If I woke up the next morning with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I would be by that result.

Just saw on ESPN app that we are now listed as a 20.5 point underdog to BG. I hope we don't get a beat down on National TV. By the way, are we still going to be on ESPN2?

I really have no idea what to expect, or which Ohio team will show up tonight, the one that played the first 6 weeks, or the one that played the last two.

1. Last year was BG's first year with their new offense, and Ohio's first with their new defense. In that game Ohio's defense did exceptionally well, with the exception of a few big plays. I expect more of the same this year; I think Ohio's defense will do well, but give up some big plays. How many? That is the mystery question. I'd guess Ohio will hold BG under their average, and I'm hoping they can hold BG to the 28-35 range, which is what Buffalo, Purdue, and Tennessee managed.
2. Ohio's offense has been a real problem lately. They have had no running game, and that finally caused the passing game to blow up as well. They have had a week and and a half to reconsider their running game, and I expect it will improve, and that, in turn, will help the passing. I think Ohio will score between 21-35 points.

I guess my pick for the game is a BG win by 35-24, but if the Bobcats play well, and get some breaks, nothing is impossible.

Go Bobcats!

I sure would too. But looking at Ohio's injuries on defense as noted in the Pappi (sic) White thread, this is the WRONG week for Ohio to be facing BG's offense. Plus BG knows the MAC's there for the taking after Toledo's loss last night. BG comfortably covers the spread, winning 56-20.

Phil Steele prediction: BG, 45-20.

The same Ohio team that we've been all season will show up tonight.

The 4th quarter hasn't started, but the above may be an incorrection.


Don't keep blaming Albin...well, at least also blame Burrow. We're happy to let any offense rip us. Any offense. Our db's don't stop anyone. No pass rush. Linebackers small so get hurt in physical games.

Sign this staff to an extension!
