To extend my previous post on ball-hawking OSU DBs versus Penn St:
Since 1998, when Penn St visits the 'Shoe, PSU has 1 - Never passed for an offensive TD. 2 - Never scored more than 10 points. 3 - Surrendered seven TDs to OSU's defense, with at least one in every game. To go with the Pick-6s in the Tressel era, in 1998 OSU scored twice on D/ST plays: a Jerry Rud fumble recovery in the end zone and a Joe Cooper blocked punt recovery taken back for a score, and in 2000 OSU scored on a Mike Collins 11-yard fumble return for a TD. Since 1993, when Penn St visits the 'Shoe, OSU has outscored PSU 197-51, for an average game score of 28-7. This means that in all the Big Ten games played in C-Bus combined, OSU's defense + punt block/return units have nearly outscored PSU's entire offense, 48-51. (Edit - Adding Ginn's 2004 TD return that's 8 TDs by the defense/special teams units. Did we score a defensive or special teams TD in 1993? I don't have that box score). This year will be the first time since joining the Big Ten that PSU will be visiting Columbus as the higher ranked team. 1993 - OSU ( 3) PSU (12) 1996 - OSU ( 3) PSU ( 4) 1998 - OSU ( 1) PSU ( 7) 2000 - OSU (14) PSU (NR) 2002 - OSU ( 4) PSU (17) 2004 - OSU (NR) PSU (NR) 2006 - OSU ( 1) PSU (24) Last edited by Dryden; 10-20-2008 at 10:40 AM. |

Penn State's offense should be able to put more points this Saturday than in the past games in Columbus. Ohio State just have to show up and play with passion and fire right away and keep it at that the whole game. If Penn State is going to beat Ohio State, then make them work harder than they ever did in their whole life. The team needs to watch the movie "300" and get all [censored]ed as hell and motivated to win. They have to use their strength to focus on Penn State's weakness and shatter it: Beanie/Boom/Pryor and the offensive line against Penn State's linebackers and defensive line. It does seem like Beanie always show up for big games, so I hope Beanie can have the biggest game of his life this Saturday. |

I don't see how that will bother anyone. The noise - definitely. The clothing - I don't see it. |

If OSU's defense can hold Royster to under 100 yards rushing and take away the slants and drags, OSU will win. There's no way PSU beats us by consistently throwing passes 10+ yards down the field.

I think the one-color fad is more for uniting fans than to terrify opponents. Noise is definitely a much bigger factor and if having everyone wear scarlet makes those quiet fans louder then I'm all for it.

If the forecast holds up there will be a rainbow of ponchos and rain jackets coloring up the shoe. Looking like it could be a bit wet.
