kinda crazy to me that he'll probably only go in the 2nd rd. Just shows you how much the RB position is being devalued.

Yup, or they see something about him that won't translate well?  I was surprised when Nick Chubb slipped into the second (barely) and Sony Michel went in the first.  I thought Chubb would translate better to the league.  He was probably the best RB I've seen at UGA in a long while.

never seen a player who appeared faster to my eye than Tedd Ginn JR....and it made NO sense to me that anybody would EVER kick or punt it to him. Nah uh. If I am the coach and he's back there on kick off or punt return I am either touchback or kicking it out of bounds- and I'd take the penalty on the kick off- just not going to let him return it period idgaf- he's not touching the ball on special teams.
I viewed it from the opposite perspective (rooting for him instead of against him) and I completely agree.  I've seen other fast guys who had great track speed but TGII's actual on-field football speed was the best I've ever seen.  I don't know how many times I watched experienced opposing defenders take an angle that should have worked and end up with nothing but a front row seat to watch him streak past.

Fastest I can remember seeing was Darren McFadden. That last season at Arkansas he was just making defenders look silly trying to pick an angle to catch him. I remember a run against LSU where he was getting to the second level and two LSU DBs were aiming to converge on him in the secondary from opposite sides and nobody had a damn chance. 

Dude blazed.

    This will be the 50th time Ohio State and Michigan State have faced each other in football. The Buckeyes hold a 34–15 advantage in the all-time series and are 16–9 when playing the Spartans in Columbus. The Scarlet and Gray have won six of the last eight in this series when playing in Ohio Stadium.


    5 times Michigan State has defeated a Top 5 ranked Ohio State team.

    • -The Buckeyes have won 28 straight conference games (including three title game victories).

    • Ryan Day is 22–0 against Big Ten opponents.

    • Ohio State has defeated Michigan State in five consecutive contests.



      STRANGE MICHIGAN LAWS



      A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission.
      And that's the way it should be, damnit. Yes, for that poor joke, I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight this year.




      In Detroit, people are not allowed to make love in an automobile unless the act takes place while the vehicle is parked on the couple’s own property.
      Many neighbors have had awkward discussions with their kids because of this law.




      In Kalamazoo, it is against the law to serenade your girlfriend.
      However, if you want to get it on in your car, in your driveway anytime of the day or night...have it at.



      What year did the Buckeyes and Spartans face off for the first time as Big Ten opponents?



      Answer: Nov. 7, 1953. Clarence Munn and Michigan State defeated Woody Hayes' Buckeyes 28-13 in Ohio Stadium. Munn and the Spartans also beat Woody in 1951, but MSU was not a member of the Big Ten.

anybody else find it freaking crazy that Ohio State is so loaded at WR that their 4th best WR transferred to Alabama, walked in day one and has been the best WR at Alabama. Talk about being freaking loaded at a position.

Yes- he was staying at OSU until Olave announced he was not going to NFL.

I don't think we'll see a 1998.  I think OSU will roll, and I suspect they would be heavy favorites against all but two teams.

Doom and Gloom TyphonInc here to post:

I'm pretty concerned about this game. If MSU can get their run game / clock control offense moving, against  OSU's suspect defense; that's the best way to nerf OSU's high flying offense.

And I still don't trust our rookie quarterback when the game is on the line. 

I think this will be a 17-24 type of game, and I hope the good guys can get the lead early; because if OSU has to come from behind, I'm not sure our happy feet overthrowing QB, and coach who forgets we a talented Running back can figure it out on the fly.

Glad this game is in the Shoe. I will personally vouch for ridiculous amounts of yelling that will lead to 2 unnecessary mistakes by the Spartan offense/special teams.

Well I do agree with you this will be way closer than the pointspread I have to admit you are very “doom and gloom“ when it comes to the quarterback.  You don’t lead the nation in QBR after 10 games unless you’re a really, really good quarterback.

Stroud is legit. 

I would tend to think he would have a point if MSU was above average pass D or even middling of the pack- but they are literally ranked #130 out of 130 teams in pass defense. 

This is a bad matchup for MSU's pass D. OSU's guys will get open and Stroud will hit them in stride for big plays.

I think the way MSU wins this game is to limit OSU's big plays to between the 20s and play good red-zone defense.  We saw Nebraska and Penn State hold the Buckeyes to a lot of FGs in the red zone.  Then when they have the ball, try to control the clock and limit the Buckeye offensive possessions.  If they can hold the Buckeyes to 26 like Nebraska did, then they can win the game.  I don't think they can win in a shootout.
