I wouldn't put too much stock in the Purdue game, nobody is the same team in the opener as they are mid-season. Having said that, Michigan now should be unbeaten going into Ohio State. Until then, three out of four at home and the road game is Rutgers. Michigan State can always be strange as a rivalry game but this year the gap is obviously quite large between them. Illinois looks decent and consistent, but that's a home game.

I expect to lose to Ohio State, possibly badly. Really this win against Penn State and the game last year against OSU has the only blueprint for winning; dominate with the offensive line, wear out the defense. It could happen again, but I think Ohio State is just better.

Amusing quote by Hale: "The Nittany Lions held the ball for just 18:04, and roughly 17:50 of that time was spent in third-and-long."
