Yeah, I mean IU will be a decent offensive test. But, shit, man, they're not better than OU on offense. It'll just be another chance to compete against athletes that at least belong on the same field.
They haven't been tested with a the "phone booth fight" approach, yet. Urbs has lost 4 games at OSU. 2 of them were because they couldn't run between the tackles and a 3rd was when their offense eventually couldn't score enough to cover their bad defense (2013 B10 CG). Oh, and the 4th was Tajh Boyd and Sammie Watkins. The defense is way better now, so 2013 isn't the way, and Boyd and Watkins ain't ever played in the B10, so that's out. The way to get Urbs is still cutting off his inside power game. Wisconsin can maybe do that.
That said, the Wisky defense they torched in 2014 was really highly ranked, too. I mean like #2 in the country or something. But that's sort of my irrational life preserver of hope. It's going to be a fucking miserable slog in two weeks.
