100% agree with all this. I wondered if the off field mess with Myer was getting to him.

More so his health with the cyst on his brain. Any sort of very high stress level would cause him debilitating headaches. They had someone follow him along the sideline to monitor his status. 

Also, I think he just got stuck in his ways on running that zone read. J.T. Barrett was really really good at it, but not being diverse in an offense will cause you to lose games.

Definitely Wisc. and PSU will be the best tests for OSU. 

Come on, Matt, they still have to play Rutgers.

I almost typed that without laughing out loud 🤣

Northwestern is mighty compared to Rutgers.

Rutgers has been shut out three times this year. They had one yard passing last Saturday against Indiana.

Yeah and what irritates me is that Florida beat their cupcake 38-0 and dropped a spot....Wisconsin squeaks by NW ( total cupcake...24-15) and moves up a spot. Wisconsin will get a good thrashing from OSU.

@DeadMan, The thing that makes me feel like Jim might not be there much longer is that he seems lifeless in his interviews. I just don't get a good vibe when I hear him have to answer questions about the team. 

Well, he's not going to get fired, so unless the NFL hires him away, he's going to stay here for a while longer. I don't pay a ton of attention to Harbaugh's press conferences, but I'd imagine he's probably experiencing the same malaise that the whole program is facing right now. He's made changes and it hasn't worked. That must be frustrating.

I'm positive that Harbaugh isn't going anywhere before the season ends. After that, who knows.

Whether it has looked likely or not, there's still time for TTUN to do some big things this year. But, I would think losing to the Buckeyes for the fifth time in a row and not playing in the league championship may stick a fork in him.

 Even before the OSU game, stuff might get real ugly in Ann Arbor if TTUN doesn't beat Sparty.

Wisconsin doing a great job of removing any doubt as to how they’ll perform against Ohio State. Illinois? No, no...don’t wanna hear how they’re a strong team. They’re not. Period. Wisconsin’s charade is showing. OSU gonna eviscerate them.

[Vinsk]

Lol!! Wow! And that my friends are why numbers don’t really matter. Ya gotta look at what’s really happening out there. Wisconsin ( powerhouse of Big10) just lost to an unranked, losing record team. Wow! Buh bye Wisconsin...and the value of OSU destroying them next week just plummeted.

[saevel25]

Down goes Wisconsin! What a victory for Illinois! 

Two big turn overs in the final 5 minutes of the game. Just not executing at a high level under pressure. 

I was concerned with Wisconsin being that they control the clock so much. Is their offense protecting their defense. Illinois ran for 4.0 yards per play and passed for 8.3 yards per attempt.

What a great finish too! Yeah...that last turnover was devastating for Wisconsin. Puts such a different vibe for next week though. OSU will know they have to win big. Wisconsin will still be in shock. Damn..what a game! Illinois defense looked really good in spurts.

@saevel25 Georgia/Kentucky tied 0-0 at half? Wtf? Don’t see that often in NCAA Football. Poor Georgia....crumbling.....

Lol...yeah pretty rough. You see Michigan just botch that easy catch to tie!! What a great weekend! PSU gonna squeak by...I dunno...not a great weekend for Big10 either. Flop for Wisconsin...Michigan flunked once again and PSU looked awful on the 4th quarter. OU and OhioSt fine ( Friday)..but everyone else struggled today.

[saevel25]

Just to show you winning is tough. It’s hard to play a top level week in and week out. 

[saevel25]

Well that was a dominant win in horrible weather. Wisconsin couldn’t do anything at all on offense. I was a bit concerned with their O-Line, but they didn’t show up at all.
