    Definitely! The line is getting it together and let’s be honest. Ohio State has the best 1-2 punch at RB in the nation. Even over the Wolverines. I like Mullins and Edwards but Judkins and Henderson have the over all package of cutting, pass catching, speed, and misdirection. They also are great at compromising when the defense keys on them if that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like the Wolverine backs rely way too much on their line to block for them. Great downhill runners but they need to be able to adapt to what the defense is giving them. Hope that answered your question Don!

    I agree Nick this one will separate two very talented teams and the winner will be in the driver's seat for the Big Ten Title. Teams seem to be very evenly matched, turnovers may very well determine the winner.
    GO BUCKS!

    I hope the game is as exciting as the Bama /Georgia game. And like that game the loser is not out.

    Well done Nick! I think you captured the essence of the challenge for both sides. Buckeye defense has looked great, but we've not seen anything close to the Duck offense. That said, the Iowa running game is always solid and we shut down a great running back last Saturday and ran the ball very effectively ourselves against an always stout Hawkeye defense. I expect the Ducks will have their hands full stopping our run game without adding a hat to the box. I'm pretty sure they'd rather not have to do that. I expect a battle and would be surprised if it was not a one score game that went 4 qtrs.

    I see that Sportsline prediction for the playoffs still has Ohio State ahead of Oregon. Predicting that they will win the BIG Championship game.

    I heard on ESPNU that Penn State fans are pissed at the time slot and are telling their fans to stay away from the Big Noon Kickoff set in a show of displeasure with FOX.

    Excellent....my advice is that if they really want to make a statement they should just stay away completely and watch from home :D
