I'm trying to think of the good things about last night. Here's what I got:

1. Beau is still running hard.
2. Yaz is turning out to be a pretty good kicker.
3. Dri Archer is graduating.

I think that's all I got.

5.  Thankfully the season is almost over with one game left (agree with points 1 through 4 above)

edit: dang-it, Ohio Stunter beat me to it in posting

Count me in as someone who is glad Dri is gone after this year. Speed kills. You could just see last night any time he got the slightest bit of space to work, he hit those jets and it was big trouble for our defense.

6.  Carpenter is a decent kick returner.  Unfortunately, he got a lot of practice last night.

Nix should be gone too.
Waters is still a "good blender", if he can be back next week.

Only one more game of having to watch TT at QB, that's good.

After seeing them both play, I'm still baffled at why Yazdani wasn't the starting kicker all season.  Wasn't Green like 2/7 starting the year on FG's?  I was honestly a little shocked to see Yazdani make from 49 last night, I didn't think he had that kind of leg.  I was thoroughly impressed!

Nothing from the game.

Perhaps in the long run considering OHIO wasn't going anywhere before this game it will make Frank bring in a high octane offensive coordinator.  The offense needs to be more dynamic.  

Wouldn't it be marvelous to have some young D-III wizard on his way to the top to stop in to Athens for a drink of water and shake things up?

The offensive mind just isn't in Athens.  Who would call a reverse on the first play after the half?  You gotta set things up like that and at least fake it once throughout the year.  Total surprise?  Years back with Boo and Theo and Bates there was much more variety.  How many times did we see them start to run and pull back and have 3 wide open receivers to choose from .  Tight ends were used more too. Albin must have gotten banged up on the same play TT did last year.  That corner fade is mostly a waste.  So many teams have really well designed plays in the red zone but if OHIO does, they aren't used.
