Seems like we're in pretty good health given how deep we are into the season.  It would be great to see Prior out there; when he was carted off, I was sure that his season was over.

Let's beat these BG.

Donte and Bass were termed "questionable" for BG on Thursday or Friday; I think it was from Solich's press conference at the end of last week.

Shaw hasn't started a game since Penn State, I think. Looks like he's the go to guy this week.

I'll consider it a moral victory if BG doesn't block a punt. Ohio just doesn't have enough playmakers. On offense, maybe Foster and Cochran. There's no one in the defensive front seven that would worry opposing offensive coordinators. And Carrie is the only in the secondary that can make plays.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Ohio has a chance. Maybe Tettleton will surprise us and play like a championship quarterback (see Jordan Lynch and Tettleton as a sophomore) by running 15-20 times. But seeing how it's game 10 and he's run 26 times the entire year for -11 yards, I'm not holding my breath.

No point in watching the football game. A loss to BG is a lock. Time better spent tonight watching the Cats play osu in basketball.

How do I know it's a lock? SBH in attendance for a Bobcat game at BG, be it football or basketball, never ends in a positive way. Mark it down and you can thank me later.

Ohio is going for their fourth win in a row at BG. Ohio has won three of the last four vs BG.  The last time I read a post like this of an Ohio fan bailing on the Bobcats was just before the Independence Bowl.

Frank had me at hello. I'm with Frank. I understood what happened to last year's team with the injuries. But despite the injuries and not being able to get a punt off vs. BG, they still fought against the Falcons last year. This year's team completely no-showed on 2 games really without an excuse to do so.

I also understand that sometimes the year to win picks you instead of you picking it. So I remain hopeful. In any case, I'll be watching. Including tonight.

The last year I picked was 2011, and while they didn't reach my goals, it wasn't a bad season, at 10-4, and all of the losses were relatively close. They definitely should have beaten NIU that year - it took an incredibly bad 2d half in the MACC to lose it

My current pick is 2015. I'm hoping for a strong finish this year because I'm expecting an off-year next year.

Is anyone surprised that Coach Solich hasn't insisted that TT run more - or alternatively inserted Vick with instructions to run with some frequency?

I can't help wondering if there is a measure of denial precluding a decision on either of the above...

don't know why so many people think our QB is the key to our 200lb+ running backs having success. If the offensive line can't block for BB don't know how they'll block for TT.

Doesn't help that we have a couple playmakers with some injuries. We're going to need a big day from our OL to open up the running game. Seems like if Beau breaks a big run early that really helps the rhythm of our offensive playcalling.

I know there are more variables involved than just Tettleton's running, but Ohio's running game has regressed as Tettleton has stopped running. At the minimum, you would think he could take one D-lineman out of the equation by neutralizing the attack of a DE
