Everybody was so happy about the close game and Minnesota. It is time for us to expect more and play like it in big games. Every year we do the same thing play ok in the beginning, the fans do all the bowl game scenarios and we say we beat Marshall and they beat so and so and then we flutter.

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. Woody Hayes

You know what would really shake up the offense? More 3 yard passes.

We are nothing more than the 5th best team in the MAC. Toledo, WMU, CMU and BGSU are clearly a lot better than Ohio.

I'd put NIU in there somewhere and maybe not CMU. So we could be 6th.

If it wasn't for the MAC splitting into divisions Ohio wouldn't have won as many games over the last 10 years. 1997 is the first year of East/West divisions and the winning percentage immediately shot up. Ohio was 60-155 in the 20 years before divisions (1977-1996) and since 1997 is 113-112 on some very weak schedules.

I looked into the division thing. Here are Ohio's 1995 and 1996 schedules, I don't see anything really different from those and today's schedules. Except maybe '96 was a little tougher out of conference.

Maybe the post about divisions was sarcastic. Over that span it's pretty clear that Ohio won under Grobe and Solich, and didn't win under Knorr. So coaching seems like much more of a root cause than divisions.
