Big Ten Weekend Preview: Week 9

Can anyone tell me the good teams in the Big Ten?  What about nationally?  Is it Army and Navy? Is it Oregon and IU?  Game Day is in Bloomington, must be a good pre-season basketball game.   What the hell is going on out there?


Friday:

Rutgers @ USC (-13.5):  This is a 11PM EST kick.  Enough said.  USC 24 Rutgers 7

Saturday:

Nebraska @ OSU (-25.5):  This is not a good match-up for the young Nebraska squad as the professional team in Columbus will roll them pretty easily.  It will be semi-close in the 1st half.   OSU 42 Nebraska 14

UW @ IU (-6.5):  Washington should come with gifts for IU, since their former OC and QB lead the Huskies to the final PAC 12 Championship and the National Championship game.   IU hired a no name coach that knows how to coach and work the transfer portal.  They are the hottest team in college football as they have played a JV schedule.  Still, they look really good.  (take the points!)  IU 44 UW 28

Illinois @ Oregon (-21.5):  I hope Illinois enjoyed their win last weekend because they are in a world of hurt this week.  Oregon 36 Illinois 13

Northwestern @ Iowa (-13.5):  I should've watched the MSU -  Iowa game but I can't spend time doing that.  Why would anyone?  Iowa 17 NW 10

Maryland @ Minnesota (-4): Is every team in the Big Ten 4-3?  Minnesota 20 Maryland 19

Penn State (-6.5) @ Wisconsin:  Penn State is waiting to be upset and somehow skating through every game.  This is not the week.  Penn State 28 Wisconsin 18

The Ohio St, Nebraska game should be closer than most people think. OSU- 31, Nebraska- 27.

Keys to beat Sharty-

Pressure Chiles. Need a constant pass rush.
Offense needs to show some new things. State will stack the run.
Don't give up big plays. Defense should be able to get some turnovers, Chiles is prone to throwing picks.

UM-34, State- 33

Brady, can't lose contain. Got to be disciplined in your rushing lanes. If you let him get outside then it opens things up for him to run or pass on the run. On paper, UofM will be the best DL MSU has faced. Can the secondary hold up long enough for the DL to get home, especially if WJ doesn't play

We are going to get spanked, unless we start Davis. If Sherrone does not start Davis ....his IQ is less than a baked potato (Spudman!) Somebody up there, dye two turkeys (Maize and Blue) and let them run around the field at half-time. Make little clown masks for turkeys to denote the "clown show" at Ann Arbor. Sherrone has disconnected his Wi-Fi connections with fan-base (a good start).. Sherrone: go for the gusto . commit apoptosis! Or if that is miss-spelled try being a model and wear stylish nooses.
