1. I will be as shocked as I was last week if Woods on is out, again. He gets the nod. If for some reason he does not, we are toast. If he is back, and the same chemistry with wide receivers is there that we saw against Buffalo, we can compete, but our D will be exhausted in the 4th.
2. We can compete if we get an early lead. The defense needs to come up with 1-2 picks for us to win. That will not be easy. Ohio probably does not need to throw a single pass to win, sadly.
3. My uncanny game plan: go high temp on offense and rotate players on D. With Sands out, let's stop pretending we can run. It's not like the first string has been able to crap down anyone's run game, so keep them fresh enough to bend but not break in Q4.
4. Since its a home game, if Gassed misses 1 FG, go back to O'Leary as a kicker.
5. It's time to pull out all of the stops. People were upset when we went for it on 4th and ram a pass route. I thought it was a good call, it just did not work. Ultimately, it did not cost us the game or kill momentum. This week, the team has to play with guys and be willing to take risks, including trick plays and going for it on 4th.
All this being said, I do not a single game has happened as I anticipated, apart from PSU, ISU, Troy, and Toledo. This game probably will not either.
