Idk what it is about the Bobcats offense but they had no finishing ability early. Love their response to end the game on a 22-0 run. Box score was heavily in favor of OU despite the halftime deficit. Run game was strong and defense stepped up in the second half. Excited to find out where they'll go bowling and looking forward to them battling for back-to-back 10-win seasons.

I kicked off the game with the very first, foreboding message.. "Hold me, I'm scared..." Luckily in the 2nd half they threw away the playbook and started mixing it up. Brought Bangura back into the mix after abandoning him entirely after the first drive, hilariously dominate drive, obviously that drove our success. In the only 4 drives he had any carries / more than 1 touch - we scored. I'll just say that I'm THRILLED we escaped with a win - but we did escape. Against the worst team in college football. Not exactly a game where I want to spend a single second thinking about, but I hope it's eating at the offensive staff. Unfortunately, I think they are like a lot of people on this board who showed up at 4PM with their "I thought we won" stuff. Thank God that giant lineman started dancing, bc that is what is leading every social media site and headline about the game and not the fact we were trailing an Akron team that won 7 games, the last 5 years, at half-time. Lets get ready for a bowl. Doubt it's Detroit. They wanna bury this team on TBS at Noon in Boise.

Never will turn my nose up at a MAC win on the road. Style points count for nothing but we should have covered the spread and much more. Ending the regular season 9-3, 6-2 in the MAC is objectively pretty good but our expectations have adjusted to Detroit, rightfully so. We just lost the wrong game. Imagine this defense paired with the 2022 offense and we could be 11-1 heading to Detroit for a battle of two ranked MAC teams. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

We are not Ohio State Albin has said several times that he wears the green and white Block O hat in honor of Bill Hess. That’s the hat Bill Hess wore for most of his career at OHIO. I, for one, appreciate very much that nice gesture and the understanding of our football history that it shows. I sit near some members of the Hess family at football games and I’m sure that means a lot to them, too. I actually have one of those Block O hats myself. Mine needs a little TLC to bring it back to wearability. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."
