OFFICIAL PICK THE SCORE THREAD Marshall vs OHIO

This game scares me for some reason seems like our team always goes into Pedan stadium flat. Make no mistake Ohio is a good team with an awesome coach who has these guys prepared. I'm optimistic and hoping with the leadership I've heard about with Birdsong we will be ready both on offense and defense. MU pulls away in the fourth from an otherwise tight game. 44-31
 
I think the Purdue game helped us out alot...

Both lines played some very skilled and large linemen in that game...most likely some of the best they'll see all season, it also showed we won't panic under pressure either.
I think Heater will adjust the defense to not allow small openings for quick passes.
Our offense will look to see the mismatches between our WR's and their CB's.

Marshall 42
ohio 17
 
OU's line always plays tough, and dirty. This one scares me.

MU 28
OU 27
 
I think we have too many threats for them to truly compete. I think Rock will have a great game. I think he's frustrated with how he played this past week and will be more determined than he seemed on his touchdown run. I also think we will pick on their corner "Bass" just as much, if not more than we did last year.

I'm calling for 48-21

PS. If I have to hear "And that's another citizens bank first down" HALF as much as I heard it when we went up and got beat 44-7, i'll go insane! I still have nightmares about that!
 
I will call it 42-21. I did watch a good bit of the Idaho game, Idaho actually threw the ball all over the place on them. We limit turnovers and I don't think we will have any issues. Make no mistake, Ohio is a solid team, just not quite as athletic and talented as us. Key will be the same as last year, apply pressure to Vick and limit the run, and just do what we do on offense. Doc no longer is a rookie coach, I don't thing that is too Ohio's advantage anymore either.
 
Athens has always been a tough place for The Herd , will go with 31-27 and hope I am low on our end of the score. Just think with it being in a MAC teams back yard..well you guys know what I mean.
 
We always play below our game up there. They always play above their heads at home. With that being said MU 30 - 20.
