I believe Texas State announced yesterday they are also going to the Mountain West.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Didn't realize the Ohio/Kent matchup went back to 1897.

No truer words have been spoken. Preach.

Talented WRs/TE and a QB that hit guys in motion when he has time. We don't know enough about the running game yet IMO.

The real issue is coaching. Good coaches adjust their game plans to the strengths of their personnel. JoeMo is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and his lack of adjustments is astonishing.

BS.

It's a RPO scheme that takes way too long to develop behind an offensive line that doesn't provide the necessary time very often. Nobody fears Finley's legs, and they play calls require him to make some of the toughest throws (mainly out routes). There is hardly any WR separation, and we aren't scheming to get the ball into the hands of our playmakers in motion so they can beat defenders. It's an atrocious offense to watch.

Dropping down a division isn't an option. The University will fold athletically. JoeMo has every resource he needs to be successful - more than many schools, actually. Tremendous stadium, good location (NEO is a hot bed for talent), etc. Tibesar has the same resources, and his defense seems to be fine. Special teams might be some of the best in the country, at least for G5. It's simply the offense that absolutely sucks and that's solely on JoeMo. His scheme/play calling/philosophy SUCKS, especially for an "offensive genius." He doesn't need additional resources to fix that. He needs to get his head out of his Kent hole and rediscover the Fordham/Penn State/Miss State/Oregon magic.

Also a phenomenal play call/design. Play action seam route. Chef's kiss on that one.

Saquon Barkley might be the greatest running back of all time.

The line has really moved on this game in favor of Akron. Almost a must win for Joe Mo IMO.

This would be news to me. The most recent media contract is under $1M per school. It's the 3rd largest G5 media deal, behind the American and MW.

If the MAC has any sense of dignity and self respect, they'd kick all of Toledo's and NIU's athletics out of the MAC. Problem is, Steinbrecher is beholden to an image that appeals to certain groups of people, and I'm not sure he has the spine to do that.

The redshirt is head scratching.

Lots of moving pieces still until any of this is solidified. PAC12 is having trouble finding 2 more members to get to the 8 team minimum. I'm not even sure the MW teams that said they'll join are all the way out yet given the 8-team uncertainty and TV contract uncertainty. Of all the G5 conferences, the MW is sitting pretty with their ability to add NDSU, SDSU, Montana, and Montana State. Compare that crop of programs to what the CUSA/American/MAC/Sun Belt have to pick from - advantage MW. Important time for the MAC to be proactive. WKU, Liberty, Delaware, MTSU, Illinois State, etc. Start drumming up interest and planting your flag as a premier G5 conferences, instead of a fringe conference CUSA.

"Football only" Even the Mountain West knows Toledo can't win in March.

According to Ross Dellinger, the collective never agreed to the $100k. In fact, the collective's first contact with the agent was in August. Any alleged promise by the assistant coach was never in writing, nor was anything signed. Whether or not you believe UNLV's claim that the QB asked for more money as they were working on getting him $3k per month, the QB and his agent are Kent-level dumbasses for not having anything signed.

The brighter side is we've correctly verbalized our decision every single time so far to prevent giving the opponent the ball to start both halves.

What's the O/U on timeouts used before the 2nd quarter?

Edit: Read some tweets that are reporting Sluka asked for more money for the mid season and since they aren't giving it to him, he's quitting. That's wrong. Toledo and NIU are kicking themselves even more for losing last week.

Every game you watch from here on out was paid for by the 3 unwatchable football games. Quite frankly, BG had a similar pay day stretch with Texas A&M & Penn State - they barely lost both games. NIU and Toledo each collected big pay days - they both won. Part of why it's unwatchable is our coaching staff doesn't have this program at the level it could be. Not necessarily blaming them for the previous administrative decisions that set this program back so far, but we're also in year 3 and look more FCS than FBS.
