Meanwhile Urban Meyer has hired OJ to help him look for the mysterious man in gray who caused this to happen.

I think Wisconsin wins the game. It might be close but this Ohio state team isn’t a world beater (as we know). I think Wisconsin is able to run the ball and will blitz Haskins (which we stopped doing) and cause him worlds of trouble. I’m sure Barrett will start but not play long, the guys ineffective unless he’s running and he’s not going to be running after Gary smashing him last week.

thought we had it bagged, then the inexplicable calling off of the dogs. No holding was being called - and that's not a new thing - so the only thing to do was send more than they could hold and yet we did not. Kid throws lasers, as proven by completions on some of the best coverage we've had in two years. The blitz was called for there imo.

would be "cleared to play" in one week after undergoing any kind of knee surgery.  But to be fair, maybe the MGoDoctors could weigh in on this debate.  Otherwise, I would not be surprised that Visigoth State University would clear him to play given the stakes - since winning is all they care about.  I hope for JT Barrett's sake, if he does play, that he doesn't experience a career-ending injury as a result of playing.

Not an MgoDoc, but this isnt that hard to believe. I had a scope a few years back for a torn menicus and was running in a straight line in about a week. The only reason I wasnt cutting was because of atrpohy of the surrounding muscles (I put the surgery off for months; it is an issue of pain management with ceratin menicus tears). The biggest issue was swelling and I am certain he is receiving top notch care at the OSU med center. I am assuming he has the same type of meniscus injury where they just shave off the torn part as opposed to repair which would be a months long injury. 

I could be totally wrong about his injury but it is possible to have a scope and play within a week.

called off the "investigation" because they realized their "culprit" might turn out to be a big buckeye fan working for some Ohio town's newspaper.

It is really curious how quickly the notion of an investigation was dropped, but I would go even further than your supposition.  I think they did figure out who it was and know for sure he was a Buckeye supporter.  I also think most of the congestion on the Buckeye sideline that led to the collision were Buckeye fans as well.

JT was so hurt that he managed to rush 15 times in the game before going out.   Urban shouldn't have risked JT's NFL career.

no real nice way of saying this but he doesnt have much of NFL career to risk.  maybe some team decides to keep him around the facility as emergency QB or see what he can do at RB.  but even then its unlikely he lasts long.  his skills and value dont translate too well to NFL game.  another outstanding college player with little chance of pro success

I didn't see him playing in the NFL at all. I guess that really doesn't matter to Meyer though as he's paid to win college games. Hopefully for Barrett, he can end up with a good coaching career. I think the backup QB has the potential to be an NFL caliber player

This actually says a lot for Meyer's system.  They can plug in guy after guy that would never even have a sniff at the NFL and not miss a beat.  Even 2nd and 3rd stringers.  They just have to be supremely athletic.  

That makes it a great college system.  It's not Andrew Luck or bust.  

I'm just saying.

Harbaugh gave a gift to his buddy Paul ... great game plan is on tape how to pick apart OSU. If Hornibrook is better than JOK (duh), Wisconsin lights up Indy. UW 35 OSU 16

JOK almost led Michigan to a victory against ohio ... so ohio isn't very good.  If Wisconsin's receivers make the same plays they did against us - then Wisconsin will score.  The question is can Wisconsin shut down the QB scrambles.  If they just line up and play - I think UW wins.

Plus I heard Barry Alverez is going to be the head referee .. fuck you ohio !

Go Blue!
