Indeed, but how good is Fordham? We really don't know. Some here claim they will end up in the top 25 of FCS, while others point out that they were just an average FCS team last year. For that matter, how good was FAU? They blew out Charlotte, but lost badly to UCF, yet tonight they are giving Purdue a real battle, currently trailing 21-20 at the end of the third quarter.

Thus, it's impossible to draw reliable conclusions, and all we can do is guess. My guess is that the average opponent for the rest of the year will be somewhat less than the average they have faced so far. That leads me to guess that this year Ohio is going to have a lot of passing yards and score a lot of points, but they will also give up a lot of passing yards, and a lot of points.

At the current pace Rourke may set records in passing yards for a season, attempts for a season, completions for a season, and completion percentage for a season, and could also set records for most TD passes in a season and pass efficiency for a season.

On the flip side, Ohio is giving up nearly 45 points a game, on average, and that may very well be an Ohio record. Prior to this week, five teams were lower than Ohio in points given up per game, but after this week, Ohio may be last, or close. It's going to be tough to win 4 more games if they keep giving up 45 points a game.

BTC has been saying for a long time that Kurtis was a better passer than Nathan (but a worse runner). I see nothing that tells me that he's not correct.

Ohio's top rushers today, other than Rourke, were McCormick, Toledo and Neatherton. Are all three walk-ons or former walk-ons? If so, can any other team in the country make that claim?

Well...
Gotta be some record to throw 6 TD passes and average 45 yards per TD reception!!!!

Game ball to the Special Teams. Without the kick return the Bobcats lose for the second year in a row to a lesser conference.

Miami is beating a power 5 team while we barley beat an FCS team.

If you wanna gives ST game ball they don’t deserve it. Vakos did what he does. KO return TD nice but should lost that pooch, FOrdham should of recovered. At this point everyone knows what’s coming but deep man still set up on the GL. No game balls, maybe the green guy gets on or give him a scholarship to play D

No more Ohiolyfe bs…..,said Gimme Austin Brawley, CJ Hankins, Adonis Williams and other young guys we had a better chance.

Not long after Adonis did come in more an had one of bigger sticks we seen and only gave up 1 catch, 7 yard catch in man…which shame on them for thinkin we could consistently match up in man.

Hoban my team but these dudes above all seen and they players, it’s in they blood and a few played better competition in high school. Yeah I sit here tonight and watch Miyan Williams amd Jayden Ballard which hurts….only time seen Miyam play in HS CJ beat on for a half til Williams left game Ohio need them dawgs…U seen it from Adonis who gave up one short catch and has one of the best hits of yr. Get them fdawgs that just keep they mouth shut an play hard and stay locked in. Then Brawley went against Ballard everyday in practice the man skills are there, you see it I know you do. High school different but dang that was bad bad. . Keye a dawg and the heartbeat at LB so I get no Hankins but you not gonna roll with Brawley and Williams early on after that sh’’. Don’t Tell me it’s depth make a move..

Exploited half that secondary over and over. Very disappointed With DL, nobody won matchups and 1 sack, 1 sack!!

Defensive staff is likely gone at end of season unless they turn things around in a hurry. Head coach might be gone too if they can't fix the defense. They haven't stopped anything in four games. Kent State will put big numbers on us.

In terms of size, Kent State looked like a middle school team playing an NFL team, yet they hung with Georgia all day long. I would not be surprised if they put up 70 points on us.

A lot of doom and gloom in this thread. There’s not a poster out there that thought Ohio would have a better record than what they have right now; no one predicted a 3-1 or 4-0 record, no one.

Marshall and Appalachian State, two media darlings just a short 2 weeks go after having beaten Notre Dame and Texas A&M, have just lost 3 out of 4 games; APSU just lost to James Madison at home and Marshall’s lost 2 games in a row.

The point is, the way this season’s playing out so far in college football, who knows who’s going to win one week from the next. Take the win and move on to Kent State and let’s see what happens.

I'm choosing to subscribe to this philosophy for now. We almost lost that game yesterday due to mental and execution errors on defense. The Fordham quarterback is very good (could start for a G5 team of his choosing, and maybe a P5 or two). On most of their touchdowns yesterday, all he had to be was relatively accurate because receivers were running free due to defensive errors. That can be potentially corrected. For the rest of the season's sake, those need to be corrected very quickly.

We had a redshirt junior safety who got burned 3X for TDs. Finally pulled him.

Who was responsible for the blown coverages?

I assume we're talking about OUr #30, a linebacker-turned-safety this off-season, on their #1. If so, it's a matchup Ohio coaches should never put #30 in. Total mismatch.
