Not a good B1G team, but even so an impressive victory. Then Kent and Northern play two top ten teams very tough. This does not leave me very confident about the upcoming game against Kent and other games down the schedule. I'm happy for the win, but I'm beginning to think that Monroe might be right about how this season will end. I'm hoping though that I'll see great improvement next, especially in our very porous defense. I still can't believe all the hype in the preseason by some posters on here about how much improvement our new DC with his great schemes were going to provide. Really haven't seen it any of our games. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

That's what happens when I'm trying to post on BA and watch a football game at the same time. I get lost and don't know where I am.

There are no sure wins on our schedule with a defense that can't stop anything. Even Akron will score on us. MAC has some schools that play some defense. Ohio will be looking a new defensive staff and Perhaps head coach soon. Ohio isn't near top of the MAC. There is no bowl talk or Winning season with this team. They may win a game or two or maybee not. 2-6 in MAC will be the ceiling with this team. 2-10, 3-9 or 4-8 will be our record. I would be shocked if we win more than 2. That might be a stretch. Akron and maybee BGSU...that is it. BGSU defense just as terrible as Ohio. Akron might not score enough points to match Roark. Any team with decent QB is gonna beat us. We have no pass rush.

Kent St was down 26-13 at the half and was never a true threat to win. NIU is 1-3 and has to play 3 MAC West teams before they do us. Ohio's defense has given up so many points that its likely to revert back to the conference mean. Kent St is 118th against the pass and only 112th in passing yards which gives me some hope for next week. Kent also lost 33-3 against Oklahoma which dropped a game to an unranked Kansas St team this week who lost to Tulane the week before. I don't know if we can say Ohio can or cannot win enough MAC games to contend or make a bowl at this point. Ohio could beat Kent next week and still have it not be enough in the East if they go 6-2 and Ohio finishes 5-3. From what I understand Ohio has a lot of 5th and 6th year players on the roster which could make a difference for this season.

Ohio and Buffalo both played Top 20 ranked FCS programs. The difference is Ohio won their game and Buffalo didn't. Because of their offense Fordham is probably a better team than what Holy Cross is. WMU was steamrolled by San Jose St. BG and Akron are still weak. Ball St is Ball St. Ohio is right now 17th in the country in passing yards and could put enough points up to win MAC games. I don't think that 2-6 is the ceiling by any stretch. The team is showing grit by coming back to win against FAU and Fordham.

Showing grit? Against FAU and Fordham? In the same sentence?

IMO, Akron holds a great QB in D.J Irons but the line cannot protect him. They gave up 6 sacks to an FCS opponent St. Francis, and haven't shown me anything that says they would beat us. But, we shouldn't underestimate going in.
