I don't know if we are going to win. I do think even if Kansas might still be one of the very worst teams in the power 5 that they are better than TxSt. I think that we beat ourselves last week. So far, other than the missed PAT, at least we are not doing that.

So we should expect 1000 yards versus 16 at the end! About as well played a quarter as one can expect.

Really happy for Greg ... this has to be great for his confidence even though he had great passing stats last week.

Are the short kickoff on purpose? Great result so far but disappointed in the KO coverage

We are playing well...nice play calling and deception...I called this game over on our 2nd TD drive when Brown broke an 11 yard run to their 3 yard line.

We'll see.



Kansas is pretty lousy.

The wind has a big role in the kickoff distance, at least in the 1st quarter for Ohio. During the second quarter, we were kicking with the wind on the run back, so that ain't it. The Kansas kicker put his first effort (with the wind) out of the back of the end zone. That had to have about 10 yards of wind "help."

I remember watching that 1967 game on TV. Bobby Douglass played QB for Kansas who had a cannon for an arm but didn't get it done that day. Went on to play pro ball for the Bears if memory serves.

I'm happy the Bobcats won today but they still have a lot to clean up, especially in the defensive backfield. Next week will be extremely tough. How good is Tennessee's run defense?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but Kansas did not earn a first down in the first half. Their only first down came from the horsecollar penalty.

A really nice win. Our guys had a lot to prove from last week, and I think Kansas maybe felt too good about themselves after beating 1AA superpower URI (;-) last week. They definitely got things together in the second half and exploited the inexperience in our DBs. Nice adjustments by Ohio after it became 31-21.

Zervos has become the pleasant surprise of the season. Nine FGs in two weeks. We really needed someone to fill Yaz's shoes, and he's doing the job.

Gotta work on finishing drives, tho. We'll need TDs, not FGs, stay with Tenn.

I was at the game, and had the pleasure of sitting with the families and friend of the players. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, being surrounded by people that not only were great fans, they were into the game, and knowledgeable about football. I saw and heard families and supporters of many of the players on the team. What a great bunch of Ohio supporters.

I'll post more thoughts tomorrow, but the stats above barely do justice to one of the most thorough beat downs I've seen in football. Kansas had two real bright spots, the kickoff return, and the first two minutes or so of the second half. Ohio had the better game plan. Ohio won the line of scrimmage. Ohio took it to Kansas on both sides of the ball. Ohio also won in special teams and turnovers, with the exception of that one kickoff return.

Also on the bright side, I didn't see many injuries. The one that might be a concern was Irons, who tried to come back out in the second half, but headed back to the locker room shortly afterwards. Dorian Brown stepped up and played a big game, but depth at RB is starting to get thin, so I hope Irons is ready for Tennessee.

Congrats, Bobcats, on a dominating win.

There definitely was one. Windham looked over at the Ohio fans, and asked for a little noise, and got it.

Note: I didn't want to imply that there weren't things that Ohio can work on. The played well at Kansas, but will have to play better than that at Tennessee.

I believe that this team will continue to improve, and that by the end of the year, it will be a very, very good team.
