Meyer vs Mattison [Ed: It's Meijer, not Myer.]

Strength vs strength.   They know each other very well from their days together at Florida.  So imo the key to THE GAME is going to be who adjusts better among those two.  The Borges/Devin/Denard show will get us 20ish points unless Devin turns into a deer in headlights on the big stage at the Shoe (which I highly doubt will happen).

Will Meyer have a solution for Mattison's D?  Or will Mattison's years under Meyer give him insight on Myer's O that can serve up some surprise answers?

I'm no expert, but that, to me, will be the key not just this year, but in years ahead.  Do others agree?

He was talking about the Australian clothing store. Mattison really has issues with their clothing selectiion.

Wisconsin has been doing everything in their power to give this game away, from that goal line fumble to the missed chip shot.  If we put our game together next week and Mattison isn't exposed by Meyer's inside familiarity, we can take them down.

They didn't look all that unbeatable today against a rather average Badger D.  They stopped Miller running the ball and he really couldn't take advantage with his arm.  I have to feel like our defense is significantly better than Wisconsin's.  Transitive property and all, but compare our showing against Nebraska (scoring drives of 2 and 5 yards) against theirs.  Similar offenses when you compare them and OSU.  Good running backs, excellent running quarterbacks, and a deep threat at reciever.  OSU did way less against Wisconsin than Nebraska did, and I think we did a stellar job against their offense (it was a one possession game in the fourth quarter while our offense was, for lack of a better word, offensive).  I have to believe we stand a really good chance of stymying their O.  (Furthermore, I love our new offense and expect we score 40+ on their incredibly suspect defense.)   :)

"The Borges/Devin/Denard show will get us 20ish points unless Devin turns into a deer in headlights on the big stage at the Shoe (which I highly doubt will happen)." - from the OP

Including today's game, we actually average 30.8 points per game on offense for the season, so I am not exactly sure where you would have gotten this number. We will probably have to score something in the neighborhood of our average in next week's game, I imagine, and it bears out that we can certainly do this - with Gardner in, indeed, we can  exploit Ohio State in the air, which nobody has had trouble doing this year (they yield an average of 259 yards in the air this season). 

Photobucket

In any case, the chart (linked to the full-size Photobucket image)  above shows rather plainly what someone already has touched on - the two offenses that ran the option frequently burned our defense outside, and I assume that this is part of what Meyer would try to achieve. If we can keep contain long enough to get LBs to the ball, make Miller go to the air or make him relatively ineffective in general, then we would be doing well, or at least this is what the numbers would say.

Well then, you tell me why we'll beat an 11-0 team in their stadium when we have yet to beat any team with a winning record on the road over the last two regular seasons. If Northwestern can put up over 400 yds and 31 pts on us in our stadium, don't you think that OSU can do as well or better in the Snakepit? If not, why not?
