Granted the slip up against Miami this team could have easily beaten UVA and Cincy and been a 10-11 win team but for a handful of defensive lapses. We literally had 5-6 of the best Ohio players ever at their positions this season. 1.Nathan 2.AJ 3.Maleek 4.Papi 5.The Joe's 6.Javon Back to Top allen General User Member Since: 1/24/2006 Post Count: 4,635 Status: Offline     RE: Was this years team a Top 3 Ohio Football Team of All Time..    Posted: 12/25/2018 1:18:16 PM  It was a great team, I home that we will see the next iteration in the next few years. I think that Buckner and drake will be electric, I think that we have recruited some very good linebackers, tail back wise that may be as good as it gets. 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 Back to Top L.C.

The 2018 is the second best team , I think. The 2012 team was my pick for third best. The 2018 team is my personal FAVORITE team of all time. Great kids gave great effort, stayed out of major trouble and made us all proud of Ohio football. PS Pretty lucky injury wise too.

The first half of the season team was average at best, so nope, definitely nowhere near top 3. Second half team was definitely top 3, maybe the best since the ‘68 team. Had that team played that way the entire season, Ohio would have been competing for the G5 spot in the NY6 bowl.

As for the other teams the Bobcats played, I don't think so. This Ohio team was just as good or better than all the others.

How could one even come close to concluding that OU could have easily beaten Virginia? We started out that game very poorly and forgot how to tackle and cover. That was definitely a winnable game. They did not manhandle us, they didn’t push us around, we started off horribly, the Howard game was too close and we did not make the neccesary adjustment to refocus our efforts.

Reaching the MAC title game matters the most. If Ohio wins a MAC title game, then that would move it to the top in the modern era. Its hard to win a MAC title as the conference is very good at the top with several strong programs. A little luck helps too, but Ohio has put it self in position to contend year after year.

I watched the game AND the all 22 film. Ohio could have easily won that game minus 3 Explosive plays from UVA. UVA gave Ohio much respect for hanging in their and responding to what could have been an onslaught of TDs.

UVA gave Ohio much respect for hanging in their and responding to what could have been an onslaught of TDs. This is why I broke Ohio's season into 2 parts, the 1st half and the 2nd half. That same Ohio team that "could have easily" beaten Virginia was the very same team that barely got by a 4-6 FCS team that lost to Kent State by 40 points a week later. Virginia was better than 1st half Ohio.

Loss of talent on the D line and losing two ALL MAC Linebackers was a lot to overcome also.

Extra month practice and bowl experience bode well for next year. Some lament OLine and RB losses...but fret not...the cupboard is not bare.

UVA gave Ohio much respect for hanging in their and responding to what could have been an onslaught of TDs. We are now reaching a point of absurdity where we are taking away touchdowns from the opposition in order to make a case for easy wins.

Blitz- After Ohio got down 35-7 to UVA in the first half they played much better, but could not quite cut the deficit to under ten in the last half. That is the reason I thought the Cavs were better that day. The defense for the Bobcats improved drastically between the second game and the end of the season. The other games Ohio lost, they were in it and or leading until late in the 4th quarter and the games could have gone either way.

But among the top 3 Ohio teams? I'm thinking few if any of us were around to watch the 10-0 1960 Cats. And on the way to compiling a .711 winning pct, Don Peden's teams went undefeated three times. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 20  of 20 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 183 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 176 Guests 7 Registered Users:   shabamon, Deciduous Forest Cat, spongeBOB CATpants, Ryan Carey, Turney13, Scott Woods, OhioCatFan There are no other users looking at this page.
