JT is better than Tommy Armstrong, and uncertain line play has bothered us all year. I'd save my money for Wisconsin's visit the following week.
Although the Cats have a lot of issues and deserve the more than 3 TD spread, the youth of OSU may be a factor and it could turn out closer than expected. But it would really require us to play lights out, OSU to play uninspired, and may require a Penn State like break. Otherwise, we lose by more than 30. They are going to cover Carr like wallpaper (OSU has 2nd best B1G passing defense* by yards, 5th by efficiency) and the speed of their linebackers will really make it tough to run (5th best B1G rushing defense). Our best hope is Thorson being extremely accurate (4th best passing offense by yards and 2nd best passing efficiency), Thorson being able to get us a few first downs with his feet (mobile QBs cause them issues), and a second receiver, like Nagel, having a career day. Our chance is to stop the run early (we are 4th best in B1G against the run) while OSU depends on running the football (2nd best in B1G). If we win that battle and get a lead, OSU would be forced to pass (6th best in B1G n yards and 4th in efficiency) and that is probably where they have some vulnerability.
It is only a small chance that the game would go that way but it is possible. It is exactly how Penn State won (holding OSU about 100 rushing yards below their average and forcing Barrett to pass and sacking him 6 times). Our rushing defense is much better than PSU.

I am not feeling this one at all. Of course, that is a good sign as I can't pick my nose when it comes to the Cats.
Why so cheap? I thought you were Mr. Moneybags, with your uranium status with Marriott, and all.
Wrassler's posts look like my posts if you took away my backspace, shift, delete and punctuation keys (other than the exclamation point). Also, I probably need to be about a dozen beers deep as well...
I seriously wonder if the Wrassler knows where the backspace, delete, shift, comma and period keys are on his keyboard. I think he uses the exclamation point so much because it's in the far upper left, and it's easy to find. Presumably he must know how the shift key works if he can get the exclamation point to work...
We need three or four tweeting "Thanks for the interception" and maybe a couple other thanks. KOR, PR, etc?I think you have to tweet it for it to come true.
That's absurd. The 'Cats don't get no respect. We may not win, but we'll cover the spread.
I knew there was reason I never liked Penn State fans. If that clown, Franklin, can lead PSU to a victory over OSU, Fitz can certainly do the same.
Child Porn for PSU?
I'm genius because I learned that if I bet the sun would rise in the east, somehow I would lose. Life is much better for me with other people making the decisions. Btw, not one person took NU among my people. Not much action, but it was all OSU. And I would have gone that way too...
But nice attitude tool. You are getting more gcg every day. Sad, because your substantive posts are pretty worthwhile....
Ha! What's the matter, you shell it out but can't take it? just think guys with such cynical attitudes need to be reminded of how wrong they typically are. I'll leave you alone because I don't want to hurt your feelings any further.
If "more GCG" means "more willing to call out your ********," then I'm all for it.
Whatever. You substance has dropped below worthwhile. Hope you lose the attitude some day and return to meaningful posts or we might as well just call you mike.
I actually take it as a sign that I'm doing things right when you disagree with what I have to say.
