Which Remaining Game Worries you the Most?

[RhodeIslandBuck]

vs. Purdue - I'm almost 100 % sure we win this one, our DTs should be able to take advantage of and average Purdue line.

at Michigan State - This game worries me very much. An excellent RB in Ringer and a solid offensive line could spell toruble for the Bucks.

vs. Penn State - I'm not too worried about this one to tell you the truth, we own Penn State at home, but if the game was in Happy Valley, this game would scare me.

at. Northwestern - See the Purdue game

at Illinois - Our inability to stop Illinois' spread offense last year makes me nervous, especially because we play on the road. If our D-Line can come to play this game, I would expect a two touchdown win, but if they don't, This game could be too close for comfort.

vs. Michigan - I always say anything can hapen in this game, but this year, I truly don't see the Wolverines challenging us, especially at the 'Shoe.

@Illinois, and it ain't even close...

You seem to be easily scared.

Not one of those games scares me. I'll be too drunk to be scared come kickoff

I believe both Penn State and Mich. State are going to be tough games and have me a little worried. I think we have, in the past few years, played better on the road and gotten a little complacent at home.

As funny/Stupid as this sounds I have a bad feeling about Meat Chicken too. Just something about them not producing now has me thinking it might be overlooked. Although since JT we really haven't had this problem...maybe it's just me over thinking.

Illinois scares the F out of me... when Juice is on (like he was last year) he is scary good.

I gotta say either PSU or Illinois. Last year Juice tore the D up when it mattered most. PSU looks good on offense, but Purdue did hold them to 20 points.

MSU is fairly one dimensional, if we could shut down Ringer, the DBs are good enough to cover.

And UM is scary only in that tOSU could kill every member of the UM squad, and there just wouldn't be enough strecthers or ambuli to get them all out. The thought of scUM players bodies decaying in Ohio Stadium, on the field, send shivers down my spine... because they aren't worthy to spill their blood on the turf of that stadium.

None for me. Sparty looks tough though.

I voted for scUM even though I don't think they are the most likely to beat OSU. scUM worries me the most, just because the downside is the biggest. I wouldn't like it but I can handle losing to PSU or Ill. Allowing DRod to beat us in his first year, on the road, as a big underdog would be by far the most devasting loss on the table.

All of them make me nervous. The defense [coaching, whatever, doesn't matter] needs to bring it up a couple of notches if there is any expectation of doing well at the end of the season...

Well, If we play to our potential we don't have any close games for the rest of the year, but we have yet to do that this year, which is why I think so many games could be very close.

Which would bode well if it turned out anything like 2002 and the close Big Ten games that year. The team battled through adversity on Saturday and found a way to win when they needed it. Close games build character.

scUM, for the same rationale.

Michigan. Everything will be on the line. They will be playing for pride. We are better, but it is The Game...and if we don't win, that would hurt more than anything else. And if we do win, it would feel a lot better than any other win. So there is so much at stake in this game, it definitely worrys me the most.

The order of the rest goes:
Michign State
Penn State
Illinois
Northwestern
Purdue

[scarletngray]

The three games that concern me most, in order are:

1. Illinois

2. Penn St.

3. Michigan State
