Welcome back to Friday Night Fights.

This is your chance to prove to yourself, or to others, that you are an expert in predicting Ohio State's football success. FNF keeps the receipts and shows everyone how good your takes were – if you are feeling particularly bold, get in the comments and defend your take.

When we last fought, Ohio State ran over Purdue Pete and the Boilermakers with a giant, steaming locomotive. Congrats to Bull1214 for my FNF Take of the Week:

Don't usually get takes that good with such few takes to pick from! Well done, Bull.

Here's how FNF works:

  • Vote in the Strawpolls for each question.
  • Comment below with how you think the game will go. Be bold, funny, correct, or a mixture of the three. 
  • Check in on Fridays to see if your take gets framed. Then we'll rinse and repeat next Friday.

Here's how you voted last week:

Question 1: Will Hudson Card have more success against Ohio State's defense than any other passer they've faced this year (207 yards)?

Ohio State's passing yards given up per game are about equal to the passing yards per game of Tayven Jackson (Indiana). Really nice.

Question 2: How many Ferentzes (1 Ferentz = 181 yards) will Ohio State rush for?

With Trey, Miyan and Chip out and with Kyle cooking like he was, I would absolutely take the 85% of a Ferentz we got.

Question 3: How many turnovers will the Ohio State defense record?

For the first time all year, nobody got this one! Red would win if you want to count missed field goals as turnovers, though.

Question 4: AAAAAA IT'S AN AWAY GAME IN WEST LAFAYETTE AAAAAAAAAH

Smooth sailing from start to finish. By the way, did you know that Purdue trailed Michigan 14-13 at the half of last year's B1G Championship Game? Just putting that out there for no reason at all.

Question 5: Elsewhere in a classic Big Ten showdown, Washington hosts Oregon in a top-10 matchup.

I'm all aboard the #Penix4Heisman train. Anything to stop Caleb from being in the same club as Archie.
