Kent is pretty bad, but not technically a bye for Ohio.

Love that pic of an almost full home side at Yager!

If you like that one, you’ll like this one of the last Miami drive before the deciding field goal

If I had my way, I’d design the stadium seating to look like one giant seat. Even if it was benches or the like that made it up. Then, no matter how many people attended you’d always be able to say “we filled every seat in the stadium!”

Honestly, the student side is much better. Everything is covered, easier to walk up and down the stands, and no Sherpa required for climbing those stairs like on the home side

Impressive win yesterday. First time in years it looks like we have excellent offense, defense, and special teams. I can’t say enough about how good the S/T’s have been. Keep it rolling!

What i liked about our passing game was it wasn’t a giant batch of fly patterns with throw it up and hope it works which is what it seems like sometimes. Brent was 15 for 18 with mostly short and midrange passes. Short passes that weren’t all outlets to backs as outlets to the flats. Fun to watch and impressive display.

It’s obvious we don’t have as much ability to stretch the field without Gage in the game. It was nice to see adjustments yesterday.

According to ESPN’s College Football Power Index, we lead the nation in Special Team efficiency.

FPI also has us at #31 in strength of record. Behind only James Madison (16), Wyoming (18), and Air Force (30) among G5 teams.

No votes in the coaches poll this week. Ohio got two, presumably both from Tim Albin.

Offense is 58 and defense is 39 in efficiency as well, both very solid numbers. Our “strength of resume” is 31st overall, 4th among G5 programs and top in the MAC.

Our #1 ST rank to the credit of Martin, new ST Coach Bronkowski, and the individual players, they’ve been on point this whole season. Having Nicholson near-automatic from 50 in (with range to definitely go farther) is an elite weapon for us.

Unfortunately, theres not much keeping fans down, around the immediate area of the stadium…

This is from USAToday on how bad BG’s game was;

The hounds made their way to Oxford, Ohio this week, where the Bowling Green Falcons took on the Miami RedHawks. In previous years, #MACtion provided thrills with high-scoring, defensively deficient teams who entertained hundreds in the stands and provided entertainment for thousands more when there was nothing else to watch on television during a weeknight.

But Bowling Green failed to provide any sense of enjoyment Saturday as it had just 135 total yards, possessed the ball for only 20:31, and crossed midfield a grand total of one time in a 27-0 loss.

It was Miami’s first shutout victory in 16 years. But the pups still want hugs from the Bowling Green faithful as they were the only FBS team that did not score a point this week.

So that eliminates CBS Sports Network, since the open slot that day was for Noon.
