Oh boy... please don't come back, please don't come back...

Yep, got a love our tackling

This isn’t it….

Ron Collins calling prevent defense the whole third quarter lol gotta love him

How about now?

Welp, it got scary there but not going to complain about a win against our biggest rival.

Defense looked much, much improved over what we've seen the entire season. I wasn't sitting there rolling my eyes at all the missed tackles, hopefully they can keep it up for the rest of the year to recover this poor season.

Happy to win, but giving up 492 passing yards is concerning!

1. You are completely INSUFFERABLE

2. They nearly blew a 28pt lead ... is that really an "@SSWHIPPING"?

3. I was wrong ... really didn't think a 1-7 team coming off a bye week would get off the mat & win. Good on them!

P.S. I also didn't account for Chuck Martin to somehow out-Albin Tim Albin. Wow ... those 4th down calls were something! That game was certainly there for the taking for Fiami.

Good for Cats ... a win in what's been a dark couple months.

Glad for the win. At least we'll have one win at home this year.

But how many times do we have to give MOFO (or any other team) a chance to beat us in the 4th quarter, especially when we had a 28-pt lead midway through the third quarter. Every time MOFO had the ball in the 4th quarter it was almost a given that they would score quickly. If they had had a kicker that was worth anything we would've lost (blocked FG and a missed extra pt). Their last three drives were 9 plays, 71 yds, 2:24; 5 plays, 95 yds, 0:59; 6 plays, 56 yds, 0:40. If Tuggle hadn't come through we'd be 1-8 now.

Bringing Rogers in just to throw the ball on 3rd and 6 with 4:30 to go after he sat the bench all night in 40-degree weather (or colder) was damn stupid. It was a good play but his arm was cold and it showed.

This thing of trying to draw teams offsides with hard counts just doesn't work anymore. Maybe, just maybe, it's because we don't use hard counts at any other time during the course of a game. Either run a play or punt the ball instead of wasting timeouts.

Other MAC teams scared to play us? Don't think so.

I'm extremely happy that we won, but as others have said the coaching on this team still leaves me scratching my head. Prevent-victory-defense for the last quarter and a half of the game? I believe it started after we got the TD in the third quarter that put us up 28-0.

I was informed by a friend who attends practices regularly that this week we'd done a lot of practicing of recovering onside kicks. I will have to say that that was prescient. So, I give credit where credit is due. But I can't understand our defensive strategy. OK, if your up 28 with five minutes to go in the game, the prevent makes some sense, but with a quarter and half to go? And, you have to take into account the kind of QB you are facing. If it's QB who isn't much of a passer, OK, maybe you can get away with using the prevent-style defense a little earlier, but hell, man, that's not Miami.

During that third quarter my wife was yelling, we are going to blow this. This team can't keep a lead. I was the calm one saying, I don't think even this team can blow this big a lead. Toward the end, when they scored that last TD, I wasn't so sure.

Also, in terms of coaching, why didn't Tuggle fall down at the I foot line instead of scoring? Miami would never have gotten the ball back? While I really enjoyed seeing Tuggle score (he's one of my favorite Bobcats), if you are thinking strategically you've coached your players to understand things like this and have situational awareness.

My friend who attends practices tells me that this coaching staff will get it done and that I need to have more patience. Maybe so, but put me in the still skeptical camp. But, I'm willing to be proven wrong, and hope that next week we will win again.

Really, you want to call Tuggle's decision (a poor one), a coaching issue? At the end of the day, they are young people who make decisions despite coaching.

Agree. No one expected Tuggle to break in the clear. The issue with the situation and this team is not Tuggle not falling down at the 1, but the fact we all knew that having a 9 point lead with 90 seconds to play and Miami having no timeouts put Ohio in a precarious position, not put Miami in a dire one.
