Offense is going to absolutely dominate... Defense only gives up 6 points. 38-6.

Yikes!
Outside of Bacher and Sutton, they lack play makers.

They didn't exactly dominate Duke statistically, but they did outproduce them my a significant margin in both yards and first downs.
Silly mistakes by both players and the coaching staff cost them that game.
Speaking of silly, I know how it sounds to say it; but Northwestern was caught looking ahead. They did not look like their heads were in the game at all.
Normally, after a team gets caught looking ahead they go out and play well for at least a quarter or a half. This kind of loss can be utterly demoralizing though.
And with Tressel playing on the '04 angle in the locker room right after the UW game, it is very doubtful that the Buckeyes are going to be flat.
I think this one will get ugly fast and stays ugly until the clock strikes zero.

Sutton did not participate in the game against Duke.
His injury report ..
Quote:
|
Injury update: Northwestern tailback Tyrell Sutton sprained an ankle in the second quarter of last week's victory over Nevada. He returned for just one play in the third quarter, and he'll be a game-time decision for this week's game against Duke.
|
Most likely he will be back in the line-up for the game against the Buckeyes.

I can only see the 'Cats scoring in supreme mop-up duty, unless they hit a fluke play at some point.
40-3 or 40-0 is my prediction.

All hopes of NU sneaking up on/catching OSU flat waved bye bye in 2004. JT has quietly put a little something extra on NU's ass the past two years after that debacle.
He would never blatantly try and run it up but I have a feeling the NU scores will be significantly higher than the average when people go back and review the JT era in the future.

If I'm the Cats I try some option with Bacher and Sutton.
But, you gotta wonder how healthy Sutton is.
