This would actually be a very good team if it had an above average offense! OU needs to get a good young OC . Change things up. Put up some points.

The offense has been bad for a long time. How bad does it have to get before the AD notices?

As it has been every year, it will come down to our lack of QB and dynamic playmakers, and offensive play calling.

We aren't doing too bad considering the disparity in the talent level. Western Michigan would probably finish in the middle of the pack of the Big Ten, let alone the Big 12 and Conference USA.

What do we have 105 total yards in the game? 60 from 1 play! This offenses pathetic. The D is keeping it close.

It boggles and blow my mind that Ohio doesn't have faster guys returning kicks. They just look so slow out there compared to WMU.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHTTTTT!
Hopefully the defense can keep up the intensity. We've got all the momentum here late in the 3rd

So appropriate that the Senior QB is turning this thing around. He's been excellent so far. All they needed was a little spark. He provided it.

Great game boys. You fought and clawed. Just didn't have enough to win.

Congrats WMU. Hope you get that Cotton Bowl $$$$ for the MAC.

Windham again came in and was so impressive. How he moved us in the last minute up until the INT was awesome. Maybe no MACC but with 3 turnovers to play WMU to a 6 point game was more than many expected. The penalty on Wood for tripping seemed questionable to me near the end of 1st half where they then got a TD. I expect Greg will be the QB in whatever bowl game we end up in. No quit in this team. We're certainly not a 'mediocre' team.

Good game fellas, I'm looking forward to the years coming. If we can get the offense on track, I see a MAC Championship in our future.

Too tired of typing tonight but the Chat Room was fun-good group of guys.

So prOUd of the team. Ashamed to say, I honestly thought we'd get blown out and we didn't, not like Toledo did last week, that's for sure!

Now, rest up Ohio and get that bowl win!!!

Ohio vs Toledo. Western without Fleck, Terrell, Davis, Henry, Thompson & Moton does not return.

That effort most years wins the MAC title.

Nothing to hang their heads about. Theybplayed a fantastic game.

Now, let's go win a bowl game.

Typical OHIO fanbase, lets congratulate a team that had every opportunity to win after they lost. When you have an opportunity to win, please close the deal. NIU in 2011 (think that was the year) and tonight they had every chance to win. Get there were many challenges tonight. Get our team played hard! Guess I just dont give a free pass on losing. Win a F_ _ _ ing MAC Title. Dont make the thousand excuses that many other MAC teams over the last 48 years have managed to overcome. Hate when we pat everyone on the back year after year for failing to meet the objective, especially when given every opportunity to meet that objective. I appreciate the effort or our guys/coaches tonight, but when given a prime opportunity to be champions, they failed yet again. Sorry if you dont like the evaluation, but this is pass/fail, and we failed.

Between Fleck's interview on the field and the one just now from the ESPN studio he seems to be not the classiest guy. Not sour grapes on my part but I didn't hear him say a single word about how tough of a game it was or even mention us. It was all about the Cotton Bowl. And although they may deserve it most coaches would at least complement the opponent. Even giving up the 70 yard TD to Davis we held them to their lowest point total since their 1st game.
