How is our health going into tomorrow? I saw TLL on the depth chart so I'm assuming he will in fact play. Any others we should be concerned about?

Big Ron Brown is starting for the first time on the OL.

He is starting in place of Ruka right?

I see Albert Smalls is listed at starting CB. Has he always been? I thought Brooks started the first two games..

Brooks will play too, it's an "or". Though Brooks was the one we all caught as being pissed off during the UNLV celebration, I haven't focused on him but maybe he had a bad game and was possibly passed by Smalls.

All else being equal, I like Smalls height versus OSU. Just hope I'm not yelling at the tv "you're killing me Smalls"

On FanDuel, Smalls is listed as a WR option. I don't think he's a good play this week.

I hope our DBs look for the ball this week. Had they done that vs Murrey, most of those looping passes would have been knocked away or picked. I also hope we ahve some mis directional goal line plays drawn up. We have to score TDs when we have a scoring chance.

Yep. It's where Big Ron played the majority of the second half last week. Ruka probably won't play this week.

They seem to only look for balls thrown to our sideline when our bench is yelling "ball, ball!" Otherwise, the DBs have their back turned to the play and/or get PI called on them.

I am feeling great, but I am still limping from plantar fasciitis.

Day to day?

Nothing I want to think about. I'll try hard not to, but for the moment:
Our, um....2nd string QB. Let's just pray that Drew never goes down, not for a moment. But, we are facing a very large and physical team...and not only do QB's get hurt....they can use a breath. Someone like Maddie can run a down or two (this is a side point). If we are left with a hobbling QB...forget Maddie (that's a large enough issue), but our freshman...I am certain we will grow to love him, but thinking of him taking snaps anywhere, let alone at OSU. Beyond frightening.
Well, so....How is Maddie... still banged up?
Let's hope we don't find out.

As are the rest of us. Day to day.

as much as i did not think Maddie was very good last year, i heard he had a pretty good fall and I certainly would want him in there vs Graham or a frosh.
