It makes you wonder why boo wasnt the man to start the season we would have a totally different record. If bates were playing this game we would be down 10 to nothing. Good call on starting boo. Go Cats.
I don't think the record would have changed much, Boo played a lot at Toledo (3 INTs) so the only potential change is the Marshall game (where Boo still played quite a bit).
Any case, I agree 100% that Boo
is playing very well today and I expect Ohio will torch Eastern in the second half, throwing 20 times or more. The Ohio D should be alright, aside from flukes (fake punt, bogus roughing the passer penalty -- that may be the softest roughing the passer penalty I have ever seen in all my years of watching football) they've been able to bottle up Eastern. That fade Eastern executed was a thing of beauty, but I dare them to do it again.
Special teams, especially special teams D, needs to be better in the second half. Start them on the 20, not the 40.
