Justin: Iowa-fOSU
Daron: ohhh, bastards. Well
Justin: Yeah
Daron: Rittenberg calls it the Vandenberg vs. Silver Bullets game
Justin: There’s that whole no offense thing, on both sides
Daron: which is his cute name for the OSU defense
Justin: adorables!
Daron: yeah
Justin: Well the truth of the matter is, the offense who wins this game only needs to score maybe 10-13 points
Daron: yeah. I mean, I guess there’s a chance for some big plays
Justin: Sure
Daron: what with that being how both teams score
Justin: Pryor is the biggest big-play runner in the big 11 at this point
Daron: Yeah, I saw that. Disappointing
Justin: right?
Daron: he and Ralph Bolden
Justin: Yeah. 18 points against the Purdue defense in their loss, is uninspiring
Daron: truth. Granted, they’ve been different, since then
Justin: True
Daron: ie. Winning and less giving of possession to others
Justin: yeah, but, even with a 17 point win over PSU, just 8-17 for 125 and 2 TDs and he threw in 50 on the ground (on only 5 carries)
Daron: yeah
Justin: Meanwhile, Saine and Harron combined for 36 carries for 126 yards.
Daron: that’s really all it takes, because let’s look at what Iowa’s offense is going to do:
Very little
Justin: yes. Yeah so this game plays way to into Tressel’s wheelhouse
Daron: their ground game has slowed down some, and you figure that’ll continue against the bullets of silverness
Justin: He needs to do absolutely nothing to win this game. so, I think they succeed with it
Daron: same with a QB who looks talented, but not quite on the same page as the receivers
Justin: Sure, i.e. 62 yards and a score for Posey, but nothing else for any of the WRs. Anyway, I think this game is just about 13-7, fOSU
Daron: I could see 20-14, something like that tOSU
