What will the weather be? That can always be a great equalizer or in games where the teams are otherwise, more or less, equal (the case far too often as we know) as is the case today. I think we should have a little edge if we are playing in rain and need to just grind out a run game win, but of course that assumes our coaches will be willing to do that. If the weather is OK, then expect as many passes as runs and it will depend on how match catches and runs our receivers can make and if we have blocking for them.
The defense will need to play much more agressively as we can't continue to play " the fraidy cat" scheme through the remainder of the season as Big Ten teams will stuff the ball down our throats on a weekly basis. It will be brutal if that is the case.
