Stat-wise, the next three games are against 3 of the better passers in the MAC.  I hope the pass rush is there and we get a couple of INTs starting at CMU.  I think we will score but nothing is a gimme in this league!

Interesting note. Ohio has not had an interception since the first half at Kent, which is pretty much the time when the d-line started getting thin. Now that we're seeing some depth there, again, maybe you're right that the int's will pick up, too.

Strategically scheduled audit in the Lansing area means I'll be in attendance for this one...and I am super worried we have a let down here.  I see a high scoring contest for sure.  Lets take care of business!

One thing in the Cats' favor is the extra day or two for prep and to recoup.  The Cats played Wednesday at home while CMU was at Kent Friday night.

As the game is on ESPNU, it won't be webcast through ESPN3. You can stream it (live only) through WatchESPN.com or the various apps, if you happen to subscribe to one of the carriers who supports the service and have access to ESPNU through your cable package.

This is contrary to ESPN's broadcast schedule, which clearly shows the Ohio-CMU game being streamed via ESPN3.:

http://espn.go.com/espntv/onair/index?start=11-10-11-3:00-PM

Note:  ESPN3 streams have been recently folded into WatchESPN, so anorris is correct that it can be streamed via that source.

My gut feeling about the game is Ohio is going to take Central to the woodshed. They've got nothing to play for.

These guys have owned us.  This team has an opportunity to erase some of that with a showing up to their potential.  Another Temple-like outing would certainly do it.  Now that the playbook has been thrown wide open, we need to get up early and build  a lead.  We know they can score and I wouldn't want to see this game in the hands of our D at the end.

Cats - 34
Chips - 27

If the "A" team shows up tonight, we win big -- by four TDs.

If the "C" team shows up (the team that played at Beefs and against Balls) we lose by three points. 

I realized that we had some injury issues when we played the "B brothers," however, that's not why we lost.  We had enough talent on the field to win both games, but we lacked any type of intensity.

Now that we're in sole possession of first (thank you Temple), I would think Frank would be pounding it into the kids heads to STAY FOCUSED.  Kent State showed last year what happens when you don't come to the field business as usual.

This year, we're different.

Jeff, the ESPN3 site does not show OHIO being available. I'm assuming it won't be added late but stranger things have happened, I guess.

Pretty much in agreement here although if Central plays its A game, I not so sure we win by 4 TD's.  Frankly other than Marshall (and Cato helped us a lot in that game), we haven't come close to an A game all year on offense,  defense, and special teams.  I'm hoping we can start doing that this week and continue it the rest of the season.

I just checked the CMU board-6 people saying Ohio wins, none say CMU.  Wow, what a fan base.  If their team is as demoralized as the fan base we may win by 4 TD's.

Looks like low 30s and a wintery mix falling out of the sky around game time. I hope we packed sideline heaters (am I correct in assuming they're standard this time of year?)

Good teams win this game by 7-10.   Great teams by more.  

MAC teams in general lack depth and consistency week to week so who the heck knows what will happen.

Winning this game would show me something though as I regard CMU as the toughest road game in the MAC.

Its snowing pretty good here in Lansing right now...But the radar is very patchy with patches of rain, snow, and sleet.  Oddly it looks like more rain than snow to the north.  By game time I would think the temps will be cool enough for it to just be snow, if any precipatation at all.  I doubt anything will accumulate.

And I know I originally hail from Wisconsin...but if our players are significantly affected by 30 degree tempatures and need heaters on the sideline...Thats just sad.  Kent last year was more like teens and very windy if I recall.  This shouldn't be too bad.

I know this has already been discussed, but is there anywhere the game can be watched online other than at WatchESPN?  My cable provider doesn't support the app, and I'm trying to find a link for the game but am having no luck.

I'm pretty sure it's an ESPU exclusive and you probably won't be able to find anywhere to watch it.

Foster's Facebook says he's fixing a steak and waiting for the game to come on...any reason why he's not in Mt. Pleasant?

Just saw the concussion notice. Thanks.
