Season defining game against a MAC offense.....Lets see how you do against Nebraskas Big East offense. OSU should run away with this season. If Nebraska doesn't get them, I don't see anyone getting them. The league is pathetic.

The Big Ten really is pathetic, but this OSU team is not very good, 5-0 or not. Braxton has to completely carry the offense on his back, the pass defense is just awful, and the tackling is suspect. Those are glaring issues to say the least, and means no game OSU plays is even close to guaranteed. This team looks remarkably similar to last year's, the difference is Braxton is better(also no more Bauserman), and better coaching.

Exactly! This team is an enigma. They don't have the lockdown defense. This team is terrible tackling in space and the line can not get the pressure they are suppose to be getting. Our safeties, as usual, are hard hitters and not ball hawks. Our corners can cover but the new technique they want them to use is having them back 10 yrds off the line so we give up alot of easy plays. And Miller has thrown maybe 5 balls on time this whole year. We have issues win, lose or draw.

Great game by the offense. I feel like we had to be close to some sort of record for most points scored by OSU against a ranked team. Truly incredible.

Defense was worrying, but Nebraska's offense is pretty good and they were a bad matchup for us. We struggle against teams that exploit the edge, and that defines them to a T.

Sabino is apparently out 4 weeks with a broken bone in his right leg, meaning true frosh Josh Perry is our new starting SAM backer. Should get interesting.

Very interesting. I'm surprised they are not giving Grant a shot there seeing as he practiced there some this offseason.

I'd think he has to be at the top, right under Woody, I don't really see how you can argue otherwise. He went out like an idiot, but still.

Right behind Woody, as #2.
