Reasons to get EXCITED! ALL CAPS! QB Tyler Tettleton is back. And hes good. So theres that. The star tailback with 1,600 yards and 15 TDs returns as well. Back to back to bowl wins, and the entire backfield coming back. And with Frank Solich at the helm, get ready for some MACtion. Things will probably get worse though. The 7-0 start degenerated into a 1-4 finish and the Ohio Bobcats look like a team that peaked. Especially with all that talent and inexperience at both lines.
Reasons to get worried They do run the ball very very well. However, other than rushing, what exactly does this team do well? They really only have returning starter in both the linebacking corps and the secondary. Zero up front. They have some other guys who have played a lot in the defensive backfield coming back, but they probably wont start. And Ohio U. is ranked dead last in the MAC in recruiting. Lots of question marks. But hey, the other teams in conference are much much worse.
Key games: August 31st vs Louisville Cardinals. (good luck with that!), Sept 7th vs North Texas begins the stretch of every game being then winnable. Well, you would think.
