Mike,

I would like a little more security than that. I too think it will be close, but hopefully something where we are playing keep away at the end, rather than finding a TO to seal it for us

OSU 20
Wisky 17

Late turnover on what would be game winning drive for Wisconsin and the Bucks seal it with field goal. Pryor struggles but plays well in the end…when it matters most. Not good on the nerves but should be a great game to watch!

OSU: 35
Wis: 24

LiC and Beanie are just too much for the Badgers. (I mean, come on, if Steven Threet can do it…please.) OSU outruns Wisky.

Kade, I like the analysis, but I have one different thought about Pryor’s performance.

Pryor: 90 yards rushing and 125 yards passing

I do like the Wells prediction as spot on, though. But, Our D will get run on, unfortunately. I think Wisconsin will rack up at least 150 on the ground and that will keep the Badgers in the game the entire time.

If Pryor makes no mistakes and some big plays then maybe it could be a 2 TD win. If he makes mistakes near his goal then we can lose. If he makes no mistakes but makes no real huge plays then we grind it out to the tune of 24-17

UW’s ability to run the ball and chew up clock will keep this game close and will be the key to the game. OSU did a very bad job agains the one team they played this year that didn’t run the spread (USC). The Badgers have no shortage of talent at tailback and no shortage of size on the Oline. JL needs to have a big game and live up to all of his hype. No more tackles 10-15 yards downfield. OSU needs him to be making these tackles 0-5 yards downfield. If that happens, it will force the Badgers to throw the ball. Something they simply can’t do all that well.

OSU also has a tendancy of making average QB’s look like Joe Montana. Please see Matt Flynn. Everage isn’t very good. Could OSU please get some pressure on him and stop playing a soft zone most of the time?

On offense OSU needs to attack on the ground, a weakness of the UW defense. Pryor seems like a big game QB. An 8pm road game agains a conference rival can only bring out the greatness in him. I would like to see OSU throw the ball down field a bit more than last week. The UW defensive strength is their pass defense but if OSU can run the ball with success, that will open up the playaction game.

Terrelle Pryor + Chris Wells means the running game will work. Sorry, UW-you arent’ stopping both guys. In fact you won’t stop either. OSU will be able to move the ball, but the key for their offense will be their ability to turn FG’s into TD’s. Something they have struggled with this year. Too many FG’s. I’m guessing the playbook will also be opened up a bit more this game. Remember last years PSU game.

OSU: 34
UW: 23

Pryor: 89 yards rushing/124 yards passing 3 total TD’s

Wells: 145 yards rushing and one or two devistating, spirit breaking runs.

I think this won’t be as close as the score indicates, but it will be a grinding game on both sides (and probably a boring game for impartial outsiders). UW gets a late field goal to make it a 1 score game.

OSU – 17
UW – 10

OSU 28 – Wisky 24
Wisky forces Pryor to make a couple “freshman” mistakes, Todd spells him and then the Buckeyes get back on track and come back to win this game.
