If you think you are not the better team, go for two. I wasn't able to watch the game, so I can't give the exact opinion on what I'd do. I can't imagine Marshall being that much better, however.  Back to Top rw120555 General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: South Bend, IN Post Count: 12 Status: Offline     RE: Well at least we made it a game    Posted: 9/25/2010 10:23:22 PM  I was surprised, but you are on the road, and Marshall seems to have outplayed you much of the game...I still would have kicked but it is not a terrible call, just one that didn't work.

With his reported recruiting and coaching abilities, shouldn't he have a winning record at Ohio? (He doesn't). I'm not impressed.

Still a poor performance but at least we were not manhandled like last year.

Wow. Maybe trying to get decent opponents to Peden isn't really worth the trouble. Bring on Eastern Illinois.

Should be fine? The season is 1/4 over. If you consider a 4-8/ 5-7 season fine then I guess we will be ok. The goal every year should be 7 wins at a minimum and a bowl game. I dont see us going 6-2 over the last 8 games. This was a must win.

If it wasn't for the D last year forcing all those turnovers we would have had another loosing season. Therefore like it or not we are in for another loosing season. It appears that we just cannot seem to have back to back winning seasons. This issue seems to lie in the O-Line and the QB positions.

Sir, unless you go totally sans LBs there will be that matchup. In the end it falls to the players to make plays, in this case Marshall did. Last year in the bowl Marshall was better, this year at home Marshall was only one point better than Ohio. Tough loss, preseason I thought Ohio would win, without LB and Keller this is how it goes. Without LB and Keller my expectations have been tempered. The players were in a position to win if they made the plays, they did not. Credit Marshall. "Do not pray for easy lives.

This year same teams but Ohio is without its top playmaker from each side of the ball. Given this and the home field I thought it was sufficient that it came down to the players had the chance to win if they made some plays.

We have those excuses every year. Why is that? No excuses. We go away against a bowl team from last year. One that was better than Ohio then, spot them our best players from each side of the ball and it still comes down to execution of a few plays. No excuses necessary, I am still a fan of this team. Sorry if you are disappointed. I am sure the athletes are too. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

Your point is well taken concerning the 2 injured players. My point remains about the QB & OL.......We have not seen the kind of improvement in these two areas for our offense to score points and win games on their own. Last year out record was more the result of the D forcing turnovers than the O scoring touchdowns. I think if the O-line doesn't do their job in giving the QB time to pass, without being under pressure, we will continue to struggle. A great O-line can make an average QB look good. A great O-line can make an average running back look good. I believe we have 2 above average QB's. I believe we have average running backs. So it really starts with the O-line, and ours need improvement. There is still time in the season to turn things around but that time is running out. In closing I would also like to make an observation that our team week in and week out needs to show more emotion and intensity.

He might even invite you to his meeting witht the players. They need to know how disappointed you are. I bet you could keep them from ever lining up wrong ever again. Just wondering, in your study were there any plays that went Ohio's way or was this a total lay down like you have portrayed the Toledo and Ohio State games? "Do not pray for easy lives.

They beat us like an elementary school team on that play. One of the oldest plays there is. It's a pick (defense) or rub (offense) Outside 2 receivers run slants while #3 runs flat. Receivers are instructed to run at the defenders because the tendency is to try to avoid the receiver to get to their man. Best way to defend it is to have a corner sit in the flat. Hell I don't care if we play man but we let the receivers off the line without hitting them. Defense without Keller is soft Back to Top John C. Wanamaker General User Member Since: 1/2/2005 Post Count: 1,103 Status: Offline     RE: Well at least we made it a game    Posted: 9/26/2010 7:36:58 PM  Last Edited: 9/26/2010 7:38:57 PM by John C. Wanamaker "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

I'm not impressed. He had a winning record entering the season, and is curently tied for 4th on the Ohio all time wins list.  He should be in sole posession of 3rd by the end of next season at the latest.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's up thee in winning percentage too. It's not like he came to a program with a winning tradition and promptly ran it into the ground.  It takes a little more then 6 years to undo 100 or so years of mediocre football.
