Mr. 129/130!
** 2020 Opponent Previews : Ohio State (Game 1) **
- Thread starter Saunders
- Start date
I'll go with ccoach speak over some dumb ranking based on random stats - actually would prefer to go over current results but we are a few weeks away from that.

47 - 24 does not sound like any type of victory for NU...which is the score as an actual final prediction.

Last year we were way over matched regardless but we benefit from the loss of Barry, A Davis, and Jackson IMO. Barry had cement feet and always out of position. Wandale had to play RB duties because of banged up RBs last year vs Ohio St. AM got happy feet and some questionable throws but the O line didn't help a lot. We could have made it 14-7 but he lobbed it over Wandale and they got a tipped INT down at their 5 yard line. After that the sails that were left - were gone. He lobbed one too far the next possession as well for INT. Sermon and Teague will still run well on us but losing Dobbins is a big loss. Chase Young and Okudah were incredible as well. LB play was atrocious this game and the zone read killed us.
Time to step up. I don't expect to win this game at all but you cannot get embarrassed. Martinez will be a 3rd year starter, Mills is a solid SR RB, whole o-line returns, Stoll returns with the addition of Voke. Wandale and Warner will need to play well.
Defense needs to make some plays. We really need Tannor and Domann to be what they can be. Athletic enough to run down Fields. If we are going to go with the experience in Honas and Miller they HAVE to play well. Would rather see Reimer and Henrich but hope to be proven wrong. We get D Williams back which is massive for that secondary. Hopefully Dismuke doesn't get lost and Bootle thrown over.
I think our best option is to hammer it home with AM and Mills running the ball. Mix in some short throws to TE and WRs. I hope we don't try and boat race them again.
