OSU Don’t expect the unexpected

The last time I was this sure the Cats had no chance to win an upcoming game was ND in 1995.

It would take an incredible set of weird bounces, bad calls and the best performance of the year by NU on both sides of the ball for it to even be close.
All that being said, I kind of hope the coaching staff used the bye week to install a gadget play that springs a big gain. For example, I would love (with Kirtz unavailable) to install a sequence where Wright lines up as a wideout and runs jet sweep motion with 3 options: straight jet sweep that catches the chaser not realizing how fast he is in motion, or pull up and pass not realizing he is a QB, or a reverse back to Henning or Himon if they overplay the motion.

One can dream.

The last time I was, this short of a loss was, well, almost all our non B1G championship games against OSU. We could hang with them for a while if we have zero procedural penalties, zero cheap turnovers, zero injuries, a defensive TD and a special teams TD or + turnover. All those things.

A good defense can keep things close- doesn’t mean they win. But hopefully a good game.
