HERDNATION.COM Ohio expert gives his take and prediction on Saturday's Battle for the Bell
- Thread starter Chris McLaughlin
- Start date
I agree with his view except the final score. I take the Herd and three. Their 2 backs replaced 2 really good backs. The O line is solid as usual but is still in the maturity process which should give us an opportunity to create a few sacks and hurries. We can't allow Rourke to sit in the pocket and have time to throw. If we do he will hurt us. We also have to keep a spy on him because he will tuck it and run to a first down marker all day long. I think our OL will create some running lanes for Knox and in the end that will help us over the top against a talented MAC rival. I see IG having a bounce back game that should quell some of the concerns expressed on here by several. Finally, I really believe a loud crowd helps us in this game.Every team plays against loud noise but this will be their only game where the noise will come into play. I hope that it can mess with them some. Overall we need a win Saturday and we need to beat a team of this caliber to set the tone for the rest of the season. Go Herd!

Especially after saying that their only real advantage is special teams.A little surprised he picked Ohio.
They had a couple of the best KO returns against us that have occurred in a long time. What was up with the way we were kicking off? Short middle? Something up with the kicker?
I wondered the same thing. They made it past the 30 a few times.
You'd figure they'd catch on to just kick the damn thing out of the endzone.
