Is there any doubt? No, there is no doubt. Ohio State will blow them out of the water.
There is some concern though the offense isn't perfectly in sync at this point in the season. We are running to many cute plays rather than lining up Zeek and having him run 20+ times a game. Seems we are more content with having Cardale and Braxton run more than the RB; has Braxton or Cardale tossed the ball to the RB on any option so far this season?? Good thing our defense is #1 in the country.
The current line is Ohio State -32.5. Will they cover?
My current guess is Ohio State 49 - NI 0.

tOSU will play mediocre football and still win by 27+ until November 7th. The Gophers are a decent team. Ohio State is on coast mode until the final few weeks.

You are typically far off on your predictions.

Predicted the 2014 National Champion. Mr. Big Shot, why don't you post predictions week to week before criticizing others. Trash.

I look at it like this. Zeke was not a household name before week 8 last season, and it is for a reason. Why run your bell cow into the turf when you do not have to. We use him when we need him, and that is about it these games. I think a lot of us in Buckeye Nation tend to forget games last season like Indiana, where it was looking REALLY bad for a while. This squad just needs to FIND ways to win, peak at the right time, and all will be good again, we will get a SHOT at a Big 10 title, and we will go from there.
As for this week, one of the better QB's out there in the MAC (if not the best). The secondary will be tested, but I say we cover the spread by at least one full point. (in case we have some teasers out there in vegas who read this)

Think the buckeyes are more fresh this week, especially the oline, and they play much better. Good test for the defense. Buckeyes win 48-14

NI is not a bad team. It's a good thing they didn't have to play them last week instead of Hawaii. That said, I think TOSU wins big and covers the spot.

I would like to see the offense run a simple game plan of run, run , run and then go with a hurry up throw it down field aproach.
Wow, how do you practice all week and have 2 series like this?
Jones look like crap

Zeke is gaining a whopping 3 ypc so far this week and last week.
put your QB under center and let him have a running start at it.

OSU is trending exactly like FSU last year. Heavy favorite, yet never really playing up to the advantage in every game. I mean, some of these upcoming opponents aren't good at all, but won't roll over unless OSU really takes it from them. Western Michigan next week will be much of the same.

Go to JT and don't look back. JT should have started at beginning of season anyway.

This. He's pretty much been sucking a bag of dicks so far.
