Don't let Finn get outside the pocket. MLB has to have a heck of game spying Finn on some downs while asked to play zone in others. Offense needs long drives to keep Finn off the field. Go CATS!

Yep, but I would also take note of Finn in the passing game. I'm more concerned about when he throws it. Our Pass D gives up big plays at the worst times.

I'd think we'll still be a 4 or 5 point favorite here but right now would be a very small underdog at WMU.

I'm not sure WMU has much left in the tank after that tough loss to Miami. I've watched it happen plenty of years where an upstart shakes the race up only to fold at first adversity. One could say Bowling Green met that fate already this season.

At this point in the season plenty of game film available to dissect. Ohio with more versatility on offense is a problem and gives it a legit shot in any game. It will be interesting to see what Brian Smith can dial up.

Night game at home on ESPN2 vs your rival? If you can't get jacked up for this you better check your pulse.

Miami is tough, Finn is as good and as tested as any QB in the league. He has also beaten OU in some big games, so he'll be extra confident.

I hope they have a black out or some sort of extra motivation to fill the stadium, but like I said... if you can't get your ass in gear for THIS game...? Hoping for a BIG student turnout. Extra rowdy on a cold night in November. LETS GO.

Does anyone have one of those sources that projects lines before the casinos release them? I want to put this in for a pick em game among friends but I typically release the schedule on Tuesday morning. Agree that somewhere around Ohio -4 will be it....but I don't want to whiff big time on it.

Like VICTORY mentioned we have the home field advantage and more than likely be favored. EST point spread 4-6pts.

Plenty motivation for both teams going into this game other than just typical rivalry motivation. First Place in MAC on the line, OU has lost 2 straight regular season games to Miami, Miami lost last years MAC Championship game to Ohio

It should hopefully be a good one and hoping the Cats come out ready to go

This kinda shows where the networks and the conference don't really know the culture of the campuses. This game is a slam dunk full house if it's on the Saturday of the Halloween Party. Oh well. If the Athletic Department really wants it full, they've going plenty of ammo to promote it. Spoiler alert - they won't do a whole helluvalot to fill it.

Would be very surprised if multiple social media types who are all about visiting stadiums (cfbcampustour, GFed) are not at this game.
