Hopefully so.
I think with the way our defense is playing right now, Penn State will have tremendous difficultly moving the ball.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.......this game scares me.
Either we'll blow them out.....or it will be very, very close.

Now, you could argue that each of these situations are unique - each of the three losses can be attributed to all kinds of different things (Tressel's first season, The Choke :-(, Krenzel's first game back from injury, or inexperienced players replacing 14 NFL draftees.)

Remember though that the game at UCLA wasn't supposed to be following a bye week. The Bucks should've played SDSU the week before but the game was postponed following 9/11. The loss of a weeks worth of game preparation and a full game had as much to do with OSU playing as poorly as they did than anything. The originally scheduled bye week came before the game at PSU, which the Bucks choked away after leading 27-9, eventually losing by two points and giving JoePa his 324th win to pass Bear Bryant.

I have 5000 vcash dollars for any BPer who will break into the stadium and steal the audio track of that damned lion roar. They will play that atleast 1000 times during that game...and I for one cannot stomach it!

A lot of places use that, including Northwestern. Actually, they were using it during the plays yesterday, too, which is supposed to be a no-no.

Another good point.

It trumps all things because it's the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game. And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

I think this defense can do anything. Smith can't put the ball on the ground like he did yesterday because the game could go the other way if our offense gives up points. Hopefully JT wouldn't hesitate making a change if the bounces go the other way if we continue to fumble. The only way we lose is if we beat ourselves.

Our defense looked really good in 2004 too when we shut down NC State. Then we had a bye week, and we came out to hapless Northwestern, and our defense looked very average. |
