Welcome to the eighth installment of Friday Night Fights, 2018.
This series is your opportunity to prove how clairvoyant you are regarding Ohio State's upcoming football fortunes. It also gauges how good or bad your #takes are, should you choose to defend them in the comments.
Purdue, the Big Ten's worst campus (the only remaining undignified title Rutgers has yet to claim) is Ohio State's stage tomorrow evening. West Lafayette is a town that requires artificial lighting and photoshop to look almost mediocre.
Here, just watch this video from its tourism bureau:
Let's check the results from last week's Fights and the best #takes from the week:
The Gophers are still a work-in-progress. To only score 14 points the way Ohio State's defense was playing requires mediocrity.
The slant was there all afternoon, and while it felt like the world was ending the Gophers only ended up with 218 yards through the air.
Buckeyes went over 500 yards again, but barely got a touchdown above the Gophers' average.
Maybe the Buckeyes could have some sort of a rushing threat with a situational, mobile QB package? Perhaps we'll never know.
Michigan rounded into form while Wisconsin looked slow, sluggish and generally unthreatening.
Let's check some of the choice #takes:
Piles up was a stretch, but the defense did pitch a 2nd half shutout.
No TD passes allowed, only 218 passing yards surrendered (all of them on slants?) the stat sheet says yes.
Minnesota had its moments, Michigan covered and the B1G East is almost as rough as the B1G West as of mid-October.
Onto this week's Fights:
