Worried about BG passing all over us - they have two solid WRs in Redding and Miller. If we aren't able to rush and pick up a couple sacks Morgan right away I fear that our secondary might struggle. We'll need some guys to step up with Robbins suspended for the first half due to targeting and a few other key guys dinged up.

I know I say it every week but since this defense usually does a solid job shutting down the running game due to solid DTs and good tackling LBs, we need to consistently rush the QB to help out our secondary

In addition to LuckySparrow's points, I'm mostly worried about our offensive line. Our depth is being tested more than anyone hoped it seems and last weeks running game and pass protection efforts give me pause. This game really worries me and frankly, other than consecutive shutouts in the 90s against BG, we've never played well against these guys even when it seems we are by far the better team. Those of you predicting blowouts by Ohio... I wish I was that confident, but there's simply no history to go on here favoring such an outcome.

I think we squeak this one out, but only if we lead the whole way. I don't like any situation where we have to come back because we just aren't coming up with the late stops.

27-24 Ohio in a nip/tuck affair.

We just need to keep running the ball because BG cant tackle. Stop throwing it across the middle because their LB and DBs are pretty quick side to side in their zone. Even with the turnovers Im pretty pumped at how this group responds on turnovers. We turn the ball over. Our defense holds BG to field goals. Then we go on a drive. Michael Farkas needs to get some recognition. He really flips field position in our favor at times. Hagan is saving us on long run TDs. We need to pinch our defense line and run some nickel blitz and change it up. Cheers to a good second half!!

Ugly early, but luckily college football games last 4 hours. We were pretty good in hours 3 and 4.

That TD drive to end the first half I thought was key to setting the tone for the remainder of the game. Penalties in the 3rd quarter kept us from breaking it open. Should have been a 25 point win.

He was missed. Russ and Rob mentioned it several times and it was true -- the receivers couldn't get separation in the first half. Rourke was pressing but he didn't really have a lot of good options.
