Sometimes, young teams....

have growth spurt games.... sometimes they don't

Which is it this weekend?

Time will tell..... not prognosticators, not fans, not gurus, not vegas, nor journalists.....
... but the playing of the game. Bring it on.

Agree. OSU has 2 true senior starting WR. We have how many that play substantial time?

You know what I like about this team? I don't think they give 2 s****s what everyone else thinks.

I guess we shall see. Part of me has hope that they feel disrespected that they are given virtually no chance...

I agree. I think our best (only?) hope is that a goodly number of our kids just "get it" all at once on Saturday. Yes, I realize the odds of that happening for a bunch of players all at the same time are rather small. But we have athletically gifted players. We're not Maryland and Rutgers who, short of OSU forfeiting, had no chance of winning. We need the light to go off for Shorter and for the secondary as a unit and the OL as a unit. We need YGM to play at a first round draft pick level. We need Clifford to play within himself but play better than he has yet this year. Again, not betting the mortgage that all of those things will happen against a really good OSU team. But I do believe at some point we'll look back at a game with this group of players and say "that's when it all came together." Here's hoping that is Saturday.

I don't believe it's a stretch to say that, based on their reaction to the unfortunate social media events this year, they do care very much what other people think. They've gone out of their way to make it public.

I believe YGM is probably limited by some type of injury and has been since the end of the out of conference schedule.

I suspect there's going to be a spurt, just not sure what kind!

That's not what he meant.

If only the games were played through social media.
