At this point it's clear Rourke has blossomed into a fantastic throwing QB in the MAC. Let's use him more and take more shots. Let's trust him to make a good decision on third down. I hated the option call to Bangura late. As much as Sieh's a weapon, I don't have much faith in this offense converting third downs on the ground.
This. Time to go full Maction and air it out all the time.
I don’t care how many yards they had. The D created turnovers and Kent had holding penalties because our dudes were just better on those plays.
You wanna win the MAC? You gotta score more than 24. Let Rourke chuck it….

The "good" news about the awful defense is that Rourke is likely going to set some passing records for Ohio by a wide margin, because Ohio will be needing a lot of TDs to win any game. At the current pace, for example, Rourke will exceed Tettleton's record for passing yards in a season by 50%.
[QUOTE=L.C.]... 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
