Obviously the "bookies" missed the memo about the OHIO injuries. The past 2 weeks they had us 8.5 road  favorites against Buffalo and 14 point favorites against Ball St. The bookies would probably concur that OHIO has underperformed in each of those. We really aren't beat up offensively and we should have had the scoreboard ringing at home against Ball. Granted we are young and really beat up defensively, can't make any excuse for the offense though. Just sayin.

We will get a win next week, but......I don't think I will take the Bobcats to cover whatever spread we are given.

There was a shift in play calling in the second half, with us trying fairly low percentage long throws (incomplete, in windy conditions and tight coverage) on first down for three consecutive possessions.  I thought those got us out of rhythm a bit.

I certainly don't think it is time for a new Coach.  I do think the current group has done well in comparison to previous staffs.  My biggest disappointment is that i thought we would be able to bring superior talent to Ohio with this staff and their name recognition.  Obviously, that has not been true.  Although we win more recruiting battles than in the past, the bottom line is everyone in the MAC is going after second tier talent and nobody gets all of it so it is spread out and nobody is dominant.  You throw in a few injuries and the result is a disappointing season.  I fear there is more to come.  Look at the time of possession Saturday...can't stop anybody and can't sustain long drives.

I will also add the ONLY way to really upgrade talent is to get out of the MAC.  Cincinnati is a prime example.  Ten years ago Miami and Ohio were even in talent with the Bearcats.  With the switch to the Big East, they have been able to get those 8-10-12 three and four star players.  NO MAC team can do that.  Of course with the woes of the Big East who knows what will happen.

You can't be serious. I've been at this since 1968 and if this isn't the most successfully sustained run of highly competitive Bobcat football teams you just simply haven't been paying attention.
I'm far more concerned for the fortunes of OHIO football after Solich leaves/retires than I am with him at the helm. Yes, we've underperformed the last few weeks and that is highly disappointing. I don't think it's been because Solich has been less than intense. I saw him about an hour before kick-off against Ball last week - he sure looked intense to me.

Good Gawd!  Apparently we've become O$U without the $...

Calling for Coach Solich's head (not to mention a Sophomore QB who's arguably the best we've seen on the field in decades and who clearly holds the evolution of Ohio football in his hands) after 2 losses by a total of 4 points (both of which were played with a significantly depleted Defense).  You people are an absolute embarrassment...

No good can come of further posts for a while...I'm out until after the Temple game...An Owl feast to be followed by a Crow feast...

Go Bobcats!
