This changes everything.

Nobody has been able to block the Gopher DE's this year on the pass rush. Now, with this lineman out I've never heard of. the Buckeyes have no chance. Expect heavy pressure under Pryor all game with just a four man Gopher rush. Cosgrove, as he has all year, will have the luxury of a top-flite pass rush on 3rd down. The Gopher secondary won't have to cover the OSU receivers for long and can jump on the short slant routes and out routes. Tressel won't be able to call any passing routes downfield because he knows Prior won't have the time to let those routes develop. The Gopher safeties can cheat up on the routes over the middle because they know they won't have to defend the deep ball. Royston will probably tie Tyler Sash for the BT lead in interceptions in this game alone. God knows Sash hasn't needed to cover a single receiver all year and now the Gopher safeties can play with his same aggressiveness. As we all know, DL play is the key to football and the Gopher DL will be more dominant than ever.

In a reversal of 2002:
MN 34
OSU 3

Just quickly looked him up, he was a 5 star recruit last year. There is a 42 page thread on this situation on Buckeye planet. I didn't look through much but the last page is devoted to his beard.

Wait a minute......

5 star recruits can come into a program like OSU and start as a freshman? I thought all 5 star recruits were overrated busts? I thought recruiting rankings never were accurate. This guy must have been the one shot-in-the-dark 5 star recruit that actually panned out.

Don't use up your full sarcasm allotment in one thread Josh. You've got to spread it out, a little here and a little there. That way they're never quite sure if you're serious or sarcastic. Outside of that:

We win easy now. Yeah baby!!

Oh, and I'm very sorry a player is injured and can't play.

Hahahahaha

Don't give it away Schoodes!!! I always wait for the one idiot who can't see through the sarcasm and thinks they're so smart they have to point out to everyone the obvious - that the Gopher pass rush is directly responsible for the 3rd down conversion percentage allowed this year.
