Thoughts on Ohio

[redsfan5590]

Did anyone see their game against Idaho? Are they better than last year?

From watching yesterdays game: We are going to have to stop the running game. Granted Purdue is probably the biggest line we will face, but we have to stop Ohio on the ground. Limiting turnovers will be key, as with any game especially in the running game. You expect Birdsong will probably turn the ball over once or even twice during his first road game. If our backs get a case of the fumbles this game could be reminiscent of two years ago. This game worries me because it is 6 days after a very emotional and draining (physically and mentally) game. My totally unqualified opinion keys to victory: stopping the running game on D, effective running game on O.

Marshall 42- Ohio 35

Yes, I watched the Idaho game and yes OU is better and they have a terrific coach!!

At their place, should be a tough game. MU has better athletes for sure. Idaho, just not very good at all.

If we minimize mistakes and TO's, we should win and win by a couple of TD's, but we certainly have had our struggles there.

Birdsong does what Cato couldn't do. Wins in Athens.
