(12)Ohio State at Minnesota

I'll make some predictions right now on this game: 1. Troy Smith will have more rushing yards than Laurence Maroney. 2. Minnesota is average 299 rushing yards a game. They will have no more than 120 this week. 3. Glen Mason will make some dumbass decisions during the game.

That being said, I really think Minnesota is in trouble. They are very one dimentional and they will not be able to run against us. Cupito better be able to pass or it could get really ugly in the MetroDome. The way I see it, every time the opponent hands the ball off against Ohio State. It is a good play because there is no way in hell the end result will be good for the opponent.

The Buckeyes of Ohio State - 31
Glen Mason is a douchebag - 21

Brett says:

Well Minnesota had a bye week to let that pathetic display of 4th quarter football sink in. I don't think that's going to help too much when they have to go up against a Buckeye defense that devoured a "good" Indiana offense last week. Even with Cupito back, Minnesota hasn't really been able to throw the ball this year, they've depended on Maroney and Russell all year. Even if they could thow the ball it wouldn't matter. I've been kind of worried about this game this week but I just keep reminding myself that it's a good time to play Minnesota. First off, I just have to see Glen Mason on that sideline. Second, we're almost in November so the Minnesota choke is obviously in full swing. Alright I'm feeling better, Buckeyes in this one.

Silver Bullets - 27
Can we schedule North Dakota next week? - 17

Corey says:

Minnesota's a pretty good team with their great running attack. Too bad that plays right into the Buckeye's advantage. The best run D in the nation should be able to contain one of the best rushing attacks. They might not completely shut them down like everyone else, but Minnesota won't put up enough yards to beat the Buckeyes. I'm really lookin forward to how they match up though. Minnesota is going to have to find something through the air to win this game, and I don't see them finding enough.

OSU - 27
Minnesota - 20
