Really rough week on the injury front for some of OSU's future opponents, especially Penn State and Michigan State.
Michigan State is down a handful of starters, including their top CB and LB, who are out for the year. They r lost their star LT Jack Conklin on Saturday (after losing their starting RT a couple weeks ago). Unknown how long the OTs will be out, but rumors are about a month.

Penn State lost a starting LB for the year a couple weeks ago and suffered a slew of injuries last week, including both top RBs and Safeties going down. Unknown severity at this time, but they are really beat up. (http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...ns-saquon-barkley-akeel-lynch-injuries-092815)
Rutgers was never much of a concern, but as a road night game, it could have been a little tricky. But they lost their stud WR to a suspension (Leonte Carroo) and their defensive captain (Darius Hamilton) recently had a season ending injury. They also had a handful of other guys (including a couple key DBs) suspended indefinitely for theft and their coach is suspended to boot. Can't see them even making it interesting at this point.
