To the OHIO football team,

Well the game got off to a shaky start with Miami not relenquishing
the ball to our offense for quite some time, but one thing did start
off right and that was the defense by setting the tone right away
by sacking the quarterback. As well as the offense played, the
defense also had its best game of the season. Here is to looking
forward to more great performances game by game to lead us
back to Detroit.

To the Offense, you had 4 big plays this game and once again showed
balance in the rushing and passing game and your attack is really 
starting to roll as a result. This game featured 3 touchdowns by running
backs with a big 56 yard run by Davidson and a 48 yard run by Harden.
The offensive line played well to open up the running attack and protect
the quarterback once again only giving up one sack on the game. Also,
in another first this season, previously we had Phil break 100 yards, but
this game featured the first 100+ yard rushing runningback of the season
with Davidson registering a career high 103 yards on the ground. You
efforts have earned you your best donation total of the season.

 $0.02  per 3 rushing yards                                                      x 222 =  $3.70
 $0.01  per 6 passing yards                                                    x 149 =  $0.75
 $1.00   per big (25 yd.) play                                                         x 4 =  $4.00
 $3.00  for a touchdown                                                                x 5 =  $15.00
 $1.00  per quarter with no sacks                                              x 1 =  $1.00
 $0.50  each rushing 1st down on 3rd or 4th                           x 3 =  $1.50
 $10.00  per 100 rushing yard player (more than one okay) x 1 =  $10.00
 $6.00  for each rushing touchdown by a runningback          x 3 =  $18.00 
                                                                                                   TOTAL =  $53.95

To the Defense, like the Offense you also registered your best donation
total of the season in the 'Challenge so far. Especially impressive were
your 6 turnovers that included 4 picks off of a very talented quarterback 
in Dysert. The defensive line really responded in putthing pressure on
the quarterback and registered 5 sacks, which I am sure worked into
the team being able to get so many picks so great team unit effort overall.
The defensive also registed a team high total of 48 combined TFL yards
which worked into limiting Miami to just 11 yards on the ground and 
forcing them to become one dimensional. For your excellent efforts on
the day, we the donors award you with the following donations.

      $0.03  per tackle x 52                             =  $1.56
w/  $0.08  bonus for every TFL yard  x 48 =  $3.84 
      $1.20  per sack  x 5                                =  $6.00 
      $2.50  per turnover x 6                           =  $15.00
      $1.25  per shutout quarter   x 2            =  $2.50 
                                                          TOTAL =  $28.90

To Special Teams, not as many punt yards as usual, but Hershey did
register a key punt inside the 20 that pinned the Redhawks back behind
the 5 yard line which was very good to see. Carrie got 18 yards on 3
attempts on punt returns and Donte got 58 yards on 3 attempts on
kick returns. We had another miss of an extra point and another field
goal block that need to get corrected, but a good performance overall.
For your efforts, the donors award you with the following donations.

 $0.45  per extra point                  x 4 =  $1.80
 $0.80  per punt inside the 20   x 1 =  $0.80
 $0.06  per kick return yard       x 58 =  $3.48
 $0.10  per punt return yard      x 18 =  $1.80
 $0.02  per net punt yard        x 193  =  $3.86

By virtue of a great overall performance and 3 rushing touchdowns by
runningbacks, Offense passes Special Teams once again to reclaim
the top spot...



 

$12...maybe because I'm feeling juvenile and want to jump ahead of Carolina Cat's fine efforts (sorry, C.C.)...and only $12 because for our 9th game of the year against a not-so-good team at Peden at a time when we need to build the program (home attendance and fan fervor!) that was not up to the desired level yesterday.

To the OHIO football team,

Well, you stumbled at first and then picked it up in the
second half. Continued to get  sacks which was good,
but need to get more turnovers and definitely have to
watch out for onside kicks more. But in the end, a win is
a win and becoming bowl eligible once again this year is
definitely a good thing. Also, this string of wins marks
a great turnaround to how things were going at the start of
the season.

Now onto the Bulls who have beaten Bowling Green who
you beat badly and lost to Miami in what should be another
very winnable MAC game.

To the Offense, well another pretty high scoring game which
was good to see after sputtering a bit after getting the first
quick score. Good to see Boo have the poise to come back
and have a good game in then 2nd half and hit some really
good passes. Also nice to see the TE get thrown into the mix
with a record setting touchdown reception for Boo. Once again
we rushed for more than we scored which is really saying
something because Bates had no rushes in this game. You
had two big plays not counting Bussey's 24 yard TD. For your
efforts, we award you with the following donations.

$  0.02	per 3 rushing yards	x	174	=	$  2.90
$  0.01	per 6 passing yards	x	240	=	$  1.20
$  1.00	per big (25 yd.) play	x	2	=	$  2.00
$  3.00	for a touchdown	x	5	=	$15.00
$  1.00	per quarter with no sacks	x	3	=	$  3.00
$  0.50	each rushing 1st down on 3rd or 4th	x	1	=	$  0.50
$  6.00	for each rushing touchdown by a runningback	x	1	=	$  6.00
				TOTAL	$30.60

To the Defense, Louisiana's O-line had a lot of injuries and you
made them pay by picking 6 sacks on the day. Only had one
turnover compared to 4 by Louisiana so we lost the turnover
battle. Also, like Miami, we gave up a lot of passing yards with
UL picking up 398 yards through the air with their backup so
definitely an area to work on for Buffalo. On the good side, Gatling
and Dawson teamed up to get back-to-back sacks to force a
punt in the 4th quarter so it was good to see that the intensity was
there. For your efforts, we the donors award you with the following
donations.

	$  0.03	per tackle	x	80	=	$  2.40
w/	$  0.08	bonus for every TFL yard	x	41	=	$  3.28
	$  1.20	per sack	x	6	=	$  7.20
	$  2.50	per turnover	x	1	=	$  2.50
	$  1.25	per shutout quarter	x	1	=	$  1.25
	$  2.00	for each back-to-back sack	x	1	=	$  2.00
					TOTAL	$18.63

On Special Teams, we didn't have any net punting yards because
there were no punts. This of course due to the fact that the Offense
either scored or turned the ball over on every possession only
allowing for one punt that Hershey once again collected a first
down on with a jump, helping Special Teams to once again pick
up a huge $75 donation from Bobcatbob. I gotta say here myself,
I wasn't sure if I would see it twice in a season let alone in the span
of 3 games. On kick returns, you showed your deep talent at running
back with big gainers by Donte (33 yards) and Dallas (34 yards) and
Ryan Clark stepped up and picked up 45 yards on 3 punt return attempts.
Still have to work on the extra points though apparently although we
still hit the once field goal we attempted. For your efforts, we award
you with the following donations.

	$  0.45	per extra point	x	3	=	$  1.35
	$  1.40	per field goal	x	1	=	$  1.40
	$  0.06	per kick return yard	x	105	=	$  6.30
	$  0.10	per punt return yard	x	45	=	$  4.50
	$50.00	per fake kick resulting in a 1st down	x	1	=	$50.00
w/	$25.00	bonus if it involves hurdling an opponent	x	1	=	$25.00
					TOTAL	$88.55

With Hershey's fake punt with finished with a circus jump, Special Teams
once again pulls in the top spot in what has become a battle between the
Offense and Special Teams this year...

Can anyone think of a reason that I should not add $47 to my total.

Noboday likes that I am, in addition to being the biggest optimist on the board, one of the top realists here, also. 
But I put a small few of my dollars where my mouth is.

How 'bout all but about 10 other of the rest of you?!

Good man, 'grad.  I will at least match that.

Thanks for joining up OHIO1985! We officially have more donors participating this year than last year now.

I will reflect your added totals in the second post of this thread.

To the OHIO football team,

Great to once again get over 30 points for fifth game in a row and more
importantly to finish senior night with a win. But, from here on out the
competition will get much tougher so it is time to buckle down and
show the opposition that you are much more than a weaker schedule
would seemingly indicate.

To the Offense, one again another very balanced game through
the air and on the ground. Not many big plays, but the one that you
did have was very eventful with Boo making the touchdown catch
from Bates. Not as many big plays, but plenty of offense, and
once again Boo was fairly consistent with only one pick as was
the O-line with only allowing a sack on the game. For your efforts, 
the donors award you with the following donations.

 $0.02  per 3 rushing yards                                            x 185 =  $3.08
 $0.01  per 6 passing yards                                          x 201 =  $1.01
 $1.00   per big (25 yd.) play                                               x 1 =  $1.00
 $3.00  for a touchdown                                                       x 5 =  $15.00
 $1.00  per quarter with no sacks                                      x 3 =  $3.00
 $0.50  each rushing 1st down on 3rd or 4th                   x 3 =  $1.50
 $6.00  for each rushing touchdown by a runningback x 1 =  $6.00 
                                                                                          TOTAL =  $30.59

To the Defense, well you didn't register any hurries, but who needs
'em when you sack the quarterback 4 times for very big losses most
of the time of 6, 11, 14, 19 yards. Great to see you keep the sack stat
up too with 5 on Miami, 6 on Louisiana in your last two performances.
This is definitely something to try and keep up for Temple. After only
getting one turnover against Louisiana too, you upped it to three
against the Bulls. For your efforts, the donors award you with the
following donations.

  $0.03  per tackle                                 x 70 =  $2.10
w/  $0.08  bonus for every TFL yard  x 51 =  $4.08
  $1.20  per sack                                     x 4 =  $4.80
  $2.50  per turnover                               x 3 =  $7.50
  $1.25  per shutout quarter                   x 1 =  $1.25 
                                                          TOTAL =  $19.73

To Special Teams, nothing too fancy this time around. Your return yards
were fairly respectable for punts and kicks and Hershey's 31 average on
three punts was a little below what we had become accustomed to. Also,
in something we have definitely got to get worked out, we had yet another
missed extra point. Hopefully we can work out this kink in time for our 
match up with the Owls because if we win, it could likely come down to 
a few points difference. For your efforts, we award you with the following
donations.

 $0.45  per extra point x 4            =  $1.80
 $0.06  per kick return yard x 40 =  $2.40
 $0.10  per punt return yard x 10 =  $1.00
 $0.02  per net punt yard       x 94 =  $1.88 
                                             TOTAL =  $7.08

The Offense has been very consistent, and start to close in on Special Teams
once again who might need another Hershey circus jump to win it this year... 

Temple win gets a chunk TBD from me.  And I will agitate in another thread outside of this one for others to come on here and put wallet where face is--peoples seem to love me even more than usual when I do that.

I'm good for at least $100 for last night's smashing of mh55 whatever.

Alright Monroe, I'll add it in.

And a smashing it was. Great performance by OUr team.

To the OHIO football team,

Congratulations on picking up the big win!  You made
all the bobcat alums and fans very proud and strongly
answered all the speculation of the team strength after
playing a schedule as of late that might not have included
some of the stronger competition. But, all you can control
is how well you play each game and here you are with 
7 straight wins with 6 straight wins of over 30 points.
You have really turned it around from the start of the season
so let's just keep this momentum going and win all of
the remaining games.

For the Offense, you executed Solich's game plan and got it
done on the ground and really showed that the running game
is now an official strength of this team. A real sign of improvement
from last season that was a work in progress as the season rolled
on. For your match-up with the Owls, you got over 200 yards on the
ground and earned $10 from colobobcat66 for Vince getting just one
hard enough by rushing for 100. Also, $18 in donations were picked
up from yours truly by getting 3 of your four touchdowns in on the
strong legs of a runningback. Catching the ball RS Donte Foster
registered a big play of 26 yards, and a tip of the hat goes out to the
offensive line for not allowing a sack this game. For your efforts, we
award you with the following donations.

$  0.02	per 3 rushing yards	x	204	=	$       3.40
$  0.01	per 6 passing yards	x	78	=	$       0.39
$  1.00	per big (25 yd.) play	x	3	=	$       3.00
$  3.00	for a touchdown	x	4	=	$     12.00
$  1.00	per quarter with no sacks	x	4	=	$       4.00
$  0.50	each rushing 1st down on 3rd or 4th	x	1	=	$       0.50
$10.00	per 100 rushing yard player (more than one okay)	x	1	=	$     10.00
$  6.00	for each rushing touchdown by a runningback	x	3	=	$     18.00
				TOTAL	$     51.29

To the Defense, there were a lot of yards that were gained in garbage
time after Vince had pretty much salted the game away with his 41 yard
scamper to make it 31-10, but over all you had a very solid game and
were able to limit Temple to 81 net rushing yards. No sacks, but you
picked up three turnovers which won the turnover battle for us. For your
efforts, we award you with the following donations.

	$  0.03	per tackle	x	50	=	$       1.50
w/	$  0.08	bonus for every TFL yard	x	14	=	$       1.12
	$  2.50	per turnover	x	3	=	$       7.50
	$  1.25	per shutout quarter	x	2	=	$       2.50
					TOTAL	$     12.62

To Special Teams, a pretty solid game overall. Last week I mentioned that
the team has been making a habit of missing extra points as of late and
this is a mistake you seem to have corrected against Temple that we can't
say the same for the Owls. Also, Hershey came back in a major way having
a great game with a 43.2 average punting and getting 4 ( ! ) punts inside
the average. Against a team like Temple punting was going to be very
important and here you definitely delivered. Nothing too special on punt
returns, but on kick returns, Donte Harden was responsible for all of the
55 yards returned including a long of 30 yards that was very enterntaining
to watch on the ol' highlight reel. For your efforts, we award you with the
following donations.

$  0.45	per extra point	x	4	=	$       1.80
$  1.40	per field goal	x	1	=	$       1.40
$  0.80	per punt inside the 20	x	4	=	$       3.20
$  0.06	per kick return yard	x	55	=	$       3.30
$  0.10	per punt return yard	x	9	=	$       0.90
$  0.02	per net punt yard	x	216	=	$       4.32
				TOTAL	$     14.92

The Offense is proving to be the team unit to beat this year like the Defense
was last year. They have usurped Special Teams for the top spot once again...

Also, at this rate, you will definitely be able to earn $1000 between all of the 3 team units.

Well, that was probably the most unexpected result that possibly could have happened. Looks like no one is going to do it for us and maybe it is better that way. So how about $245 for beating the Flashes to win the MAC East?
