Great game called all the way around, both "O" and "D". This team improved every week and got better and better, on both sides of the ball. It is way to easy to blame play calling when things are not going well. If you sit back and take a longer look at things, there are usually reasons why a team is limited to what plays you might have in the game plan. It might very well be injuries, it might be some young inexperienced players in key positions that must be considered, etc etc. I can only laugh when I read some of the posts on this board when people say some of the things that they come up with. It is so easy to blame play calling when you don't have access to practice tape, or injury reports, or tendencies of the opponents from scouting reports etc etc etc.
Ohio is fortunate to have a very solid coaching staff who are dedicated to our program and our kids who make up the program. Go Bobcats.

When the OL is opening holes, the OC can mix up plays and keep the defense on it's heels. When the OL can't make holes, the OC is going to look bad because nothing will work.

Agree about the Cinci game, Solich said as much.

Damn, you are an offensive guru! Did you spend all night thinking about this philosophy?

But, if the OL is being dominated, you get sacks and interceptions if you try to throw too much. When the OL is in control, its win-win, you can run, and you can pass. When the OL isn't, it's hard to run, and it's hard to pass. In between the two extremes is when the OC makes the biggest difference.

The only opinions that matter are those of coach Solich and those of the players. I have attended Bashes with players families and they seem to see Ohio's coaches as a real plus, a reason to be a Bobcat. After the bowl Ouellette and Crouch were vocal in support of their coaches. Coach Albin and many others on the staff have been at the P-5 level, have worked for more and decided to buy into what Ohio offers them and their families. At Ohio the staff works for the HC, the AD, Ohio's Administration, not one of those "bunches" of donors. There is more money elsewhere, but, at what cost? Ohio/Athens must be pretty great for a family, right?

Hats off to all the coaches. We finished the year on a roll. I wish we could get a piece of a P5 school right now but let's knock off Pitt in 2019.

2 plays cost us 2 wins. One against our rival and one against an in state school we should have finished off. Not something I will soon forget but the late season run was as good as I can remember in my Bobcat life.

Going to miss seeing many of these men lineup for our Cats as they move on and graduate. I wish them all the best. True football players that make me proud to be a Bobcat. F the P5 circus.

Great post. I'm with you.

A nice way to recognize Coach Albin. He deserves it and he has elevated our running backs. Glad he has stayed here with Frank.

Met some of his family in Frisco. Very nice people.
