Sparty has the #1 rushing defense, #22 total defense.  The Buckeyes have the #3 passing offense.  All per NCAA.com stats.
S&P+ defense rose from #14 to #7 this week.  They haven't done the more extensive breakdowns yet.  Last week they were #2 Run Defense S&P+, #40 in Pass D.

Can anyone play football at all in sub-freezing temperatures?  I thought they'd just cancel it or move it inside or something.

FWIW, all the hand wringing about MSU's defense post Narduzzi, they finished #4 in S&P+ in 2017, and currently sit at #7.  Not too shabby

OSU switched from a RPO heavy offense to adding more jet sweep action to help the running game.  I wonder if they use even less RPO action - Haskins has a noted issue of never wanting to hand off if he has an option to chuck it.

I would say, once you accept the idea that your team kind of sucks, and the pressure is off, it is fun to root for them without much in the way of expectations.

It's even more fun when your expectations can be raised to the point of being 8-1, ranked #8, in control of your Big Ten championship destiny qualifies as "kind of sucks"

Bama envy is causing a lot of OSU fans to disrelish one of the greatest decades in Buckeye history.

Oh, overall they've been great.  But this is easily one of the Urban's weakest teams, and the weakest since his first year.  His first year was super fun, because they had no expectations, went undefeated, and were precluded from the postseason so they didn't have to be whipped on a national stage.  The 2014 team was ultra fun, because there were no expectations, and they ended up being extremely good and they were champs.
What I'm saying is expectations can really sour the fun on a season.  I came in thinking they would be really good.  They ain't, and now that we can all see that, it's a lot more fun.

Kind of interesting - for B1G purposes, UM is all green.  But for playoff purposes, seems they should be pro-Buckeye.

I'm glad that the Ttun fans are little brothering in favor of Sparty instead of OSU.
