  Will you please start putting polls with these threads? Take a cue from Liteinthetunnel who always started all of these threads on the other site. Always include a poll with threads like this. Something like: OSU by 7 or less, OSU by 8 or more, Illinois by 7 of less, Illinois by 8 or more. Obviously the poll choices may change based on the teams playing.
  
  I don't want to have to keep reading through the whole thread to see who people think is going to win. I just want to see the numbers.

  No one should ever take a cue from liteinthetunnel... but polls are nice.

  Ohio State needs to keep putting up points like they have been. Its amazing that our offense can score and not have to rely on 2-3 defensive scores/5 FGs a game to win this year!!

  Look for the defense to play much much better. Hopefully Chekwa can play the whole game, and his back is better. Right now the secondary is just so banged up and we just need to get through these next 2 games without anymore injuries before the trip to Madison.

  When we played Miami....we did have to rely on 5 field goals to win and our defense putting us in good field position. Yah the other 3 games our offense did what it wanted but that was against teams with a combined record of...(2-10)

  Minnesota and Purdue both disagree.

  Eh, I think Minnesota takes that title. But you are right, it won't even be close.
• Hb31187

  

  Eh I think Purdue will be better then Illinois. But you're right, I forgot about Minny

  If Marve is out for the year, Purdue is most likely the worst team

  No matter what people think, this is still a rivalry game and the Bucks will put it to the Illini.

  OSU will dominate and the game will be over before the half.

  Buckeyes roll.

  Bucks big. But hopefully not too big. Don't want to hurt any feelings on here again.
• darbypitcher22

  

  Illibuck is on the line again, and I hope the Bucks step up to hold on to him.
  
  Honestly this game never makes me feel very confident because we always seem to struggle in Champaign, but I think we get the victory.
