A Ball state fan checking out Ohio. Let me say that Ohio has the QB that BSU has had fits stopping ever since Lembo arrived in that he can run and they have yet to stop a running QB. Lembo is getting a lot of grief over the past two seasons and luckily for him BSU can not afford to buy him out. While BSU will score the bigger problem for us will be holding Ohio under 40. The QB is a freshman not a redshirt and while 6'5" likes to run but has been fumbling recently in doing so. The line was supposed to be dominating on offense but has not been so against MAC west opponents. If they can control the line it will be a very high scoring game. BSU has good big receivers the key is if Neal gets time to throw. If we win it will be our biggest win in 2 years as I discount beating BG in last year's final when they had nothing to play for.
No worry, my friend. Ohio is NOT scoring 40. I repeat...NOT scoring 40
Hmmmm....
Oh. No need to remind me. I'll happily eat my words.

I totally underestimated how atrocious Ball State's defense was.

But we did run ball effectively, which was nice to see. And I'll say that was best game I've ever seen Sprague play. Didn't think he had it in him.

Defense banged up and it showed.

Bottom line, they did what they needed and should have done. 7 wins and guaranteed bowl. Nice work.

Now huge test at NIU next week. Great litmus test for this program
Got it. Ohio scores well because Ball is "atrocious." Ball scores well and it is because Ohio's D is "banged up." One might allow some credit to the offenses. JMHO

Edit. Solich just said, "we are a banged up football team."

Get a grip. Even the most delusional Bobcat fan wouldn't have expected them to score 48 when they've only averaged 21.6 in MAC play.

Anyone that watched that game could see Ball State defense was terrible.

Doesn't mean Ohio didn't do some good things on offense....I acknowledged as much earlier.

But yes, when half of Ohio's starting defense is out and they allow 31 pts to team that hasn't broken 21 since Oct. 10.....I think it's fair assessment to say Ohio's injuries played a role in that.

Speaking of injuries, were there any other than Daz, Wood, and Tautuiaki?

I don't recall seeing Basham after some early series.
