And looking at the rest of the MAC bowl lineup, the trend of us being the only team with bowl success may continue...

They're 5-1 in one-possession games while we're 2-4. They're better in the clutch. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Is Boise the best airport to fly into? It's looking like it's gonna be $600-$700 round trip. Does that sound about right? I was hoping for cheaper.

Those prices are lower then I was seeing from Newark. They were in the high $700's Plus,Boise is a perfect example of "you can't get there from here". Depending on the flight you get to layover in Denver or Chicago.

Nathan Rourke is a talented dual-threat quarterback who should be able to have success against Nevada's defense. Nevada coach Jay Norvell did a good job getting his team to seven wins, but the Wolf Pack are really banged up and limited on both sides of the ball. Frank Solich wins his third straight bowl game. Prediction: Ohio 28, Nevada 17 Back to Top Bobcat1996 General User Member Since: 1/2/2017 Post Count: 794 Status: Offline     RE: TATERN BOWL    Posted: 12/9/2019 1:58:55 PM  Nevada was 4-4 in conference play and got whipped by Oregon in non-league play to end up 7-5. I'm guessing they won all the games they were supposed to win except for the loss to in state rival UNLV. The Bobcats will need to play well and limit the turnovers if they are to win this game. It won't be easy. Nevada won their bowl game last season to finish 8-5.

If Nevada even brings a few thousand fans, they'll outnumber Ohio fans by 10x, and factoring in the distance this is effectively a true road game. Maybe that's a good thing given how this team performed at Peden this season. This could be a fun game if it's a shootout. Ohio's defense is awful and Nevada is only ranked a bit higher in total defense, so if either team struggles to move the ball they'll be in trouble fast.

Ohio's defense is awful and Nevada is only ranked a bit higher in total defense, so if either team struggles to move the ball they'll be in trouble fast. You know, the defense wasn't all that bad for most of the season. Not even counting BG and Akron, the defense held five other teams under 25 pts, but Ohio was only 3-2 in those games. The big problem with the defense was shutting down the opposition late in the game. Four of the six losses came when opponents scored on their last drive of the game. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Our defense scares the you-know-what out of me. I put no stock in the D's performance against Akron-that is literally the worst team in the FBS. If we're hanging our hats on the fact that we limited Akron to 3 points, well.....

On paper, Ohio is 6-6, but was only 11 combined points away from a 10-2 record as 4 of Ohio's 6 losses were by 2, 3, 3 and 3 points. In addition, the Pitt game was only decided by 10. Ohio's offense is head and shoulders better than Nevada's and its note even close, and that will be the difference in the game. The defenses and special teams are in the same ballpark between the two teams, but Nevada doesn't have anywhere near the offense to keep pace with Ohio. It's going to be another repeat performance for Ohio vs a Mountain West school in a bowl game again. Ohio will jump all over Nevada just like it did vs San Diego State last year. I'm not calling for another shutout, but when Ohio gets Nevada down by double digits early, they'll never recover and the Bobcats will cruise to an easy win.

Prediction: Ohio 28, Nevada 17 Ohio holding Nevada to 17 points would be shocking. Absolutely shocking. This isn't the defense from a year ago that you could see getting better as they drew towards season's end ... that eventually shut out San Diego St. This defense got the luxury of facing BG and Akron to end the year .... and BG went up and down the field with ease in the 1st quarter of that game. If Ohio wins ... I'm guessing it'll look more like 34-31 or something like that. I'd be very surprised if Ohio covered the touchdown. They've been pretty awful all year ATS.

Throw in the shootout over Kent that could've went the other way and the monsoon-induced win at Ball ... Ohio wasn't too far from 3-9.
