After seeing yesterdays game what games scare you now?
Before the season started i scared by the Texas game and the Iowa game maybe the scUM game. After seeing how porous our defense played against the run and how bad the tackling was Two more games scare me.
1. PSU- even though it is in Ohio stadium if they could get and early lead on us by running the ball and rely on their defense to win the game.
2. MSU- with that offense i think this game will be a huge shootout. Though we have some weeks for the defense to gel its up in east lansing and i always hate when the bucks play up there.

The only thing that scares me is poor tackling and pursuit angles by Ohio State. We get those two situated, we'll be more than fine.

I respect your opinion, but MSU? They had to everything they could just win their game. Now they always seem to be pesky for OSU, but if anything I would have thought yesterday would have made you feel better about going up to MSU. Just kinda suprised me.

Texas. I think most have written them off. We're at their place at night. Its not as easy as one would think. They did not look bad yesterday at all. OSU at times had me worried how quick they were going to progress by next Sat.
55 points is nothing to sneeze at no matter what team. Clearly they still have talent to score.

The same three that scared me before, Texas, Iowa and MSU. And MSU much less cause they barely beat Idaho, who finished near the bottom in every defensive ranking last year. I trust the coaches will be working hard to correct the pursuit angles and tackling problems we saw yesterday.

I don't know anyone who has written Texas off. Sure, many have displayed confidence but almost everyone I've talked to and from what I've seen on this board, Texas will be the biggest challenge of the year. As for the other challenges, they still the same: Texas, @Iowa, Penn State, scUM.

Nothings changed for me. Iowa, Texas, and Michigan State, in that order, where the ones I was worried about the most before the season began, and I don't think anything has changed after yesterday.
Tate's experience at QB and his scrambling ability is the only reason I have the Hawkeyes ahead of Texas at this point.
Yesterday was like 2004 all over again. NIU put those screens and flares on film, and now every single opponent OSU plays will run that until the defense proves they've figured out how to shed blocks, work through traffic, and stop it. Iowa, UT, and MSU all have the ponies to run what NIU did, only better.

texas: defending national champions with 16 returning starters.. plus at night in their place
iowa: first ever night game at iowa, the fans will be insane (similar to PSU last year) especially if we are still number one.. plus drew tate
um: they will be playing to ruin our season and for carr's job.. it will be a very intense game, even if it results in a blowout (i think it'll be a 6 point game)

If we're good enough to survive September (losses = 1 or none), I'm confident we'll have nothing more to be scared of until January.
