Totally agree! But Ohio only has itself to blame. The East Division was theirs for the taking and they didn’t take it.

Kati Nelson does not look like a pro bowler this week


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

We sure needed this Nelson quarterback last week, and KSU needed this freshman quarterback the whole game. We beat ourselves, and KSU beat themselves at the end of the 1st half. Oh well.. Come on BOBCATS, let's play for this 10-3 record

It's even more disgusting based on the fact that it's Akron. I give them total credit because they are a program that appears to barely exist on their campus and based on attendance and interest level in their community. Yet thanks to failure to execute they will travel to Detroit with their 2,000 faithful.

Go to Detroit, be crushed by Toledo, and further cement the Eastern Division's inferiority. You're welcome Toledo, our gift to you after your unpleasant night in Athens.

It sucks because it's obvious Ohio was the best team in the East and one bad game ruined it. Certainly Ohio's defense had some to do with it, but Nelson simply performed better in the Ohio game than either of his other two games. Against Ohio, his throws were on the mark and his reads were good (at least in the first half, which was enough).

Either of two bad games ruined it: if we'd beaten CMU, then a win over buffalo would put us in the title game (at 7-1), rather than losing on tiebreakers to Akron (at 6-2, based on the head-to-head result)

Nelson's accuracy during the first half against Ohio was downright uncanny. In the second half it looked much like it did against Kent.

Nelson's first half accuracy and Ohio's first half defensive lapses notwithstanding, to me is very conceivable that Ohio would have prevailed had it not been for Coach Solich's ultra-conservative decision to go for a FG at 4th and two feet from the Akron goal line AND the unfathomably abysmal 4 play calls during Ohio's late 4th-qtr possession.

Very surprised that Nelson wasn't put into concussion protocol after the body slam. He had already taken a big hit to the head earlier. Wasn't nearly the same player afterwards.

yeah, but it's the MAC. you never know. last time they went, they were huge underdogs to NIU and somehow managed to win. Miami and Buffalo have also managed to make it to Detroit and win as huge underdogs. it's one game - anything can happen.

...

Except when Ohio is there, and it's a foregone conclusion.

Chill everybody.

The losses to CMU and Akron are part of a conspiracy to win the MACC on the 50th Anniversary!!!

The CMU loss was worse to me than Akron loss.

The sad part is that if a few things happen, this team is 10-1 right now and looking great for the remainder.

Here is to hoping next year is the year for Frank.

Sickening is right. Leaves me with little to no hope. This one is going to sting for a while. Winning out and going 10-3 with two convincing wins would really help.


What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

That too. And again, it wasn't a great performance by Ohio, but a fluky play (a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown) resulted in a 10-point swing.

I'm sorry. Whatever you think of Solich and that call, (kicking instead of going for it) that didn't lose the game. We had countless plays in the second half that easily could have overcome that supposed lapse. (even for those of you that believe it was a lapse) Marty Shotenheimer once said "Play calling is overrated" He was run out of Cleveland over that statement, but truer words were never spoken. Good teams don't rely on play calls to win or blame them when they lose. They execute for the whole game and guess what? They emerge victorious.

A different take...My coach - deceased, won more than 75% of his games and was inducted into the National Football Foundation's Hall of Fame - believed that a single play could decide not only a game but influence ensuing games. In reflecting on certain games over the years, I tend to think he was right.

+1

So very true

I’m also not sure what we are basing that Akron was not the better team, on that night they were the better team, and their body of work in the MAC showed them being the better team by virtue of winning the MAC East.

I️ bet your coach also advocated making those plays happen. What Sean is saying is that OHIO had chances to make the play that would have changed the game and the season, but failed to do so.
