Kent State, a 3-6 team that is playing without one of its best players and in front of only several hundred people, is up on WMU 14-0 near the end of the first quarter. Ohio could beat this team.

Kant’s gimmick offense with the "snap and run the QB that can’t throw out the trash" is a clown show. It’s the only thing in their favor because it’s tough to prepare for an offense that isn’t really an offense.

It’s suck’s because the ESPN guys have no idea how these type of gimmicks seem to happen every year in a conference that has some of the best games, by far compared to predictable conferences where a bottom feeder loses as expected more than not.

Tied 21-21 in the 4th quarter!!! This WMU defense is NOT a Top-25 unit. I'm really starting to like Ohio's chances more and more in the MACC. Ohio has already beaten Toledo, at Toledo, and I'm not seeing a single thing frightening about WMU.

This is a game being played in some goofy elements-on the road, with bad weather, mostly empty stadium, on a Tuesday night etc. Plus they were due for an underwhelming performance given how they have buzzsawed the competition lately.

In a warm, dry Ford Field they will be at their best.

In other news....I think I just saw MAC refs rule a Safety when it actually was one?!

Western is not invincible....have to control the LOS it looks like with them. Any given Saturday (or Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday...).

Franklin is a load in their backfield. Might see him on Sunday.

Kent played tough without #1 Safety in the MAC. I applaud their effort. I still think WMU loses to Toledo and we play Toledo in the MACC. We can control the LOS in both games.

WMU wakes up to outscore KSU 37-7 after being behind 2 touchdowns. Agreed, WMU is not invincible but they just beat Kent at Kent by almost two touchdowns more than Ohio did.

GO Bobcats and keep your eye on the prize!

ExCat, I agree with your thoughts about Toledo at Western. It will be a great game, and Toledo could pull off the upset. Toledo has the quality QB and running back to keep up on offense. My question is whether they have the defense to come up with the big stops needed to "sink the boat".

After last night WMU has FOUR turnovers on the entire season. Even in the rain they only gave the ball up once. Gonna have to force a lot of turnovers to beat this team because it doesn't look they are gonna beat themselves.

Definitely beatable, thought it will take us playing a very fine game.

The analysis certainly must center on how our units and players match
against WMU's opposite side of same. For example, WMU runs strong up the middle but the strength of our defense is up the middle.



Kudos to all who still have the MAC title game as being Miami against Toledo.
