We need a repeat of last night. Stop the run, win the game. UK busted off quite a few good TD runs, and had 6 TD's on the ground altogether. Obviously Kent is not Kentucky, we will be dealing with SEC talent, but I think if we come in and survive the storm at the beginning we can come out with a win! UK will be hyped after scoring almost 60 points, even though it was against UT-Martin, but if we can slow that run, Ohio starts 2-0. Go CATS!

love the over confidence of Kentucky fans, the most common score prediction is UK in the mid 40s and OU in the mid teens. I used to get mad and think it was disrespectful but now I know to sit back and enjoy the show. Can't wait for Saturday.

These two teams are very similar. Both are young and have loads of talent . Should come down to little things such as coaching and special teams. I'm calling cats with a 20-17 win in OT

I don't think that  "not" belongs there. This team will go toe to toe with Kentucky. They may or may not win, but Kentucky will know it was a battle.

Go Bobcats!

They'll probably learn more about us from Week 1 than we'll learn about them.  Their top two RBs were in for a total of ten plays, and Heard had just two carries -- for 116 yds and 2 tds.  Daz had as many carries by himself as UK's top three backs combined.  UTM didn't give us many hints on how to stop them.

I was surprised at the early spread, not surprised it has been bet up. Most of the people putting down the money don't know much about either Ohio or Kentucky. This might be the time to make my first bet on a college football game.

To save people from listening to the whole thing, he mentions Ohio at about the 6 minute mark, and there is an insulting press question about 7 minutes, then nothing until about 24 minutes.

To that injury list, I'm not sure about Blake Scipio, who was held out of practices with an injury, and who didn't play against Kent. I also remember hearing that a number of the tight ends had issues, and I note that only Mangen played, so I wonder if there are injury issues with Morgan, Henry, etc.

I think the answer is more insulting then the question. What an arrogant a##. I am glad I bought the tickets now. This will be a very gratifying win.

While I only viewed the LC-edited version (thanks!), I did not think the coach came off as arrogant at all.  He seemed to have a great deal of respect for Frank and for OHIO.  He even knew our rightful name, unlike the idiot reporter.  Perhaps, FIU guy would like to watch this video and see an SEC coach say "OHIO" numerous times and be referring to the school in Athens with not one person in the audience, with the possible exception of the idiot reporter, having any doubt what school he was referring to. 

With a conference game kicking off our season, Frank was not able to approach the game like an opening day. Instead, the impact of the game was so powerful, he had to play anybody anywhere.

So, does Frank approach this game with an opener mentality? I think back to last year's Louisville game and how vanilla and conservative we were in every facet. He seemed to just want to get players some reps and keep everybody healthy. I'm very curious to see how he approaches this game. I think the attitude of the team will necessitate that he pull out all the stops to ensure OHIO is competitive and in the thick of the action throughout.

I don't understand the question.

They will do as they always do. They will break down Kentucky, as they broke down Louisville, and as they broke down Penn State. They will try to make a solid plan to exploit things that they think will work. They will come up with various defensive alternatives to cover Kentucky with matchups they think will work. They will emphasize solid play, and execution of fundamentals.

What they won't do is come up with some crazy plan that takes Ohio out of what they want to run. They will still be 50-50 run-pass. They will still run the basic Ohio offenses and defenses. They will run plays they will run the rest of the year, just the ones that they think are most apt to work against Kentucky.

If everything goes right, it will turn out like Penn State. If everything goes wrong, it will turn out like Louisville. Well, strike that ... it won't turn out like Louisville because this team has too much fight for that. They may lose, but if they do, Kentucky will still know they were in a battle.

In the end the team that wins will be the one that executes the fundamentals the best, and the one that makes the fewest mistakes.
