Who wins and why?

Nebraska 23-20.

I think Nebraska gets this one on the road

Ohio State.

Buckeyes by 14.

The Ohio State University and it won't be close. The Huskers let one get away (twice) last weekend, I'm not sure they are good enough to overcome that AND the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe.

 

Comfortably covering is how I'll predict the Buckeyes' Saturday.

Should be a very close one. I'll say Ohio State wins by 6, 23-17.

I've never seen the sharps jump on a game so much.

Will it be Nebraska or Michigan to finish off Beck and Warinner? Or will they magically fix the #97 out of #128 passing yards per completion offense?

I know you and the other Ohio State fans on here will probably call me a homer for it, but I really don't see them being able to move the ball enough on Michigan to win that game. A lot can change between now and then, but as of right now that's how I see it.

All rational OSU people are expecting trouble against Michigan right now.

If Ohio State doesn't get it turned around, Ohio State won't be able to move the ball. There is no creativity to the offense at all right now and it has become VERY predictable. Very unlike an Urban Meyer offense. I think Ohio State should be able to turn it around before then, but I didn't see the adjustments against Northwestern that I thought I would see. OSU came out and scored a TD on the first drive for the first time all year, then were completely out of sync the rest of the game. They STILL aren't getting the ball to Curtis Samuel enough and so help me God if they run another option play on 3rd down. I think MSU showed that you can have some success running at Peppers. But I expect Michigan to have that sured up before the game. Michigan should be favored by probably 5 points if everything else remains the same.

I'm not trying to play conspiracy theory here, but it honestly appears like they are holding something back on the playcalling. They've shown that they can be creative playcalling like the Michigan and ND games last year, but now there running speed options on 3rd and 6 and throw at most one pass downfield per game. It just doesn't make sense. I think they can get it turned around. People thought Herman was a bum after the MSU and VT games too, but he got it turned around. I think its more of a unique situation here though because the staleness of the offense came during the middle of the season as opposed to the beginning, but I still find it hard to believe an Urban Meyer coached team can look this bad on offense for an extended period of time.

I think this could go either way. The Buckeyes need to play better than they have recently to win.

After playing down to their competition with a couple of lackluster offense showings, this is the type game that in the past OSU has made a statement. I think that the Bucks come out strong and stay strong.

Buckeyes by 2 td's, maybe 3.
