Ohio is about where I expected before the season. A good defense, an offense that is young, but improving, and with a lot of fight. Eastern, a year ago, would have won easily, but they are having their own struggles, with a new coach, and minus some key people. Earlier I think I said Ohio 27-17, but in this official thread, I'm going to lower my scores a little. My official guess is:
Ohio 20, EIU 10, 24,813
I would not call this a good defense because we can't stop the pass. We do okay against the run when it's expected to be a running play. We have not been able to stop the pass very well, so I'm looking to see if we can do that today. If so, we will win comfortably, otherwise we'll be in for a dogfight.
