The best way to avoid not terrified about losing a game to a lowly ranked opponent is to not have them on the schedule. Can't lose to Kent if they aren't on the schedule. P4 can hide under its own strength of schedule, justified by the existence of highly touted players on the roster. If Ohio can throw 3 INT's against a P4 team and win does it stand to have a reasonable chance against the second worst rated team in the MAC? Nothing terrifying about taking a loss at Ohio State when the chance of a loss is 100%? The spread says Ohio has a 86% chance of a win against EMU.

Hard to believe this team is legit without a commanding win in Ypsi.

A few things:

1) We need to get our first road win of the season here. Playing on the road shouldn't become a mental block for us.

2) Eastern Michigan just isn't a good team at all. No reason to stumble against them.

3) Open up the playbook a little bit. Can we see both Bangura and Brune in the backfield at the same time?

4) Secondary, please play well here.

5) Andres Dewerk for Nose Tackle! (had to get that in)

Not gonna happen.

Although, I have to say Dewerk is the most impressive-looking football player on the Ohio sideline.

It was nice to get Odjugo back in the interior D-line.

EMU has some players on offense and will score quite a few points. They have terrible run defense, so we need to just run all over them and out score them in a shootout.

This is a must win game w/ Western & Mofo coming up. A loss here and I�m not even sure we finish above .500

Are we missing Ablin yet? Asking for our friend that used to post here a lot and is now AWOL.

The weight of playing on the road would be lifted off our shoulders with a win here. If EMU has such a poor Run D, then use Bangura, Brune and Navarro via scrambles and beat them down. It should be that simple.
