All bets are off for me with the lousy weather tonight. Will likely favor the running game so we shall see what happens

I have listed the scores of all our games this year to high lite our improvement on the season.
After game 5, when we were 2-3 we started to play better, going 5-0. I first noticed our points allowed, averaged 19, verses 42. This clearly shows what has been discussed here, the D has figured it out and D wins games.
I am very positive for these last 2 games. Imagine going from 3-9 LY to 9-3 TY, WOW.

41 - 38
10 - 46
10 - 43
59 - 52
24 - 31
55 - 34
33 - 14
24 - 17
45 - 24
37 - 21

GO BOBCATS

He sat starters against the Browns, and the Bengals had already clinched. We should go into every game with one goal -- winning.

My point is we are in a similar position as being in the playoffs (it’s just not called the playoffs). We’ve earned the right to win one game (BG) and keep playing for a championship.

So can we win a run dominated game?

Agree 100%! Ohio hasn't clinched squat yet, except probably a bowl game. The goal right now to get to the MAC Championship game. *Maybe* if they clinch the East tonight you rest some people in the BUGS game.


Wasn't it Herm Edwards that said "You play to win the game"?

Put 7 or 8 in the box and tell Ball State to try to run it. Gotta be able to win the trench war.

I prefer winning on the road tonight and then winning next week at home as well. It is nice that we are not do or die tonight, but let's keep the long train running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl1utsrSbrE

Let's go Bobcats!!

Ohio has improved tremendously, but we are not good enough to be speculating about resting players looking ahead to next week, etc. Total focus should be on Ball State. Ohio favored by only 3.5. It's a game that can go either way. Take care of business tonight.

And Finn is out against BGSU tonight. More likely the game next week will mean a lot more now. Just win this one first and we’ll see what happens

This wind and rain is not going to help Ohio.

I'll be in the chat room.

BG up 14-0 early. Looking more and more likely that next week in Athens is going to be a big one.

Now 21-0. I think people might be taking BG a little too lightly.

If Rourke is hurt as bad as he looked going off, we are in trouble

This is why we signed Navarro and should not have wasted him in garbage time.

Wish we would've kicked the FG. Didnt have to put the new guy in a high pressure moment. Needed to reward the offense for getting down the field. Praying Rourke is ok!

Even if Rourke is able to play, do we sit him?
