Not to get too off topic, but I love all the "WHY CAN'T WE OPEN UP THE PLAYBOOK??!!!!11" rhetoric, just two games into a season with a new offense.
Have these people watched one goddamn minute of last season? Tressel will open it up when he feels his players are ready.

Bollman has been and will continue to be one of the Buck's most significant obstacles. When I look at this schedule there's no reason to not run the table. The OP asked, "who do you think is our biggest challenge?" I simply don't see our biggest challenge to be an opponent during our OOC and B10 play. We have boatloads of talent relative to our competition and one of the top five coaches in CFB.
Please, tell me I am wrong and have been since 2000. I want to believe I am wrong. I want to believe we really don't have any O line talent and Bollman is exceeding expectations. Or, I want to believe that our running backs lack vision, strength and drive to take advantage of the amazing job our offensive line does day in, day out whether they are banging in B10 play, OOC play, against 1AA or Florida.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Bucks and the results but at the same time I want to see us succeed every game in every phase. I know that we'll have unit failures from time to time. What I don't want to see is unit failures becoming trends.

Wisky, PSU, and maybe, just maybe UM because they will want to beat OSU even worse than at the start of the year now. In all honesty at PSU scares me the most, even more than Wisky because Wisky doesn't impress me defensively, and our D can stuff Hill IMO.
I repeat, PSU is the game that I'm worried about most.

I was at the ND/PSU game last night. I honestly think we are built this year to beat PSU. Our defense will be ready for Morelli & Co.
The last two years they were plays Troy couldn't make due to Tom Bradley's defense that I think Todd will. It will still be close, to be sure, but Morelli is still their QB and we have (on paper) more talent at RB and O line. |

I think PSU and Wisky are the best teams we play. We can run the table if our offense gets it together. I don't think theres a team on our schedule that will put up over 20 points on us.
