They were 110th in pass defense last season. They lost 3 of their 4 DE's on the two deep, as well as 2 of their 4 CB's
Offensively, they lost 4 Sr starters on the OL- and 6 of their 10 on the 2-deep this year are Freshmen and Soph's...

Autry and Preston smith come on down. If they can't beat a reworked Osu ol, it might be another year with qb's having all day against us. I'd blitz the crap out of them tooQuote:

How many promising upperclass QBs have we ruined over the years due to this very problem?
Kevin Fant is and always will be the poster boy for what could have been had he gotten any protectionQuote:

They also have a new DC and OC. Will probably still be some rust.
I would be happy for OSU to be this year's TN. Heck, TN still was absolutely one of our best wins last year.Quote:

..the CBS bowl predictions made me feel good about OSU:
CBS bowl prediction for OSU:
******
Buffalo Wild Wings
Dec. 28 Tempe, Ariz.
Big 12 vs. Big Ten
Oklahoma State vs. Northwestern
*****
I didn't know there was such a thing as a Buffalo Wild Wings bowl.
If OSU is headed for a Buffalo Wild Wings-type season, then we definitely will match up with them in Dallas.
I'm with Goat, this actually made me feel a shit ton better about that game. Last year has left a bad taste in my mouth about our effort. I feel like we will be much improved, but it's kind of one of those things that I'm going to need to see before I take the bait again.
At the same time, I'm not one of those delusional fools that doesn't think 8-5 was a good year. I was happy with the record, but not with the effort and give a damn the team showed. Any disappointment in the Mullen era is a completely different type of disappointment in my opinion, than the shitastic disappointment of the Crxxms era. Never thought I would be frustrated or disappointed in the effort of a 8-5 MSU squad in my lifetime, but that is a testament to what Mullen has done so far in his tenure.
