Found the box score. I think what I was remembering the most about our passing attack in this game was the three TD passes. Cleve did have a very respectable total passing yards also, but not nearly as good as Cook's. [/QUOTE]
Wow. UC had 683 yards of total offense in that game, while Ohio had "only" 491. The real difference in the game appears to be the turnovers, where Cook threw an interception, and UC had 2 fumbles, while Ohio had no turnovers.
[QUOTE=oubobcatjohn] Only chance we have is if Kent State lays an egg in a letdown from playing Top ten teams and plays sloppy and we win the turnover battle and hang around where we win on a late field goal. Pressure is on Kent State. They are 1-3 and this game is like our Duquesne game from last year for Kent State. MAC teams are prone to bad losses. Maybee we catch a break and Kent State just comes out flat.
Kent has been pretty balanced so far between passing and rushing. I predict that Ohio "forces" them to pass. Schlee is averaging about 170 yards passing a game, so far. For Ohio to win they need:
1. Hold Schlee to <340 yards passing
2. Hold Kent to <500 yards total offense
3. Rourke throws for 400+ yards
4. Win the turnover battle
5. No errors on special teams
