However, the injuries that piled up are another thing.  Too many key defensive players went down and Tettleton's injury is bothersome.  When he went out of the game for good, it didn't look like he was touched; plus they called it a calf injury.  Fortunately, Buffalo next week shouldn't be that tough, so maybe the replacements will have a chance to settle in.

I think with a thin defensive line, many teams are going to come running at us more and that will be a problem.  Do we see playing time from any of the freshman (Bennett, Crutcher, Buehner)?  This team has depth and talent from many of the freshman, like DB Larenzo Fisher who are ready to play at this level.  I would normally be very discouraged by losing two major pieces of our defense, but I'm positive we have more depth than past Ohio teams.  Octavius, Shaw, and Fisher are all capable of filling in nicely. Against Buffalo, I think it's very important to get Phil Bates more involved. He is a play-maker that keeps opposing defenses on their toes.  Need more Phil Bates!! There's going to be a lot of big ?'s with injuries going into the Buffalo game.  Hopefully, guys like Hughes, Tettleton, and Shaw were just dinged up a little and will be back next week.  The week 9 bye could not come sooner!  I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... ATHENS.

The D had nothing to do with Kent not being able to generate any O either I suppose. I don't think a lot of folks understand what Coach Solich has put together. This is a team with depth and a team that rallies around one another. Have a little faith... GoBobcats!!!!            Always have been and always will be... Ohio's First and Finest!
