The Lions' Pride

If OSU does match up well against a pro-style, so be it. Can accept that.

However, I'd also caution that our offense is 1) balanced, and 2) hitting on all cylinders. Like I said, I don't know much about the OOC offenses that OSU has faced, but I wouldn't say MSU is balanced or hitting on any cylinders. MSU's offense has been fairly pathetic, IMO, and that might not be the best example.

It will be an interesting game. Would not be surprised to see both teams score a good number of points.

In "Scoring Offense", MSU was #102 coming into Saturday and PSU was #70. And in "Total Offense", PSU is #75 and MSU is #80. Wow. You said, "MSU's offense sucks.". So, where, exactly, does that leave PSU's offense?

Scoring offense is a useless statistic. Use Total Offense. Doesn't take into account short fields and turnovers. Shows if a team can truly move the ball.

Don't take my word for it:

No. Oklahoma-Notre Dame is much bigger.

This game will be insane though. I actually plan on doing Paternoville this week. So pumped.

One thing that I think is imminent, Beaver Stadium is going to be out of control this coming Saturday when Ohio State comes to town. I'm hoping for an atmosphere that rivals the OSU game from 2005. 2002 Nebraska would be nice too! Matchups that excite me are our offense vs. their suspect D and our D vs their great offense. It's going to be a memorable game and I can't wait! I'm beginning to preserve my voice now and I hope every one that will be in attendance does the same thing. WE as fans need to make sure Beaver Stadium is rocking for 60+ minutes!!!! If your in section NK, get ready to be loud all game long!! Lets go. For the Glory.

My take on this game. OSU may have the worst defense in the Big Ten behind IU or Ill. They also have the best offense in the Big Ten. PSU on the other hand has a high end D and an above average offense. PSU's offense is now starting to click so those looking at stats for the year are a bit off IMO. If PSU can avoid the big plays and turnovers, they can win this game. If they turn the ball over and give Miller the ball back....they will probably lose. I also like the fact that this game is in HV and the kids on this squad don't fear OSU at all. They have a chip on their shoulder that goes way beyond any college team right now.

1. Pro-style? MSU? Only if you're referring to the Cleveland Browns.

2. Here's what should be giving you night sweats for the next week: Storm Klein and your fullback/LB trying to cover our TEs.

PSU has favorable matchups on both sides. Our defensive weakness is the secondary, but OSU struggles to throw. Our offensive strength is the short/intermediate passing game, which is OSUs greatest defensive weakness.

BUT...no one has yet mentioned PSUs largest weakness as a team: STs. If it is a close game, it's tough to imagine STs not playing a huge part in the result. Outside 25-30 yds, we won't even attempt a FG. We lose a lot of field position with our atrocious punter. We don't feature playmakers in either return game. And we've allowed both a PR and KR for TDs in the past 2 games. I would argue that our STs could be amongst the worst, if not the worst, in the country. And they're not showing any signs of improvement as we progress in the season.

They have already done a ND game and an OU game this year. I agree, its more important, but based on the circumstances with OSU and PSU and the way they are playing, I wouldn't be surprised if they come.

Gameday will not be here for years ... they would be HUGE targets

Don't think that matters. Haven't they done two South Carolina games?

Are you kidding me? Our special teams are just fine!!

Well, as a Buckeye fan if I take off my rose colored glassess.....

Our defense....we haven't got one. I'd bet money that when teams are in practice, going against air (no defense), they stop themselves with dropped passes and penalties about the same rate as the Bucks defense is able to stop them. Most teams we've played this year have had their best offensive output of the year against us. I'd also wager that when we play Illinois in two weeks, we will be the one team this year that makes Illinois look like a competent team.

Braxton - Superb athlete and extreme panzy. Passing skills are extremely limited and makes the incorrect read on run plays just as often as he makes the correct read.

I'll be very surprised if the Bucks stay within 10 points in Beaver Stadium this week. I'll of course be hoping that we come in very focused with a game plan that works out well and we get out of there with a W.
