Although it was nice to see OSU have three 100+ rushers in Dan"Boom"Herron, Carlos"Raw"Hyde and Braxton Miller, the passing game and play by the defense almost cost the Buckeyes a shot of staying in the Leaders race. OSU played very flat against a Hoosier squad that had nothing to lose. The Buckeyes' D couldn't handle the spread attack of Tre Roberson and Co. It took a Travis Howard pick in the final quarter to stop the bleeding.

West Lafayette has never been an easy place to play. I remember in 1984 when Mike Tomczak threw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock...ON FOURTH DOWN!!!, 2000 losing to Drew Brees, 2002 Holy Buckeye, 2004 Troy Smith's turnover fiasco and 2009 Terrelle Pryor's 4 turnover delight. PU is 4-5 and defeating OSU would boost their confidence and keep their slim postseason hopes intact. Not so fast my friend!!! With that said...

Prediction: OSU 27  PU 10

GO BUCKS!!!
