They are not running Howard 15-20 times. His running is a secondary weapon. They want to test our secondary with their 2 top 10 pick NFL WRs and run their two stud RBs. We have to take advantage of their weakened O-Line to not give Howard time to find Egbuka and Smith running open. Because they will be open. Need Durant, Ford to clog running lanes.

Yes I agree. The expanded playoff sustains interest throughout the whole season. If it was a 4 team playoff still, then if we lost on Saturday that would be it. No possibility of making the playoff or being in the hunt for a NC.

In the past, OSU/PSU would be an enormous game ... the loser of which would basically lose all interest in anything meaningful thereafter, for the rest of the regular season
.
Currently, OSU/PSU is a huge game ... the loser of which still has substantial interest, and everything is still meaningful thereafter for the rest of the regular season.

And, in all likelihood, both these squads end up still having an enormous game (or two, or three, or four) AFTER the regular season is over.

Net gain in magnitude throughout the season.

It's so much better with an expanded playoff. So much.

He has 91 yards rushing in 7 games. So 13 per game.

If they run Howard 15-20 times by design and avoid having him in the pocket because they can't protect I like our odds

I believe he ran quite a bit for Kansas State.

I've called for PSU to make the playoffs from day 1, just not a win over OSU. That team has a much bigger payroll and history isn't on our side.

I understand that OSU has some OL issues and they looked weak vs Nebraska so I give PSU a 30% chance to win.

The betting line suggests OSU will win something like 24-21.

OSU is only giving up 12 pts per game so far this year and the only time we've scored more than 34 pts is vs Kent State.

I'm concerned about being without Allar & Sutton but I do think we have chance at home. IMO a PSU win would look more like 24-20.

Maybe it should but if they deem Drew able to go he'll play. There's no way they're going to say he's good but the RT is out so we're sitting him.

Yeah I agree, they are not doing that. If Drew can go then it doesn't matter if I'm the LT, LOL.
