Our D looked good in that game, but our offense was definitely characterized by one and only one bright spot heading into NW -- Nuuge!!
This sets up differently IMHO. The offense has not looked better than in the last game. Furthermore we have consistently had good D against
all manner of opponents.
Certainly not a given - and the Buckeyes may indeed have to work hard against what was (till last week at least) a seemingly stout as nails Penn State Defense.
The game that has me more worried is the Oct 15th showdown with those Spartans.
Not that I am
not concerned about the 10/8 visit to Happy Valley - but MSU is putting up
huuge numbers right now - their confidence has to be absolutely sky-high.
