This should be a trendy upset pick given OSU's lack of defense.  Luckily, sounds like Cooper and Harrison will be back. Bob Landers is probable and Damon Arnette is questionable.  

How many yards will Rondale Moore get? The o/u is probably around 160.

I've had this game circled for a while. This one scares me. In spite of all of the discussion about B1G QB's as to who is best and blah, blah, blah, David Blough is one of the best looking throwers that I've seen this year. And now with Rondell Moore to help carry the load, this offense is scary good.

Should be a good game. Purdue can really move the ball.

To say I am over the top stoked for this game will be an understatement.  Biggest game in Ross Ade we have a legit, not just hoping and wishing we can beat a true top-ranked team probably since the OSU game in 2007 in Curtis Painter's jr year.

That week before (Purdue was 4 if not 5-0) was the only week Purdue has been ranked dating back to 2004 when Purdue went from 5-0 and leading Wisc 6 10 with 6.5 mins left to unranked in 3 weeks.  In 2007 our offense was quickly exposed as none of out WR's could get separation and as was re-proven many a times in the Painter era, he couldn't beat a good team.

I'm sure OSU will out class the hell out of us via huge talent surplus (keep in mind Purdue has 4 years of Hazell's last place recruiting classes making up at least half the team), but Blough is playing at an unbelievably confident level right now, 18 y.o. Rondale Moore may be our fastest player since Ron Woodson, and suffice it to say, I really, really dig the hell out of the guy who is calling our plays.

Really big test for the Buckeye defense.  Purdue is much better than the Minny and Indiana offenses that OSU made to look pretty strong, and that was at home.  The focus on running the ball is overblown, I think, given how defenses are playing them and Haskins lack of running.  OSU may try to establish the run more, but I don't see what that gets them.

I am hearing on 610 WTVN that he has withdrawn from the team and the school. Not sure what that's all about.

didn't hear that. That is a little weird. I know he's going to be a top 5-10 pick and instant millionaire, but you'd think he'd at least try to finish his degree in 3 yrs. Not impossible. More and more football players are now finishing their degrees in 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 yrs because of the grad transfer rule where if they have that degree they can transfer without sitting a year. Never hurts to have a degree from a great school like tOSU.

I don't know when the terminology changed but I don't think fans respect the words "core injury" like they respect "sports hernia." They are very sucky nagging injuries.

If a player can graduate in 3 years, he definitely knows it by year 2.5. If Bosa is leaving, the credits are unlikely that close. Also: if you were told you'd be a multimillionaire before graduation and can no longer contribute to your team, what would you do? I bet most people would flee. Either to enjoy a little living or to work 100% on physical therapy and cautious training with an expert in the lead-up to the draft.
