Fuente was fired this week so he left town already

Oh damn! I thought he was going to coach out the season. Oh well, someone else will be outwitting Manure then.

@GKJ If you want to earn enough $$$$ to be able to help the Patriots pay for future GOAT Mac Jones' next contract then go with The Bear on these standout matchups:

Oregon + 3 vs Utah
South Alabama + 28 vs Tennessee
Colorado + 6.5 vs Washington

I guess it’s good someone believes in Oregon.

I guess I can’t assume anything with PSU anymore, but I mean, it is Rutgers… at home… just win.

Otherwise I’m looking forward to some QB play later today. I hope Brennan Armstrong is healthy so he can torch Pitt and then Virginia can play for the ACC championship assuming they beat VT too the following week. Also, I’m going to really sit down and watch Matt Corral tonight light up Vandy. He’s my top QB in this class by far. Lane Kiffin was interviewed right after he rolled into Tennessee to a chorus of boos and insults and asked what he keeps him calm/confident in this one. He just smiled and said “Matt Corral”.

Yeah I don’t get how Corral isn’t the top QB ahead of the draft. Like, Kenny Pickett? what?

I always forget we have an NCAA section on this website. As an MSU guy, fingers crossed we hang in there and it’s not a drubbing. Not even sure what the game plan will be I can only assume it’s ball control and aggressive D in hopes we don’t get burned. Because if we aren’t aggressive we’re probably going to get burned either way.

 

[GKJ]

Also why is Ohio state/Michigan state on ABC at noon? Can’t figure that out. Fox took the Oklahoma game for some reason.

Corral faces much tougher competition. Thing with Pickett - he’s surprisingly had a really good year, even mostly playing garbage teams. But he’s an accident waiting to happen. Threw terrible picks that cost them the game against Miami and another that almost cost them against UNC after doing nothing the entire second half, he fumbles a lot and has small hands. His ceiling may be 2nd or 3rd stringer in the NFL… maybe.

Michigan State has great history as underdogs at Ohio State

Since 2011, no team in the Big Ten has beaten OSU more than MSU’s three victories. And five of the Spartans’ victories have come with the Buckeyes ranked in the top five of the Associated Press rankings — including in 1998, when an unranked MSU under Nick Saban, with Mel Tucker as a graduate assistant, ended OSU’s national championship hopes.

That’s kind of how I see it, someone who is like a Matt Barkley who will kick around the league and make a career out of knowing playbooks.

Corso's Headgear Selection......from Columbus OH.....where ESPN & Buckeye legend Kirk Herbstreit honed his skillz!

Factoid: As we all know, Brutus was Lee's very 1st headgear donned.

Sign of the Day:
C

Celebrity Picker - Columbus pop/rock band 21Pilots, who are going with the home team

Lee: Reminds us Brutus was his 1st love....always stick with your 1st love as he again dons Brutus!

Line is 19 with over/under of 69. Vegas thinking blowout here so I hope not.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Oof. It’s a long game but OSU definitely looks pumped and ready to go. This is going to be tough.

 

[GKJ]

Rutgers may win

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

That’s a cop-out call from the refs in the MSU-OSU game.

Good thing Mel Tucker got that extension this week

 

[John Price]

Wasn't MSU supposed to play D?

 

[John Price]

it's all fun and games now but next week could get ugly

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Michigan State’s extremely mediocre secondary was always a bad matchup against Ohio State’s wide receiver core.

 

[member 51464]

So if Michigan wins today and the winner of them and Ohio State goes to the Big 10 Championship/has an inside track to the playoff, right?

 

[John Price]

This is way too hilarious to see "Fraud" MSU get exposed again so badly like this

and yes I'm fully aware OSU is likely to do the same thing to Michigan next week.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Im good with it. Tucker in every interview says he knows the secondary is extremely weak so he’s not delusional. I’ve really liked what he has done overall in two years with recruiting and transfers. Definitely bringing a passion back that faded with the end of Dantonio.
