The competition may not have been excellent, but the Ohio defense was top-notch this evening.  Just a few notes on how well they did:
  • They caught as many balls from GW's QB as the receivers did.  The GW QB was 3-17 with 3 picks.
  • The defense almost held their opponents under 100 yards (105)
  • The GW QB threw for 12! yards all game
  • Ohio DB's accounted for 72 interception return yards, or 6 times more yards than GW receivers
  • Ohio's defense alone outscored GW in the game, 7-3. 
  • In two games, Ohio's defense has been run on 62 times...for 99 yards.  That is under 1.6 yards per carry. 
  • The longest drive all night by Gardner Webb was 23 yards, which ended in an interception returned 17 yards.
  • In the 2nd quarter, where the game was decided, the GW QB was 1-9 with 3 INT's.

But this was against one of the worst offenses I've seen in years.

Both true:  great stats, but yesterday's oppo probably wasn't that good.  But the core is there for a good defense.  I think that we have a handful of guys who at least get pro tryouts plus we've played a lot of back-ups with no particular diminishment of effectiveness.  So far, so good.
