We've posted a Q&A with Talking Head, about the state of the team, and thoughts about tonight's match and the match Saturday evening against Maryland. Here's the link.
Here's an excerpt:

I'm more worried about Maryland than OSU, I think. As with every weekend in the B1G, there's plenty of stress--and that's just for the fans. I'm glad BTN2GO, or whatever it's called, will be carrying the games. I can imagine the team playing well--with their flexible offense hitting on all five, seven, or nine or how ever many cylinders. Definitely would love a sweep this evening--something to drive rampage around the bend.

I had thought UMD would be a real force this year, especially after 1) their beat-down of USC and 2) their highly regarded last 2 classes, including last year's unnoticed Gia Milana. She seems to be their Courtney. However, they've only won 4 sets and 1 match so far in BIG, and were swept by OSU which is playing very unevenly. In the USC match, i thought their freshmen were really productive and confident. Haven't seen that since. It seemed like their sweep by Washington somehow deflated them.
I think with both teams PSU has to expect anything; both have the capacity to make for a difficult night for us, but they aren't trending that way so far.

I see us winning both matches this weekend in 3 or 4 sets. I think the scores may be close but neither Maryland or Ohio State has dominate hitters like we do. The schedule gets much tougher in the weeks to follow. I hope Tori Gorrell continues her attacking style to open up the opponent blocks.

Maryland very sloppy against Rutgers tonight. Took game 1 25-17 with 8 attack errors, and was down 15-12 in game 2 with 7 attack errors. They'll win, and probably reflects they spent zero time prepping for Rutgers.
