He is their #3 receiver and his numbers would put him right behind Maxx on our squad as the leading receiver. Have a feeling this will be a good test for our secondary as OSU has some guys that can really stretch a defense and a QB that can move around and extend plays giving guys time to get open.

We're going to be asking a lot of Eric Murray this weekend. He's going to be soloed up w/ some very good WRs this weekend I'm guessing and his success would go a long long way to us having a chance to win the game.

After watching the Michigan St game, I'm worried about Ohio State's ability to get their receivers behind our secondary. Our Safeties like to stay close to the line of scrimmage to support the run defense which means exactly what you said. Eric Murray and BBC will be on islands. And while they are fast guys, so was Michigan's states secondary and they kept getting burned. This is where awful weather could help us the most.

EM and BBC spend most of most games on islands. Our safeties do more run support than any team I have seen us play. They both have been good enough to do it against opponents up to now. It will be interesting to see if that changes this week as I don't see us getting much of a pass rush and so they may need more safety help. That of course will open up the run lanes more. Tracey has his work cut out for him.

Of course I didn't believe we'd get good line play against Iowa either. Talent wise, the OSU OLine should shut our true freshmen DLine down. As they should beat us passing. I think our LBs are good enough to slow down their running game for the most part (QB might kill us). I just hope it is cold as hell and our players want it more. Anything can happen then.
