What games this year worry you the most?
Texas(duh) and Iowa for me. Then there Mich, they are desperate to win.

ditto...hopefully troy can surpass craig and notch that 3rd win vs UM. I'd love a bcs or nc win, but beating UM is crucial.
IF their OL gels, this will be the best UM team since the '03 loss.

Along with the big three (Texas, Michigan, and Iowa) Penn State worries me slightly just because it's the first game of the Big Ten season, but hopefully it will turn into a good ol' fasioned revenge ass kicking (ala Iowa). It will be the first game I'm going to this year, I hope the stadium is rocking (I'll do my part), we owe them.
If we manage to get past week five unscathed it should be smooth sailing to a classic showdown with Michigan in the Shoe (which I will also be attending  ) with title hopes on the line, just like it should be.

Home field advantage seems to count for a lot in the OSU/PSU series, which is why I was worried about last year's game, and not so much about this year's. At Sparty is more of a concern, in my opinion. |

Texas is obviously the biggest speed bump in our season. Our biggest trap game isn't Iowa, but Michigan State. They always play us tough and with easily four other games that are "bigger" on the schedule, MSU is a trap game in east Lansing.

Agreed about Texas, Iowa, scUM and Sparty. JL Smith is feeling the pressure to win and that game is fairly early in the year, Oct. 14; so they likely will not have packed it in for the year at that point.

See Im not worried about Penn state this year. IMO the reason we lost last year was our O-line fell apart(inj. caused us to move everything around and get all messed up) Without there Number 1 D-linemen that should help us out, also the fact that Troy is learning the Offensive line more. No to mention our guys got really confused, so being at home will help us a ton. So that game I see us winning.
Mich. State is also one of those games that worry me. (Where do we play that at?) They are a team that can beat anyone at any givin time. If I remember corectly, we could have easily lost that game. At the end of the 1st half there coaching staff completly messed up, then we got that punt return. Had that not happened it would have been a differnt game.
