yeah, I've lived here for 25 years. ***ks given about osu? zero. I might be in the minority but I'm not alone.
25? You're a novice.

Double that quarter of a century and I still have you beat. Double your dislike for o$u and I have you beat again. Rooting interests are OUr Bobcats and whoever is playing o$u.
That's the thing though...I still want them to lose but I used to watch them just to root against them, now I just don't care. I don't think about them. Plus, apathy toward them is more likely to get under yuck skin than hatred.

My disdain for the shit show that is college athletics is a factor here too. I'm not spending any extra energy on them or anyone. Too many more important or interesting things to care about. Just growing up I guess.

The line is still at 17.5, while I think it opened at 14.5 a few months ago, it hasn't moved much either way from 17.5 in months. The O/U has dipped all the way to 44.5. Thats down 2 points from yesterday and, I think, 4 points from 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Suddenly, it is at 16.5 this morning.

Well, that was a pretty promising looking first drive. Let’s see how the defense holds up.

Gotta look better in the Red Zone. One quarter of dominance and now the team finds itself down.

I may jinx everything, but this team is playing like a conference contender so far. They may not win today, but I like what I see.

I concur.

Was hoping for a close game and no injuries.

I think we have some depth…we are about to find out.

How about Anthony Tyus!

Wood's injury looked like it might be lost time and I wouldn't be surprised if Williams has a concussion. That would hurt our coverage if so

The complete and utter lack of execution in the red zone is wild. Syracuse is begging them to score. And they won’t.

What’s with the playcalling inside the 15?

Tyus is running them over and the REFUSE to give him the ball. This is insane.

About 8 plays inside the five yard line. 0 to Tyus. Awesome.

Coaching staff will be kicking themselves when they rewatch those three red zone trips. They overthought things.

8 potential points off the board. Adds more weight to defense's shoulders. Hopefully we start strong in 2nd half and dominate TOP (time of possession). Would love to see us use 2 TE sets.

🍻 to 2nd half.

What a swing.

A should’ve been sack and half-ender turns into a 1st down and then a blown coverage TD.

On the whole very encouraged, though. This running game is going to be incredible in MAC play.
