I would like to see lots of pressure on Navarre. Rattling him is the key as it throws him off of his game. Getting past their offensive line is going to be tough, but with the line we have and the right blitz packages we should be able to move him out of his comfort zone. He cannot be given time in the pocket to throw.
On the offensive side I would like to see us run outside some. It may have been Oregon that had so much success against michigan running outside. Heck, how about some shovel passes too? If it works for the Browns, maybe it can work for the Bucks.
Special Teams - I agree with the post that we need to get better on kick coverage. Breaston is no one to fool around with. Giving them no chance of return this week is going to be more important than pinning them inside the 10 on kickoffs.

Mr 1961,
If you want to rape someone why don't you go to some other board. $700 for a pair is total bull[censored]. Why don't you put them on Ebay, get out of here.

1961,
If they are next to OSU's section they are burried in the endzone... you will be lucky to get $500 for the pair... those seats are not very good, and ticket brokers have the same area's for much less... good luck getting that much for those tickets... Be careful if you live in scUM land, because if you post that price on an auction site living in that state you can get in trouble for doing that...just an FYI...

We will definitely need to hit Navarre and get his uniform dirty. The only time MSU put pressure on him, he caughed up the ball.
I look for our defense to mount pressure as the game goes on. We played a lot more man to man in the Purdue game than we have all year, so that may be an omen for this game.
Offensively, I won't be surprised to see SM get some time in this game. I thought he would have seen some action in the Purdue game as well to shake it up and little and get that last home game action. Branden Joe and Ross both ran the ball well against Purdue and I think you'll see some more carries out of Joe Saturday.
It seems like the offense adds a few new wrinkles each and every week. This Saturday I think we will see the whole playbook exposed...

If we can shut down Michigan's running game, we have a very good chance to win this game no what the offense does.
I expect we will see some new wrinkles from the offense this week. We may see Troy Smith in on offense. So far this season he has ran every time he has taken the snap- could there be a sprint out with option to pass play. Maybe a reverse to Troy throwiing it back to Craig. Maybe some more of Gamble lining up in the backfield.
I also expect to see a reverse on the opening kickoff or start of second half. I believe we've shown the fake reverse once this year on a kickoff return.
Will Allen has been quiet the last couple of weeks. It's time for another Allen special this week.
It's only Monday, I can't take this anymore.

The players already have a little billboard material, and it does not come from their team. Quite simply, TSUN supplied us with 1000 fewer tickets than they have in previous years, 4,000 instead of 5,000. I guess they'd rather have another 1k fans sitting on their hands than 1k loud roudy fans rooting for the opposition.

Is it Saturday yet?
Just some rambling thoughts during the Big week....
I love how all the writers get [censored]ed about USC dropping a couple of spots in the NY Times poll after a win. If my memory is correct, I think there were 3 weeks where we won and another team passed over us. Of course the computers have got to be wrong, not the writers.
Poster: The offense sucks.
Poster: Tressel has only lost one game over the last two years.
Poster: I am not talking about the team, I am talking about the offense.
Poster: Tressel has only lost one game over the last two years.
Poster: You can't use that as an argument. I am talking about the offense.
Poster: Tressel has only lost one game over the last two years.
There, that should take care of about 20 threads.
I will say, that people should be allowed to complain about the offense, but should also come to terms with the fact that Tressel considers it the least important facet of the over all game. Hence, using his record as a rebuttle is perfectly acceptable. Special teams, defense.....than offense. He seems to think that is the way to win games. Can't argue with the last two years...so far.
I was more worried about Purdue than scUM. Of course, now I am worried about scUM. They won't be able to run on us. But what happens if this is the one week that Navarre plays above average. Can we shut down their 3 wideouts?
We need more people to post over here consistently.
I think our offense has improved the last 4 weeks. I think no turnovers against Purdue was huge. I know we moved the ball, we just had breakdowns. Is it OK to credit Purdue for that?
Just was listening to the Buckeye round table and the mentioned all the problems on offense. Somebody said "look, there over there at Woody Hayes trying to figure out how to average 450 yds per game." Karsartos agreed and then said "of course, we did average 450 yds per game but ended up 9-3 each year. Maybe they are on to something."
I love Herbie, and respect his professionalism, but does he have to sound so depressed that USC got knocked out of the number two spot? Is it crazy to think that someone, somewhere (maybe Herbie?) can stand up and say "You know, I think USC is deserving, but lets give the Bucks some credit..."
I don't think they can run on us. Can we run on them?
Is it Saturday yet?
