Sounds like the offense is clicking, so much so, that they got to end practice 30 mintues early.
Bowman is full speed and catching everything thrown to him.
I think a huge factor in this game will be special teams and field position. William Cole has been getting some work on punt returns, that might be interesting.
I have to say, defense will, again, like I've said all year, be the the difference between a W and L.
Jacob Lacey snagged 3 picks in practice today, but I think with IU you gotta worry about their QB Kellen Lewis. He can make plays, but, funny to say, he looks a bit heady in the pocket like Reid did.
Our run game will play a huge part in this game. Gundy said it right when he said they're in the right spots on defense, but their undersized and don't make plays. Illinois ran all over them, allday. We'll see how the defense contains Lewis. He'll put alot of pressure on that front seven.
Number 82 will get some catches, but we cannot let him get deep. I imagine Jacob Lacey will draw him with likely help from Price on a good number of plays.
I think our offense is too much for them to handle and the defense plays inspired ball, culminating for an OSU victory.
OSU 38
IU 27
