It's now B1G conference play which means the opponents only get tougher from here on out. The next 4 weeks is like a murders row as far as scheduling goes. As of now, each team (MSU, Nebraska, Illinois & Wisconsin) is ranked in top 25. These next four weeks will make or break the 2011 season for Ohio State. It's now time to fasten the seat belt because it's about to get fast and bumpy.

Braxton Miller is NOW the man under center. He will have to improve his passing because the Buckeyes can't afford to be one dimensional and have teams stack 9 players in the box and dare OSU to throw when they feel like it. Jordan Hall is this year’s playmaker and he can take one to the house at any given time. Hall and Hyde give OSU a terrific 1-2 punch of smash and dash when needed. Devin Smith is Miller's favorite target and the two have a bright future for years to come.

MSU comes in leading the nation in total defense allowing 172.3 yards/game and pass defense with 101/game. It's really deceiving because the Spartans have played 3 cupcakes and 1 mediocre team (Notre Dame). QB Kirk Cousins is as solid as they come in the B1G. RB Le'von Bell and WR B.J Cunningham (Westerville native) are the stud players on this team that the defense will have to key on. This could be an entertaining game. With that said...

Prediction: OSU 27   MSU 24

GO BUCKS!!!
