Before Tyler got hurt, and even into last year, we ran a lot of option plays where Tyler had the option to keep the ball.  It seems like we've moved away from that type of offense ever since he got hurt, and outside of a couple of plays today, Tyler never really had the chance to keep the ball.  It has changed our offense completely.

Offense can only do what they are told. Runs up the middle rarely work and it makes every other play that much harder to complete for a first down. If they would just come out running at least 60%+ of the time on sweeps, off tackle plays then I don't think anyone in the MAC could stop them. But we have Tim Albin as an OC and we know that won't happen (hell, look at today and when they had success. It's like he needed to prove himself by going away from that stuff late and they lost.)

Thanks for posting.  My subject was going to be "Now we can forget about all this rankings nonsense and concentrate on winning the MAC."  Would've pissed off some people.

As you said, we'll need some help but we can still win the MAC.  Gotta avoid the letdown against EMU Thursday.  Hope this gets the guys pissed off enough that they put a real hurt on EMU.

The D came up big to get us back in the game, but that final drive by Fiami was a killer.  Gave up a couple of key passes and then that 22 yd run.  Wish they had put more pressure on Dysert earlier.

Don't understand some of the play calling, either.  Why so much emphasis on passing against the worst rushing D in the MAC?  They made a few stops, but we were racking up nice yardage, then just shifted to the pass, even on short yardage. 

At least the team won't have all that media attention to put up with and can focus on football.

Very true.  And, as much as we like, we can't beat Miami every single year. We had beaten for 5 or 6 straight years.  Miami was due.  I blame Sports Illustrated.....

I hate to say it, but it was good for the rivalry.  Horrible for us.

It absolutely sucked for us..........we were there on the doorstep........YOU CANNOT TAKE THAT SACK.

Here Here .  All of you who have me on facebook already know my thoughts on the game (hint: I don't blame the players).  Anyways, after watching O$U losing to Michigan for the first time in almost a decade last year (last year's loss was my sister's last home game...so i had to watch...), I began to fear our own fall from grace.  I now know what it's like to lose to a rival.  I now know the true meaning of hatred for said rival.  While I never would have wish for this loss, yes this has restoked the rivalry as I know now what hatred for a rival is.  It's not just a feeling that you get just because they're the rival, it's the feeling you get because your rival just upset your perfect season.  You just watched the team that is your rival upset the first perfect season your team had since 1968.  I am filled with nothing but hatred for the Redhawks, and I will do all that I can to be at the Convo, and Mullet, and Peden from this year into next to tell them how much I hate them.  (I refuse to use any smiley with red, so this is the best I can do)
