    True of False?...If Gray leads the Gs on drives...

    to points in the 1H vs MSU...against their first string...that implies a winning season next year for the Gs (assuming Gray injury-free of course). Also, if he's a major factor in producing points early vs Sparty, does that mean MG should get most of the snaps for the rest of the season?

    "Behind the Schemes" Thursday night: Q: Who in the BT makes the best half-time adjustments? A by Mase: (to my recollection) Iowa. They are the best, but I have to say that this half-time adjustment stuff is way overplayed... Surprisingly, Glen did not follow-up that comment by discussing his...

    Your 3 things the offense MUST do @tOSU...

    My dicey take: > work Deck/Green/Stod/J-T-A etc short; > 4 downs inside the tOSU 40 (roll the dice); > let Weber run. Three only please...Keep it simple for Brew/JF/TD/Weber&Co!

    Inability of D to get off the field on 3rd down...

    is it mismatched personnel, poor coaching, poor schemes and/or lack of execution? Not knowing, perhaps someone else here does.

    On Deck: Have BT opponents finally figured out a way to

    shutdown Decker's point production based on the past few games and are Brew/JF smart enough to make counter adjustments? Any GHers smart enough and/or presumptuous enough to suggest how the G braintrust should proceed with on-field strategy/execution?

    How is this class shaping-up talent-wise relative to: (1) verbal commits during the Mason regime at this time of the season, and (2) Brew's verbal commits for his class last year? Thanks much.

    From Joe Pa's 10/13/09 press conference re Minny..."Minnesota gives

    you a lot of problems." Joe Pa is working hard to get his troops ready, but are they listening? He knows that the prevailing attitude has generally been: "Minnesota?...No problem!" http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/101309aaj.html Q. From your point of view, is it harder to...

    Purdue...Is this a must W for bowl hopes?

    IMHO yes...if they lose this one at home, they setup for a meltdown at on-the-road biggies PSU, tOSU and beyond as their confidence takes a big hit despite all the BT-leading experience on this team. Fans and students will be pumped for homecoming, thus the 12th-man effect a huge positive...

    Here's an area where my Eastern GH needs some enlightening... Adam is a qb with average...or more... running ability as he has demonstrated in previous campaigns, but granted, Brew/JF don't want to get him hurt because he's the core of the Gs point production. So... > If the opponent is not...
