Ohio State is 10-2 and will advance to the playoffs.
That would give them one win over Indiana.
The schedule hasn’t changed much, and the University of Michigan is looking at a sixth and sixth season.
So where are you, where are your good victories?
After this, they got Purdue.
Northwest Indiana is the largest state and it’s in Michigan, but it’s hysterical to say Indiana is the largest state and then Michigan.
But it’s like, yeah, I don’t know what to say.
Well, Indiana is 8 years old.
No, we won every game by at least 14 points and never trailed.
Yes, that’s what Ohio State was supposed to be.
that’s right.
Yeah.
Yeah, but because of all this pressure, they lost by one point to Oregon, the No. 1 team in the country, and it looked like they weren’t supposed to watch, it looked like they weren’t supposed to be against, Well, against Nebraska, he averaged 2.1 yards rushing.
What’s going on is this offensive line is not good, they’ve had injuries, they’ve had injuries, they’ve lost players.
In other words, the important question is, is this where Penn State’s defensive line can move?
There are advertisements that say there are potential benefits for the pen.
I don’t think they’ll play too many games against Ohio State, unless it’s Georgia, maybe Michigan last year.
But no matter where you go, there are some back -eye fans who have the advantage of having, some, an advantage, talented, talented, this team. No, I’m saying this is not a dominant team.
I think it’s still October.
It doesn’t really matter.
You’ll forget all this, but Saturday is the day to prove it, and I, I don’t know who’s under more pressure, but there’s a lot of pressure on both of these coaches.
The warning sign for Ohio State was bouncing back from the loss to Oregon State, but this wasn’t a bad loss.
It was a hell of a match, Ross and I were there.
It was a great game, but I took that loss as a springboard and took a week off before playing, and I was really confused against Nebraska.
I didn’t expect that at all.
It’s like when Alabama bounced back from the loss to Vanderbilt and struggled mightily against South Carolina, but you wonder what went wrong.
And you mentioned Dunn, obviously the running game, the offensive line, there are obvious issues.
