BG--500 yards. What does that have to do with anything.
I'm seeing 31-13 loss, including 28-6 after 3 quarters.
Really think 500 yards is representative of anything meaningful to anyone anywhere.
One game away from winning the MAC East. Not really.
Name a worse conference and a worse division.
Would the result have been any different if Vick had not been out with a knee injury? Would the result have been any different if OUellette had not been crippled by an ankle injury? Were those injuries caused by coaching? Was 500 yards of offense by the second string a poor effort?
I felt that the BG game was a game where Ohio grew a lot. With AJ hobbled, the running game just wasn't there, so they had to rely on passing, with Sprague putting the ball up an amazing 56 times. You aren't going to win very often when you throw the ball 56 times because it's tough to finish drives with no running game, and the BG game was typical in that respect. Nevertheless, Ohio never gave up, and battled BG up and down the field for 60 minutes.
Once the team had some time to heal, and had a healthy Vick and AJ down the stretch, they were a different team. The last three games, Buffalo, NIU, and Miami were very solid games, and set the tone for a very good year in 2015.
In other news, the Cavs won the Finals ..because the results would have been different if Love and Irving...
What do I want? Excellent question. Two very simple things. First, a MACC.
Second, for the consensus here to shift away for 'you're dreaming...what universe are you in' to a reasonably objective look at our program.
And the answer to the latter over the last 2.5 years is...
Further hint: Yes, it was nice before the last 2.5 years. But over 2.5 years is ancient history.
A reasonably objective look at the relevant data.
