Again, La Monroe's DC set his secondary up to fail, prepared them to sell out against the run. Who ever prepared the scouting report on Ohio did not do their due diligence.  I am confident any time the defense wishes to challenge Ohio to beat them one on one coach Albin will call the plays, a coach Gdowski prepped QB (TT or Vick) will be glad to wing it downfield and coach Dixon prepped receivers (any of them) will be on the other end.  Next up is Louisville who aint no La Monroe.  Those birds will be smarter and will, I expect, challenge Ohio to beat them with the run or short passing game.  If the next game does not yield two receivers over 100 yards, but, two rushers over 100 it will not be because coach Albin forgot about his receivers, Louisville will have their say in how the game evolves. 

I think ULM looked at the last month of the season, saw how inept Ohio's passing game had looked and decided to sell out against the run and short passes.  They didn't count on Ohio working on the longer passing game, including the blocking schemes, and making marked improvements there.  Then after the first drive, they failed to make proper adjustments, so Ohio scored easily again.  Plus, having some people healthy again on both sides of the ball really helped.  I think what the game will do is make our early opponents next season less willing to sell out, thus making our running game more effective.
