Posters, don't bail on the season. It is about winning the MAC East. Let's see what Akron does against the Herd next week. Likely they'll do better than OHIO because I doubt Cato will be able to complete as many perfectly thrown TD's (but he may). The MAC East is weak.

Some posters on here are really clueless. What made some say this is arguably Frank's best defense after two games? Past defense when OHIO played in two MAC Championships played tough in December against outstanding QB's. OHIO goes to Columbus a few back and muffs a punt to lose to the Buckeyes yet this year's defense is arguably better than em all!

Having watched the Browns come back vs the Steelers and now the Herd dismantling the Cats. One thing is clear. When you can run the ball you can destroy any defense. The pass is so much easier to complete when holes are popping open then play action works and the pass rush is marginalized.

Herd goes undefeated and the Bobcats win the MAC East (because nobody else is very good)

I like both OHIO QB's and think it extremely valuable that both have been tested by stout defenses unlike any OHIO is likely to see in the East. Vick is tough as nails. The O Coordinator needs to have Vick come under center once in a while. Too many times on the TV screen, Marshall played way off our slot. If you took a quick snap it would be peanuts to just throw it out to the guy and get 4 yards a crack but from the shotgun those plays take too long for the snap the catch and the toss.

While this game was clearly a butt getting kicked, it was primarily from power running and perfectly executed BIG plays by guys that don't play in the MAC.

Pataskala--Vick was under desperate pressure on that short pass (3 yard line) on the first drive. He was lucky to get the pass off and not have it intercepted.

Classmate--You hit the nail on the head. The lack of innovation/creativity on offense is stunning. Two back sets, going under center, running the right guys inside (guys who have power to make yards in tough)--where is it? Another clue--the swing pass to the running back in motion is good for one try every two or three games; it can't be a basic/staple of the offense (probably 'cause db's roll with the guy in motion so are there to stop it).

To me, I'm almost ready to call for the firing of our offensive coordinator. We can't make our players bigger, stronger or faster than they are. But we can show evidence of thinking.

If I'm the opposition's D-coordinator, I'm ecstatic at the lack of thinking which OHIO shows on offense. Makes my job so much easier.


I'm sorry. But I still think that this young/inexperienced O-line has enough, is doing enough to get yards inside. Which will open up much of the rest of the offense. But inside yards are more likely to come from a 241 lb running back (stupd cow's 'rockhead) than 177 lbs.

I can take losing. Our guys kept playing. But I can't take lack of thinking and originality.


Also, might actually try to run true hurry-up plays once in a while. Rush to the line and get the snap off as fast as possible...catch the D unprepared. Equivalent to a quick-pitch or change of speeds in baseball.


Yeah, you've heard this from me many times before. But it's still true. WE JUST DON'T THINK ON OFFENSE.

You stupd cow are so arrogant.

It's gonna be fun watching your disappointment due to overestimation as your season progresses. Mark it.
