After 3 games (4 by the time we play them) you can get a much better picture than after 1 game.

300+ yds passing pg and 32ppg vs TCU,ASU and Kansas isn't a good defense. If you have watched any of their games #21 and Backus are just absolutely lost out there. #21 makes Nickey look like Ronnie Lott.

They do however have a very respectable front 7. Not in the small fast NCSU/MU mold but in the traditional big hog B10 mold. The Minny game will tell a lot, but right now I would say they can make us throw more than we probably want to.

Bad news for them is after they make you throw a few times you never want to stop, its just too easy.

We could go on and on speculating about NU, but bottom line to me is that much like UC and MU they can't beat us without a lot of OSU help.

What was wrong with Donnie Nickey... I liked him.

Great point ... If it wasn't for our help we would have beaten MU by at least 14 points. If the turnovers battle continues to stay in our favor we will win.

This is a good road experience. Sure, it's complete cheese the way NW always seems to schedule us at night in Evanston, but could you really ask for a better team to get your "night road game" merit badge against?

Zwick should have a fairly comfortable evening, and we should give our other in conference friends some more Santonio Holmes highlight films for their collection.

It would be nice to see Ginn get his timing down and get some big touches. If he makes our WRs a legit double threat, then almost everyone we play is going to have to keep their safties deep. Then all we need is BJoe taking out the MLB and Ross won't have to make cuts OR look for the hole.

Two weeks to prepare for NW. Who the hell makes out the B10 schedule? Lloyd Carr?

I still like the set up we have/had for a young team ...... two lower division teams .... then NC State ... now our bye week to go back to fundamentals

and we get a chance to heal ....
then we get to start the Big Ten with one of the weaker teams, get an away game outa the road... and return home for our first home game in 4 weeks
to play a decent team in front of a home crowd ready for action .....

I think we matured against NC St. ....

I think you see lots of Pitman, I think JZ hit Ginn in stride, and we cruise....

Bucks 34
NW 3

IMHO

Well after 4 games for NU we know that the defense is among the very worst in the nation.

I'm sitting here in the soup of my 3rd hurricane in the last 6 weeks, so I'll forgo a lot of stats but if you look it up I think you'll find:

They haven't kept anyone but Kansas below 30 points

Run D is still good on paper but again, is it because its soo easy to throw on them??

Their pass D is an absolute joke.

Offensively they look "ok" but a lot of their stats were built on that shootout with TCU who can stop no one.

They run similar schemes to MU and NCSU(sideline to sideline offense) but lack the game breaking athletes to hurt us deep. #9 is the only thing they have close to a deep threat.

All they have going for them are the intangibles of a home night game to save their season and the mathmatical certainty that the streak has to end eventually.

I don't see it happening this year.

OSU 30+
NU lucky to score

IBleedS&G could go either way
The Wildcats always run that wide open spread and this should mean a real good test for our young dbs. With Fox out, we will find out how good our dime set looks. Maybe more importantly, lets get a running game going. If Ross doesnt get it going after 10-15 carries, please, i beg, please give Pittman a try. He is avg 8 yds a carry. I also look for JZ to have a better game in his second road game. We should handle them but they will get their yards as well. Go Bucks.

I tell you what.... the way Carpenter and Hawk have been making tackles in the open field makes me less fearful of the spread as in years past. IMO against the spread you have to have players in the olb's spots that can play on air and help the dbs. I think its obvious that they'll be able to help shut it down!

go-bucks!!!
