OSU @ Rutgers Line

Yep. I thought it would be 30. We match up horribly against them, way worse than against MSU.
I agree that he'll most likely start Barret against us because game film will show how we often struggle w/mobile, dual-threat QBs. He's a smart guy and if he's crazy, he's crazy like a fox. Not sure what was causing him to stick w/Jones for so long, but I'm sure he had his reasons. Maybe it'll become evident later in the season.
MSU and OSU are not in the same league talent wise. Big ten tiers:
#1: OSU
#2: MSU
#3: Iowa and Michigan
#4: Everyone else
#5: Maryland and Purdue
I think Jones gives an advantage against the better defenses. Barrett is better against weaker defenses. If a defense is slow Barrett can get to the outside and just crush a defense. But when the defense is fast and can set the edge he is nullified. You can never completely nullify Jones because he's got a big arm, can throw over a defense and he can run up the middle of a defense and run over a 250 lb linebacker. Factor in that Jones could have went to the NFL last year. Meyer owes him.
I watched them play TTFP last week. Their top 25 players are better than our best.
Let's calm down here. Our best player is a 2nd-3rd round NFL draft pick (and his stock is only improving)
Carroo isn't 2nd or 3rd rd pick. He'll go at the latest late 1st rd. He is within the top 3-4 WRs in this draft and a good combine will shoot his draft stock higher.
The problem is all of OSU's starters are like Carroo at their respective positions.
Obviously I used a bit of hyperbole but Blitz is right. They have many Carroo level players - we have one.
Ok can't argue that.
However my question is still the same
When is the last time RU didn't cover a double digit dog point spread at home?
