[NU Sports] Minnesota, Ohio St.

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

A late comment on the Minnesota game; as I've been out of town  for a few 
days. Many of us have been somewhat critical of McCall's play  selection, 
especially running Conteh on sweeps, which typically results in a 1/2  yard loss. 
(see what I mean?:)  However, utilizing Kafka like he did vs.  Minny was pure 
genius.  If life gives you lemons, make lemon-aide.
   OSU: I just read a preview on the game on SI.com; I didn't  know that OSU 
ranks in the middle of the conference in every offensive  category, but I 
guess that makes sense as they've taken a snooze offensively vs.  PSU, USC, and 
more importantly against re-treads such as Ohio and Purdue.   They also drilled 
Sparty; seems to me the key is to "hang around" on  Saturday.  I believe that 
if we're close in the 4th Q., we'll take 'em  down.  No 0-21 1st Q. hole as 
we've done the past 2 years.  
  No prediction this week; I was wrong last week as I predicted a  21-34 
set-back. I think we'll be close, but as Sparty found out, things  could get ugly, 
and fast.
 
   GO  CATS!!!           Eric
