Just wished his ball control decision making was a bit stronger vs UC & NIU.

This guy is a star in the MAC. Wish Albin would let him loose a little more.

Don't have feeling he'll disappear into a shell at the end of his career at Ohio like Tettleton did

Wish his decision making was better......Wish Albin would turn him loose? Ever think that he’s not yet ready to be turned loose? Against better defenses he has struggled, ball security and decision making is a progression, maybe there is a reason the young man has not been turned loose? He’s gotten better and better, but the proof will be against better teams, not bad teams.

I think we're having a communication gap in what "turning him loose"

I'd like to see him have more opportunity to throw the ball more.

Only 20, 23 & 12 attempts in MAC play. He's 41-55 in MAC play ... super efficient.

I know competition isn't the best ...

But you don't think had Ohio maybe went a little more pass heavy vs NIU it would've opened up run a little?

Albin gets stuck in his ways and rarely deviates from his stubbornness to run the ball, even when it's not working.

Some more roll outs ... options ... etc would be nice.

Rourke is a special weapon and sometimes it seems Albin keeps a governor on him.

Do not give Bshott all the credit, he's one of a growing number that can do nothing but complain about the offense. As I said a couple weeks ago, this may be the most prolific offense in school history and all people could do was throw dirt on that comment.

Starkly demonstrating that you have no clue.

+1

And today with a 52-14 win over a decent BSU team that only lost to Norte Dame 24-16 it’s still clear that Frank was satisfied with these early season losses and has made no adjustments in the offense or game strategy. It certinaly not plausible or even within the realm of possibitiy that this team might be jelling and putting things together on both sides of the ball. No reasonable person would ever come to that conclusion. No, it’s clear that we suck and that we have the most predictable coaching staff in all FBS football.

(Note: None of the above is meant to say that I wasn’t personally very disappointed in our UC and NIU losses. However, in my miind that’s now water over the dam.)

Go OHIO!

We can dedicate the first quarter to those calling for Albin to turn #12 loose. I guess Albin was trying to raise those horrible pass play percentage and pass play per game rankings. Sure glad he woke up and fell back on his seniors; 65, 63, 57, 83, 21 & 45. Why should anyone, who understands the makeup of this team, give a rip about pass play percentage or pass plays per game? [/QUOTE]Maybe because 65, 64, 57, 83, 21 & 45 couldn't get one-inch when it counted?

Hmmm ... maybe coming out throwing the ball early opened up spots to run vs. Ball? Never! Why would anyone think that!

Jeez ... you are amazing.

Why is it when I make a comment praising Rourke and saying that I'd like to see him get more opportunity with the ball in his hands when the game is on the line you turn into a anti-Albin rant and "Ohio sucks"

Go back and re read my original comment.

It was compliment on Rourke. I think he's our best weapon and I'd like to see the ball in his hands more. Didn't say one word about run v pass! You guys turned it into that.

I know you miss Monroe and I'm the closest thing to upset you like he did.

But you're just looking to argue.

Last night, any moron could see that Ball could NOT stop the run. So it's obvious ... keep running.

But against NIU when Ohio could not run ... they kept running same plays that did not work. No adjustment. Would have been nice to give Rourke some rope there earlier in 4th quarter and see if he could make it happen.

Every game is different. Not same stuff works. Ohio is not very good at adapting to that sometimes. NIU & UC are two examples.

But let me stop you there before you type it.

[QUOTE=bcat2] You choose to carry around that baggage. Sorry they couldn't give you what you demand. I choose to say we have scoreboard on BG x 3, Kent x 5 & Ball x 2.

bshot44: I actually agree with your general premise about Rourke. I think where we differ is that I think we have made great strides so far this season and that we are seeing great improvements in recent games. Admittedly BG was not much of a test but Ball State is a decent team. I watched much of their game against Notre Dame and the Irish OL was not opening up the kinds of holes that we were last night. Some of those hole were big enough and open long enough that Casper, Colorado or I could have run through them.
