The next week or two is going to be very interesting inside the fence at Prothro Fields and offices at Valley Football Center. Will OSU players continue to buy what the coaches are teaching and selling, or do they slowly start to look forward to season’s end?

Five games remain, and all appear difficult, as the collective record of the opposition is 24-11.
