Haven’t they had nothing but issues and a depleted roster? Not seeing this one being close.

CMU - 35
Good Guys - 17

CMU’s inexplicable dominance over Ohio and Solich continues.

OHIO 65
CMU 12

The CMU jinx is over. We play two QB's and they both score running and passing TDs. This one is over by before it starts. OHIO coasts for an easy win. GO OHIO!

New Qb (s) and new faces on the O line make me think we will struggle to score. I think we are still figuring it out and will probably get beat by 10-14 points.
Need to be ready for Mt. Pleasant weather which could be nasty.

And let's not forget that if and when Rogers plays/starts, he will be handing off to a 4-headed monster of Allison, Tuggle, Wilbon and Ross with 3 returning starting lineup and all 5 who were on the 2 deep last year. AND let's not forget about the receiving stable he will have. UNLV has been awful so my guess is he had to do it all. Here he has weapons. I am excited at the prospect of our defense and how good it can be. I love our linemen and cannot wait to see McCrory and Thompson joining Dorsa at LB.

Playing Central Michigan in Mt. Pleasant is no picnic. Buffalo got a better draw playing NI.

Big deal. Buffalo can't win in Athens and guess where this year's game is? Athens. Enough said.

yep, it's 2020, so Ohio wins 3 - 2.

The 1 pt safety has only occurred three times in NCAA DI football since 1971

Right the last one occurred at the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/22/nfl-may-... /

Prediction 1: Game is going to be sloppy defensively. If anything has been learned watching Week One games, it's all about who's defense comes out with the best pursuit of the ball. Tackling will be ugly for sure, but the team that's in position to gang tackle the most will win.

Prediction 2: Building off of that, points are going to be scored by the truckload. If in Vegas, definitely take the over. Pretty confident here this will resemble a Big 12 game knowing how prolific our offense can be if the perimeter guys do their job.

Prediction 3: I will be intrigued by the injury/COVID list. As per usual, always keep tabs on how many starters are out. Team with most starters out typically lose in the MAC, don't have the depth to compensate a lost starter.

Prediction 4: Me thinks there will be a smidge of a QB battle at Ohio if the game turns south in a hurry. I think we will see the backup play and get a bunch of minutes.

Prediction 5: CMU isn't a joke this year and McElwain can coach. Me thinks they will have their fate decided against Toledo for the MAC West crown.

Prediction 6: We struggle with the MAC West, and I don't see that changing. What scares me is we don't have our QB back this year, which would for predictions 1 and 2 really be to our advantage. Final Score: CMU 42 Ohio 31

I think until about 1990 the rule was that when the defense possessed the ball on a try that the play was immediately dead. Then they gave the defense on a try a chance to score themselves. Since then a 1-point play is possible as they give a team 1 point for scoring a safety on the try. All of them have been scored by the "TRY" team when the defense does something like intercept the ball and give ground back into their own end zone trying to avoid a tackle while thinking that they can get two going the other way.

For a team to score one point in a game it would require an extraordinary set of circumstances. There was a game in 2017 where Louisiana Tech had a second and goal against Mississippi St. when their center snapped it over their QBs head. After a large number of players trying and failing to recover someone from Louisiana Tech finally fell on it for an 89 yard loss. For a team to have one point the most likely way would be for a similar play to happen where a team loses 97+ yards on a 2-point try. Then the team that scored the single point would have to not score any other points during the rest of the game. One team scoring a single point is substantially less likely than a 4-4 tie. Most fans have never thought about in but a 6-1 score is possible as is a score of anything eight or higher to one. 10-1 should be the most improbable football score that is possible other than games where one or both teams score an outrageous number of points.
