Today a "Must Win" for OSU?

[Orestes]

According to Bill Greene at OSU's Scout sight it is. He is friends with many of the OSU players and coaches. Here are his thoughts about today and the season.

I think it is.......... And I think OSU is going to win.


There are a lot of negatives associated with this team and they're hard to ignore. Most of the problems center around an underachieving offense. And the criticism is valid, for the most part.


When you see players voicing their displeasure to the media, it usually is the beginning of a run by the team................. either a winning streak or a losing streak.


If Ohio State loses today, and I DO NOT expect that, look for the beginning of a team that is in the process of cracking.


But if Ohio State wins today, ugly or pretty, look for this ship to be pointed back in the right direction, and a huge effort against Penn State should be coming up.


For the first time in his career Jim Tressel is being questioned by his players. Teammates are now calling out each other. We've never seen this in the Tressel Era. I love Todd Boeckman, but I hope he doesn't take a snap. The 2-headed QB won't work for this team. Barring injury, or a totally inept performance, Pryor has to stay as the QB.


I really feel today is as near a "must-win" as OSU will have this year, and I'm the guy who never uses that term. I feel a win today ends the BS that is surrounding the program. I feel a win today sets this team up for a big performance against Penn State. This team needs a good win very badly. I believe in the quality of these coaches and these kids. That's why I'm feeling a victory today. This game should serve as a "rally-the-troops" type of game if they can win it. Ohio State is the more talented team, and they are under fire. That should produce a win.


But a bad loss today and we will see this season spiral downhill very quickly.

Every game is a must win game for Ohio State.

Every game is a must win game for Ohio State.

My thoughts exactly. If they expect to win the Big Ten and hope to get in a BCS Bowl game they have to win out.
