I think it helped Ohio somewhat that Kent State already clinched the MAC East, so this game isn't a make-or-break game for Kent anymore. Ohio has a chance in this game, but only if Kent overlooks us and is thinking about the MACC against NIU on the 30th instead. I'm not saying Kent will overlook Ohio, just that it's a possibility (and more or less Ohio's only hope-no way we can even hope to stop Dri Archer).
Whoa, that is some super defeatist stuff there Mark! C'mon now, let's give the Bobcats a fair shake here. Ohio and Kent both played BGSU pretty even (Ohio actually had a bigger stat advantage -- EDIT: not sure it was much bigger though, yards were pretty even in both games, but Ohio had a big advantage in 1st downs -- over BGSU than Kent did). If it hadn't been for breakdowns in a couple of specific areas that have been fine earlier in the year, Ohio could have beaten BGSU as well.
So I think Ohio can definitely play with Kent and beat them, even if Kent brings their best game. Ohio hasn't played great football for several weeks, but if they do, they'll win on Friday.
