Well the week I have been looking forward to and dreading at the same time is here.  Some of you know that I live about an hour from Columbus and I am constantly surrounded by O$U fans.  And I married a girl that is a rabid fan.  And it gets worse she is having a O$U party on Saturday night.  UGH

So here goes:

ESPNs crappy preview:  http://www.espn.com/blog/bigte...ghts-big-tens-week-7

If you listen to the O$U fans you would think that the Badgers probably should save us all the misery and just stay home.  I for one think that OSU is going to be in for a much bigger test in UW than they anticipate.  The D has been lights out and OSU has not faced a D like them and if they can contain JT Barrett (easier said than done) I think they have a chance in this one.

I am going to say it is going to be VERY close hard fought battle but O$U pulls away in the 4th quarter for a 34-24 win.

Maybe for her I married WAY above my station even if she has the issue of being a Buckeyes fan. 

So anyhow I watch all of the O$U games and I can tell you they are crazy talented but they can be beaten.  One thing they do is give up passing yards on quick hitters and slant plays and another way is to run RIGHT at them.  They are fast but small and when teams do that they can run the ball as well.

Defensively, I think UW should be able to handle them if they stop the run.  I think they passing game is streaky at best and they honestly do not have a real go to receiver.

If the weather is crappy I really like UW in this one.  There's a big mismatch with their speedy WRs v our DBs but if it's windy and rainy that should neutralize the advantage. 

By the way I'm not sure O$U is better than Michigan at this point. The Wolvs have fantastic athletes too and UW was right there until the long TD.   Plus it was a road game. 

17-13 Badgers
