He's absurd for a freshman. Very excited to see what he does during his career.

Don't get me wrong... I love an ass whooping (both sides of the ball), but after the OU/Texas game, this one is struggling to keep my attention.

Crazy to think they used to be an elite program.

JT looks really, really good. I know it's against HS school teams...but he is improved so much since the egg he(and the whole team) laid against Oklahoma.

I think JT finally has his confidence back. He's throwing with more velocity, anticipating throws, and even throwing some guys open. Obviously Penn State will be the true test to see how much the team has improved, but I do like what I'm seeing.

I would agree with this, but the entire freshmen running back class is insane. Jonathan Taylor for Wisconsin, Travis Etienne for Clemson, Trey Sermon for Oklahoma, and Cam Akers for Florida State are just some of the other RB's that are crazy good this year. D'Andre Swift for Georgia has looked really good as well but obviously he's behind Chubb and Michel this year.

Jonathan Taylor is really good. Watched him yesterday, he’s gonna be a stud. Crazy to think that dobbins doesn’t have B1G freshman of the year locked up. (Now that I think about it, does that award even exist? Lmao).

That's not really accurate though, Saquon has played 6 games, JK has played 7.

But the averages are swayed toward JK, for sure. And he's doing it on almost 3 less carries a game.

Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin 6 127 986 7.8 10

He's not having a bad season either

Open as a 7 point favorite...kinda surprising.

Gameday will be here as well.

Will they change this to a night game? Seems only fitting after last year OSU had to play a night game at PSU after they had a bye week.

I think it’s due to fox and World Series that it’s set at 3:30

This is exactly the reason--it was on 11W when the time was announced...I got my tix, so I'm just hoping it doesn't rain!

I can't wait to see if the offense really improved or if they have been feasting on poor defenses. And to see if the secondary has improved. They gave up a couple of huge passes at the end of the Nebraska game that have me concerned.
