You're missing a heck of a run to a MACC.

There's no other competition. They will crush Ohio. But hey I've been wrong so far, so yeah book it, Ohio will win the MACC.

But....the buffs had 378 yds rushing tonight we'd better spy the qb. Take em one at a time.

Very true! If Ohio can beat a #20 ranked team w/ a redshirt freshman QB that's a real accomplishment. Back to Top L.C.

I have believed that this can be a great Ohio team. They have looked great at times, and not so great at other times, but they continue to improve, and it's not time to stop getting better. They need to improve all the way to the end of the season.

I shudder to think what would happen if he got hurt.

The Bobcats will have to bring the game that we saw tonight in Toledo to get a win, and we will have to do it with only one QB who has any game experience. Windham gave us a lift tonight and will be missed as we prepare for the Buffs. Back to Top L.C.

That some of us doubt, however, is a very reasonable reaction to the way that the last four years have gone. If we continue playing as we did tonight, we can have a very fine year. That said, this year, as in the past 3.5 years, there were Texas State, EMU and too close wins over Miami and BG. So, we'll see. See my more complete thoughts...good and bad...elsewhere.

We gave up 450 passing yards. This was that character win that we needed. We needed to close a good team out and we did. The best thing was the aggressive coaching, finally the relentless belief. I loved Frank's comments at the end, we need to clean it up. Way to go cats. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

You see, my acknowl that tonight was a good win is me recognizing the evident facts no matter my personal beliefs. What saddens me is that you've been unable to do that in very large part for the last 2 or 3 years. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

Can this team make it to Detroit and have a chance at a MAC title? Absolutely. Could this team lose to Buffalo and Akron? Absolutely. You said it yourself, it's why you play the games. I gave Buffalo no shot against Akron last night and it was a blowout for Buffalo. We are not consistent enough quarter to quarter, let alone week to week, to assume we're ending up in Detroit with this much football left to play. Am I excited? Am I cautiously optimistic? Yes on both. But I can't unsee the bad from this season and think we are going to coast to the MAC title game.

At times I was wondering where the reverse came from and Toledo got thrown off heavily by it. They were utilizing plays to open up those draw plays they usually run (aka-hey diddle diddle, ______ up the middle). That's what's been lacking from the offense and was really nice to see for the Bobcats. That said, running options to the short side of the field is asking for it. That's how you get a qb rocked during a game with the pursuit angle being so small. Snapping also was a small problem last night, but get those corrected we hang 50 on UT. On defense, our secondary leaving gaps consistently where our safeties bit on play action time and time again did us no favors, especially on that 98 yard touchdown play. So yes, small things that can be corrected for, but was pleased to see Maxwell hitting on some long balls. It's one of those things that the freshman is going to learn how to put the ball on the money at some point, just needs that game experience.

But win means nothing if you fall flat at home vs. UB or fail to close this out with a trip to Detroit. I think everyone on this board would agree a trip to Detroit would be a nice accomplishment...and most would likely not expect Ohio to beat WMU. Again, crazier things have happened...but even someone blackout drunk on the green kool-aid can't watch WMU and think Ohio is in the same ballpark. They steamrolled Ball last night and it looked like they were playing in cruise control. (and just a sidenote...WMU hasn't clinched a trip to Detroit quite yet. Toledo still has a chance to pick itself up off the mat and upset WMU on T'giving Friday to win the MAC West....just a possibility in the topsy-turvy MAC) Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 25  of 28 Posts Jump to Page:   1 | 2    Next > View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 341 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 339 Guests 2 Registered Users:   SBH, Cats5 There are no other users looking at this page.
