Some good stuff in the Notes section of the game story on OhioBobcats.com. I've bolded a few.

http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/102310aad.html

Redshirt sophomore Travis Carrie (Antioch, Calif.) recorded his first career sack, tackling Miami quarterback Zac Dysert for a six-yard loss on the opening drive of the game. Carrie recorded his second career sack in the third quarter, forcing a fumble, also the first of his career.

Vince Davidson (Dayton, N.J.) put Ohio on the scoreboard with a 56-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The carry represents Davidson's longest career run from scrimmage and his fourth touchdown of the season. Davidson set a new career-high for rushing yards in a game with 103 yards, marking his first career 100-yard game.

Matt Weller's (Twinsburg, Ohio) now stands at 58 career made PATs (sixth all time) and 65 career PAT attempts (seventh all time). He has 28 career field goals made (T-second all-time) and 38 career field goal attempts (sixth all-time).

Hilton Dawson's (Compton, Calif.) second-quarter pick of Zac Dysert was the redshirt senior's first career interception.

Donte Harden (Erie, Pa.) recorded his first touchdown of the season and fifth of his career with a three-yard run in the second quarter. He added a second in the third quarter, matching this scoring effort of Oct. 17, 2009, when Harden also ran for a pair of touchdowns against Miami.

Riley Dunlop (Liberty Township, Ohio) set a new career mark with an acrobatic 39-yard catch on a pass from Boo Jackson in the third quarter. Dunlop tied his career mark with four receptions and fell just short of his career receiving yards in a game mark with 68.

Redshirt sophomore Omar Leftwich (Huntsville, Ala) tallied the first interception of his Bobcat career with a pick of Miami's Zac Dysert in the end zone during the fourth quarter. Leftwich picked off another Dysert pass in the fourth quarter.

Eric Benjamin (Grove City, Ohio) recorded his first career fumble recovery in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, a one-yard run to the end zone gave Boo Jackson (Gardena, Calif.) his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. Jackson has a total of 35 career touchdowns (six rushing, 29 passing) for which he is responsible, putting him sixth all-time in career touchdown responsibility. Jackson added another rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, moving him to 36 career touchdowns, five away from Sammy Shon (1978-81) who is fifth with 41.

Senior Steven Jackson (Austin, Texas) picked off his fifth career pass in the fourth, returning the interception for 12 yards.

Under head coach Frank Solich, Ohio has averaged 219.3 rushing yards against Miami (2005-157, 2006-304, 2007-81, 2008-326, 2009-226, 2010-222).

Ohio outgained its opponent on the ground for the fifth straight game. Ohio finished the contest with 222 yards rushing compared to 11 for the RedHawks. Ohio has rushed for 18 touchdowns this season, after combining for 18 total in the 2008 and 2009 seasons combined.

The win marks Ohio's seven straight road victory against Mid-American Conference teams, tying the program's longest road conference streak since 1959-61, when Ohio earned wins on the road against Marshall, Kent State, Western Michigan, Bowling Green, Toledo, Miami and Marshall.

Ohio's 13-7 halftime lead against Miami marked the 36th time the Bobcats have taken the lead into the locker room under coach Frank Solich. The win puts Ohio at 30-6 (.833) when leading at the break since the 2005 season.

The win is Ohio's fifth-straight victory over Miami, the longest streak since an identical run from 1960-1964.

Since the 1998 season, Ohio is 47-14 (.770) when reaching the 28-point mark. Ohio is 38-9 (.809) in that same time span when scoring at least 30 points.

Omar Leftwich (2), Steven Jackson and Hilton Dawson each intercepted passes against the RedHawks, marking the first time Ohio recorded four or more interceptions since the 2008 game against Northwestern.

Previous to Saturday's game, the last time Ohio scored five rushing touchdowns as a team was against Eastern Michigan in 2002.

Ohio's opponents are 7-for-14 on field goal attempts this season.

I looked up the Miami post game quotes. I took the liberty of bolding several.

Head Coach Michael Haywood
"The first thing I say to them is that I can feel the energy, but we suck."

On Nick Harwell's day, including his fumble at the goalline: "I think there's a lesson learned.  I'm going to give him a hug and tell him I love him.  But that sucked."

On moving forward to next week: "Here's an opportunity for us to learn how to have a positive psychological disposition. Here's an opportunity to build off the mistakes that we made. But chances are we will take the opportunity to suck."

On the mistakes: "Suck. Suckity suck suck suckensuck."

Zac Dysert
On today's game: "We know what we are capable of and today was just not our day. We sucked."

Nick Harwell
On his fumble at the goalline after an 82-yard catch-and-run:"I feel like I wasn't being a team player, I was pretty selfish and I wasn't thinking. I just go out and try to do my best every day,but it usually ends up that I just suck."

Jordan Gafford
On the pregame hype of today's game: "It was kind of a different setting than a lot of players were used to. We're kinda used to seeing just our families in the stands. Today there were a lot of people wearing green. I couldn't see Pop-Pop in row 32. That sucked."

D.J. Brown
On the defensive effort: "We need to definitely work on tackling in the open field, because we missed a lot of opportunities to get them down in the backfield. That will be a huge aspect of practice this week. Another thing we're going to work on in practice will be to finish knitting the team Kleenex-kozies. We need a lot of tissues. I know you all want me to say we suck. But I ain't gonna."

From we coulda/shoulda been down 14-0 4 minutes into it turning to a resounding victory is the main thing.  Below are minor points.

Big plays are back!  Donte Foster makes key grabs.  Boo drills the ball iin there--but needs to learn to just throw it away at points.  Vidcast had a replay of almost every play--good.  Our drive in the 3rd qtr from 10:30 to go to about 2:30 to go was sweet--points to give us distance on 'em and chewed clock.

Silly penalties on us, espec in 4th quarter.  Makes me nervous that we can't stop anyone on their first possession of the game.  The D's stand after we fumbled on redhawk's kickoff after their first td was game-turning.  O and D were good but punting and field goal efforts were subpar.

Today was a good win.  But we play some bad teams this year--stupd cow, EMU, BG, 'kron, Lou La, Beefs, are racking up some bad numbers.

How many OHIO fans in attendance?

Section 1 was about half filled (all Bobcat fans) and section 2 was about a 50/50 mix. I'm no master estimator but I would say between a 1000 and 1500 Bobcats.  The more surprising thing to me was the poor show for the home team on a homecoming. They just didn't come home.

Not just homecoming, and not just homecoming against their rival, but homecoming against their rival with their Coach paying people to attend. It must suck....

Can anyone name the last road conference game we lost?  (hint: it is the next road conference game we play)

That game was also on ESPN2.

Correct, of course.

Here's to evening up our record at the Linc to 1-1 in a couple weeks!

Ohio had Temple beat only to lose to them in overtime. Very dissapointing loss. Temple had a strong defensive line back then but not as disciplined.

The win is Ohio's fifth-straight victory over Miami, the longest streak since an identical run from 1960-1964.



Frank moves to 37-34 (.521) overall at Ohio and 33-27 (.550) over the last 5 seasons. He needs 5 more victories to tie for all time #3 on the win list behind Don Peden and Bill Hess. The longest winning streak ever against Miami is 6 wins (1937-1942) and it looks like we are pulling further away from the Redhawks in talent each year. When the streak started in 2006 Ohio played an excellent game up in Oxford to get that win. This year I Ohio brought pretty much its C game outside of the great INT's to Oxford and got the job done. The cats started off slow but rallied to a dominating win.

Is anyone sure this trophy series is still going? I haven't seen any reference to it in the last 3 or 4 years.

It's still detailed in the "Traditions" section on Fiami's site.  It's missing from ours but to be fair it doesn't go into any rivalry information.

Additionally, Follett's in Oxford was selling Battle of the Brick's t-shirts if that adds any validity...
