My notes:
-How often do we open against a B1G opponent? It feels wrong to me but I know we've done it before 2020.
-The early test against Oregon should tell us a lot about the kind of expectations we should have from Stroud (or Miller) come postseason, though we can expect a brand new QB to evolve over the course of the season.
-Indiana has some residual hype from last season, I wonder if they can keep improving or if they'll dip at all this year.
-Love getting Penn State for the Halloween game, wouldn't mind making that a regular scheduling.
-They better circle Nov. 13th for obvious reasons.
-Can't wait to finally play Michigan again.
-If we manage to win the conference again, it'd be 5 in a row, which would be the best run since OSU's 6 straight titles from 1972-1977. We're not far behind UM (42) in total titles (39*) and already way ahead in outright titles (24 to 16).
