It's Time For Football! Your Thursday Night Game(s) Thread
For the love of Bronko Nagurski, it's time for the 2010 Big Ten Football Season to get underway!! In life, I feel there are four things that are necessary to navigate this crazy, tricky world of ours. One is Big Ten football. The other three? We'll let Warren Zevon explain:
Anyways, a quick overview of the games tonight, after the jump. And yes, that was shameless sucking up to the guys that, you know, let me write on their blog without getting the urge to sue me, just because they could.
The Big Ten kicks off the 2010 slate with three games on a Thursday night primetime special. I like the Thursday night kickoff opener, as long as it's not every team and Thursday doesn't become a regular game night for the conference. Our kickoff games are below:
|
Visiting Team |
Home Team |
Kickoff TIme (CST) |
TV Network |
SB Team Blogs |
|
Towson |
Indiana |
6:30 |
Big Ten |
|
|
Minnesota |
Middle Tennesse St |
6:30 |
ESPNU |
|
|
Marshall |
Ohio State |
6:30 |
Big Ten |
Minnesota has the toughest draw coming out of the gate, on the road at Middle Tennesee St. MTSU won 10 games and the New Orleans Bowl last year, but their starting QB Dwight Dasher has been suspended by the team and will not play. Minnesota enters 2010 at a crossroads in the Tim Brewster era. Brewster has recruited well, but doesn't have a lot of results to show for it. If Minnesota wants to make a move to the upper echelon of the conference, they need to beat a good MTSU team on the road.
Indiana was a team that wasn't as bad as their 4-8 record would indicate, and Towson should be an easy tune up to kick off the season. They are a 2-9 FCS team, and if Indiana loses this one, a lot of the feel good vibes coming out of the Big Ten this off season goes by the wayside.
No one expects Ohio State to have a problem handling an overmatched Marshall team. Of course, they said that about Navy last year. Marshall has a new coaching staff, so there's really no tape to study as Marshall has a new offensive and defensive scheme. I can see this being a challenge for Ohio State early, but they just have too many athletes for Marshall to match up with, and I think OSU pulls away in the second half. And Oh Sweet Jesus help us if OSU loses. It's too apocalyptic a thought for the team and the conference to even mention further.
Enjoy the return of the Best Football In The Best Conference!!! Your 2010 season starts NOW!!!!!

Watching BTN now
The Lee Corso knockoff seems to think Iowa is going to finally take it all this year. Everyone else says OSU. No surprise there.
I have the same fashion sense as Tom Arnold.
Iowa has a good shot
I agree when he says it’s the deepest the conference has been in awhile and three teams (OSU, WI, Iowa) have legitimate shot to win.
I would add PSU if they can figure out their QB situation early enough.

Tressel isn’t going to show a lot with Miami next week, but I am looking to see an absolutely dominant performance by the O line.
That, more than anything might foreshadow what we’re capable of. After all, it was a sluggish front five against Ohio two years ago and against Navy last year that hung us to dry against USC.

Ohio State's pass protection looks phenomenal
I’m a little surprised at how timid Marshall’s defensive front four have been. I could have ran through that hole on the Dave play, and probably could have made it around the edge as well on the sweep.

Jesus, is this running game fun to watch tonight
Hoese for the score

If I'm Ohio State, I'm not worried about Miami.
I AM worried about this kicking issue, though.

Looked like it was coming loose before he hit the ground...maybe?
"Whoever said that the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons."
That's a very questionable call.
I don’t like it. But then again, I hate Minnesota, so…yeah.

Gopher football
Looks like Ski U Mah will get a win…wow
"Whoever said that the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons."
Time of possession
Gophers have held the ball for over 40 minutes…and have a seven point lead.

Bennett is unreal...

Duane Bennett for the Heisman!!
Okay, maybe not…

Yeah, I know
And Calhoun should be in the discussion. He’s a great back.

Minnesota has almost 300 yards rushing
And are now running out the clock.
"Whoever said that the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons."
The fumble on the Kick Return was what did it.
Definitely some gaffes offensively (the WTF? Wildcat play disaster on 3rd and short and bad runs up the middle). Otherwise, the Gophers sweated for the ENTIRE second half.

Yeah, very true
but there were some nice takeaways for the Gophers. Running game is solid, Weber looks more confident running this offense, and the defense made some plays.
It was a nice win. Weren’t the GOphers 3 point dogs going into this game?

MTSU - You tried.
You didn’t make it, but you tried. Good luck this season.

Great night for the Big Ten
OSU rolls Marshall
Indiana pummels Towson
Minnesota takes care of business on the road against a bowl team. Nice effort by MTSU, though.
Good night for the good guys.
"Whoever said that the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons."
Awesome
We needed that win against MTSU.

Well guys, I'm out.
Had fun tonight. I hope we can get this thing to take off as the season progresses. I think it might be a good place to get up to date info on Big Ten games if we have enough participation.
Jonathan, you get extra credit for participating from a foreign country on your honeymoon.

I'll be here Saturday
but it’s HIGHLY unlikely I’ll be in next Saturday. I have a Wisconsin home game to attend, after all… (San Jose State @ Wisconsin, 11:00 AM CST)
