The Game - osu @ M, 11/28/15, Noon, ABC National.

[Pasadena Blue]

he landed on the elbow and was grabbing his shoulder ... worry is a separated shoulder.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Opening betting odds had osu at -2.5 and within an hour that had dropped to -1.5.

Landing on your elbow is a good way to break your clavicle.

[WM Wolverine]

Coin flip I'm sure.

Three hours later, the line flipped, with the Wolverines (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) favored by three over Ohio State (10-1, 6-1), coming off a snapped 23-game winning streak.

The sharps will jumping on that 3 by the end of the week.

[Tslisher]

No, he left the game twice. Once when falling on the ball and later in the game when he tried to make a catch and went down on his elbow in the process. He left the field holding that arm. It was either a blow to the elbow (which I'm betting on) or a shoulder injury.

But, I hope you're right that he is fine. He is HUGE part of the offense.

I haven't checked the video myself, but on Mgoblog it was metioned that Chesson was in on the kickoff after the last touchdown. That would be AFTER the elbow/shoulder injury. I doubt they would have let him back in the game with anything serious at all. I think Chesson is going to be fine.

Wonder if the possibility of Mone returning was brought up at the presser?

[klondike]

The first time I saw Chesson falling on his elbow, I thought damn, he coulda broke something. All of his weight went down on it awkwardly. It would be a miracle to have him alright by time of the Big Game.

From Adams Schepp's print copy of the post game presser at mgoblog, no. There has been nothing mentioned about this, as far as I know, since the last Monday Presser where the question was asked and JH responded, "it's possible."

Frankly, I think DJD fixed the problems we saw v. IU with the caveat that the PSU OL is not even close to the experience and skill/talent of IUs.

Steve Sharick had a good piece about what he thought needed to be done to shore up the run D v. PSU (namely Barkley). That Barkley had less than 1 yard per carry after his 56 yard romp speaks volumes to Durkin's capacity to see problems and fix them.

osu runs a read option variation when jtb is in there and it has been effective at times but also inconsistent because the OL play is also inconsistent. With Cardale Jones it's more power, IZ, OZ offense. The thing about osu's O right now is that it seems to have no identity and no clear QB leader. That has it's pluses and minuses. There's no telling what meyer is going to come up with Saturday. But it's clear to me that the players in the osu offense, much like Al Borge's offense, seem confused a lot and that results in ineffectiveness.

[lineygoblue]

I still think osu's best QB is trying to play receiver right now.

[Ghengis Jon]

Thats going to be a key in the game, stopping Braxton. Count on him throwing at least once from his receiver position. Probably twice. Gotta keep him bottled up.

[lineygoblue]

I think there may be at least a handful of times when B Miller will either line up in the wildcat position, or throw on a reverse type move. Got to cover every player that comes off the line.

yup

[Rocky Bleier]

Do you mean to say that this week Urban might actually try to win the game instead of waiting to get beaten?
