BuckeyeXtra - Buckeye Back Talk: What are your thoughts on OSU ...

Should be a good game between the trenches whoever establishes that line presence first will win the game. Hopefully are linebackers and DB's are ready for those quick screen passes. GO BUCKS!!!

Bucks would have to play the perfect game to win. I'm the biggest fan around, but reality strikes.....no offense, no key back, no passing game, a good PSU defense.......it'd take a minor transformational miracle based on what we've seen this year. GO BUCKS!

Tressel falls to 0-7 in big games since the NC game against Florida. He has a lot of catching up to do in big games. Enough said.

Gonna be ugly

I recognize he has almost unlimited abilities, but I'm just waiting for Pryor to put it all together with the mental component of being a quarterback. If and when he does, that's when he and Ohio State will be unstoppable. Until that point, the team will not win championships.

if buckeyes run the ball they win. penn state has good linebackers and will look to contain terrelle pryor today. pryor needs to play a patient mistake free game,may play well back in home state'"

I could make an argument for it to go either way. To date both teams have had a cupcake schedule. Both failed their biggest challenge, USC and Iowa...Penn State failing horribly. I have been the biggest critic of OSU's line. Penn St. lost an All American and two All Big Ten O lineman. Penn St. has young, inexperienced receivers but a great backfield. The Lions linebackers will make it difficult for Pryor to break containment. On the other hand, Pryor will be the best athlete on the field. Clark is no chump. Neither team has a proven backup. OSU's defense will be a nightmare for Royster and Clark. Penn State has their fine LB's finally at full strength. OSU has an unproven, 26 year old kicker going into a very hostile environment. That crowd will be a huge
factor unless OSU gets off to a fast start. Penn St. has had a tendency to start slow, that can't happen today. The skinny; I see a hard hitting defensive battle with Penn St winning unless Pryor has a huge game. Despite his performance to date, I won't bet against him. Penn St. has young, unproven DB's and could be exploited if Pryor comes to play. I believe he will.

21 to 7 Penn State 28 to 14 Iowa and lowly Michigan will come out on top :)

The big question today is who shows up at qb,Terrelle Pryor or Richard Prior.

Bucks break through with a shocking 3-touchdown victory. Take Iowa by 3 next week at the 'Shoe. Maul Michigan in the Biggie. Duckpin bowling in January.

It will be all about mistakes and turnovers. Whoever has the least will win.

If Ohio State loses to Michigan, it will only show how bad Ohio State really is. Michigan is just horrible.

Unfortunately Bucks get rolled today, they lack the swagger to win a big game. Too many turnovers by #2, and an ineffective offense will deliver us our 3rd loss of the year, and the fire Tressel posts to reboot.

won't be so many dropped passes by PSU as has been the case with most of our opponents this year, D will not look nearly as good as it has. This could be a real butt kicking for our Bucks .... yet I still believe we can beat Iowa! PSU will out coach us in every way possible for a big victory ... hope the humiliation does not cause us to loose site of the potential for the Bucks againt IOWA and scUM. Coaching lost us Purdue, but think about it, if we had taken care of business in that game, like we surely could have... we MIGHT have gotten by with a very young and poorly prepared team with losses only to USC and PSU, that would have been a pretty good result considering who coaches us and the skill set and game plan he puts on the field.

GO BUCKS .... call you own plays! ; > )

I agree with your Iowa thoughts, I think JT or no JT we can win that game... scuUM ... well we should win that games ... sadly those are the ones the worry me most... the games we "should" win.

PSU ... turn out the lights... PSU will win big because the will be better prepared to play this game.

Turn overs and a less the stellar defensive performance I fear ... but turnovers will kill us I agree in the end against PSU.

Let me start it off right now .... FIRE TRESSEL!!!!

Big Game for coach PEE WEE TRESSEL! If QB Pryor has a bad first half does Coach PEE WEE bench him? A good game by Pryor and an OSU victory and everyone is happy in Buckeye Nation. A Buckeye loss and the grumbling against coach PEE WEE TRESSEL begins. A PSU blow out, combined with a terrible performance by Pryor and now it is only time before PEE WEE TRESEEL will be kicked to the curb like Coach Bruce and Coach Cooper. Do not you just love the drama of College Football. GO GATORS!!!

Best case scenario: OSU wins 14-13 thanks to a Coleman int return for TD and a fumble recovered by the D for the other TD. I suppose Ray Small could return a kick or punt for a TD but I'm out of scoring possibilities beyond that.

I hate to say it but today begins a 3 game losing streak for the Bucks. FIRE TRESSEL!

i say don't fire tress, fire ol, qb and rb coaches and hire some qualified coaches
