Here's my best story about soft schedules for Ohio:

Northeastern was the opponent at home. I had to look up who they even were as I had not heard of them ever. At any rate I took my young family to this game introducing my two young sons to big time college football. The crowd was so sparce that festival seating was the rule. We took good seats at about the 30 yardline with hardly anyone near us. As a longtime Ohio fan I had suffered through many bad seasons after 1968 but still I was not prepared for what I saw that day. Ohio had the ball and was moving steadily backward towards Byrd Arena. It's now third and very long from about the Ohio 14. The play no one was expecting turned into one of our bigger gainers for a rare Ohio first down that day. What a genious call it was. The QB pitched left while the wishbone went right. The ball laid still on the gound in the backfield for what seemed like an eternity. Suddenly one of the biggest and slowest Northeastern lineman picks up the ball and lumbers toward the goal line. Inside the one yard line a heads-up Bobcat comes in from behind and knocks the ball into the end zone. A big scramble for the ball only pushes it out the endline for, of all things, a touchback. The ball comes out to the twenty and an Ohio first down. What a highlight!

I'll take the wins and the AD can keep making the schedule.
