Looking for a good, injury-free game. Personally, I hope that tOSU doesn't have a letdown after a hard-fought game last weekend, or the Hawks could make us pay for it. And my heart wouldn't mind if it doesn't have quite so much stress as last week, either.
Here's to a good game today

Thank you, I hope it's a good game and injury free. Surprised you want a good game, though. A good game could lead to a Buckeye loss. Not that I'd be too worried about that, but the Hawks might cover the spread! I doubt it, though.
I'm really worried about a 1st quarter blowout, something like 17-0 OSU. That would suck all the joy out of playing a top opponent. I'd sure like to see the Hawks hang with them for a while.
I'm just not sure how the Hawks can stop their offense, or move the ball against their defense. That is a formula for a blowout.

Yeah, as good as Iowa's D has played most of the year, this Ohio State team is humming right now. And if the offense goes three-and-out over and over again plus turnovers? The game could be over before halftime. If they do manage to play well the first half I could see Ohio State just blasting them at the start of the third quarter. i think they'll be hungry for a huge win since they're ranked only 6th in the CFP.
OSU should roll the Hawks. But then again, ISU beating OU and Syracuse beating Clemson gives a sliver of hope.
Have you looked at our scores this year? Don't come here asking for a stress free weekend . We have only had 3 comfortable games all year. 2 in OT, last play loss to PSU, 7 point games to Minnesota and Michigan St. This whole year had been stress.
So will there be any surprise holdouts today for us? Against NW it was a complete surprise when they said Jewell wasn't playing. To me at least.
Truth be told, their pretty lucky to be ranked "only 6th", given the team right in front of them, blew their doors off a few weeks ago. Your right though, the Hawks better come out of the tunnel with their chin straps buckled up, or it will be ugly before the sun starts to fade.
