I don't think the WR talent is what it has been for those 50/50 balls

The PSU running back vs the OSU back 7 will dictate this thing. I am assuming the DL can mask a lot but I am not confident overall.

Those big runs are momentum swingers on top of the yards and points. Like timely goals in hockey.

Agree. It's Sanders, Slade, and to a lesser extent, McSorley's legs that are the big concern. Both RBs are slashers that have top end speed and that's the biggest issue they need to focus on. McSorley's just a pain in the ass when you bite on the option and on scrambles.

We've done a really good job on their offense the past 2 seasons tho. Last year we held them I believe to 280 yards offense and in 2016 we statistically dominated them. Against these guys it's been turnovers and field position that lost 2016 and kept it close last season.

The defense they're fielding is their worst in quite some time and their offense went from being very complex to fairly simple.

If we don't turn the ball over (big if) and if we can avoid giving them too many big plays (another big if) I like us comfortably.

Stop the run and don't turn the ball over. That simple.

Yeah, because B1G teams don't get a 1 loss mulligan like SEC teams. That is what they are essentially saying under the guise of some magic, independent algorithm.

If they were truthful they would say it's the most impactful remaining game because we The CFP Committee will not punish Bama, UGA, Clemson or ND if they lose a regular season game.

I mean how the fuck else is it more impactful than LSU and Bama for instance? The loser of that game is likely eliminated from the SEC West race. What about ND and Stanford?

Only the B1G is playing ESPN sponsored elimination games in September

Come on, now, Jax... It's not as if ESPN has a financial stake in the SEC or anything.
