on slants?) the stat sheet says yes.
Minnesota had its moments, Michigan covered and the B1G East is almost as rough as the B1G West as of mid-October.
Onto this week's Fights:
Purdue is three plays from bringing a 6-0 record into this game.The Boilermakers are 116th in the FBS in defending the pass.Purdue QB David Blough has only been picked off once this season and ranks 24th nationally in passing yards (Haskins is 5th)7.08, 5.63, 4.33, 3.97, 3.22, 3.21, 2.88 yards per carry, games 1-7. Where does that trend go Saturday?What happens Saturday night?
