Wofford is in the best non-BCS conference, along teams like Appalachian State. Many of the teams in the Southern conference would be competitive in the MAC, so this is no pushover. There are some weak FCS schools out there, but Wofford is not one of them.

While I think Wofford is a solid team, I don't think they will be competitive. I  think that this will be Solich's best Ohio team yet, though I expect the 2011 team to be even better. The defenses the last few years have been solid, and this one will be, too. The excellent defensive line with be able to control the line of scrimmage, and the defense has speed and athleticism throughout. They will get some turnovers, but also will keep Wofford in difficult down situations and won't need to rely on turnovers for stops.

Ohio offenses under Solich have been adequate, but never explosive. I can't remember any years when they were able to take the other team out of games early. The 9-5 seasons came as a result of staying competitive, and winning close games, not blowing teams out. This year will be different. I predict that Ohio's offense is going to put up some big numbers. I think we'll see a big jump in offensive production, and some games with 400 yards of total offense or more.

Wofford fans may think they can win this game. I believe they are mistaken, and that it won't take them long to realize it. I think Ohio is both hungry and explosive. I think Ohio takes control of this game in the first half, and a lot of players play for Ohio in the second half, and I think that despite the fact that I think Wofford is actually a good team. I think Wofford is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
