Last week in parenthesis

  • MICHIGAN (1) - still haven't seen one play of them live
  • OHIO STATE (2) - maybe Indiana's offense isn't as bad as the Buckeye defense made them look
  • PENN STATE (3) - if the top 3 play like they have been, I'll move PSU up to #1 
  • IOWA (5) - ideal situation for Hawkeye fans is to keep winning, while failing to score 24 points
  • MARYLAND (6) - this is still just September Maryland until proven otherwise, but they've looked good
  • WISCONSIN (4) - travelling out west is never fun, but the OL needs to play a lot better
  • MINNESOTA (7) - sneaky fun road challenge at North Carolina this week
  • MICHIGAN STATE (8) - they are either going to rally and win a close one, or lose by 30+
  • RUTGERS (11) - undefeated, but not tested
  • PURDUE (10) - very nice bounceback, with a chance to pick up a 2nd ACC win this week
  • ILLINOIS (9) - clearly the defense has a long ways to go to get to where they were last year
  • INDIANA (12) - didn't think they'd throw that much in a game all year
  • NEBRASKA (13) - looking like Rhule really whiffed on his portal QB choice
  • NORTHWESTERN (14) - ended an 18 game losing streak on American soil

On Ohio State- the offense still a bit clunky, although substantial improvements from the QB and Offensive Line in week 2 ( to be expected with all of the new faces). Also- trying 2 QBs- Brown actually got more snaps than McCord. I got the impression Day was satisfied with the explosiveness on offense with 35 on the board- he let Brown play.  Also- only 9 possessions withe new clock rules and the opponent taking full advantage of it.
Not sure what you’re referring to on defense.  Granted- only 2 games in but they are top 4 in total defense, and only giving up 3.4 yards per play.  One TD.  Like I said- only 2 games but at least they have played an away game and a conference game- which many of the teams have not. 
Maybe I am just expecting to much, but I thought that the D-Line got pushed around a little in the first half. To many 8-10 yd runs by YS. They did get better as the game wore on, but I am still a little concerned that YS was able to run the ball the way they did early in the game.
