GP1 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 First off, OU vs Sunbelt member Georgia Southern. I don't think winning or losing is critical in bowl season, but this should be a fun game. An annual regular season Sun Belt vs MAC would be a great event. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRulz Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 GSU was 'only' a 6-win team this year. I tuned into the OU audio briefly and their announcers were whining about the shoddy bowl matchup selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 OU also had their top 2 QBs unavailable, I believe top 2 RBs and one of their top 2 WRs, and Keye Thompson while Ga Southern had everyone. Good win for them IMO. Navarro basically had zero stats this year before today's game, same as their RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Early take away from yesterday. The quality of players in the MAC match up with other G5 conferences. If the MAC had adult leadership, they could eliminate the appearance of sucking. Fans get into stupid arguments about what "the worst" conference is. Nobody really knows because there isn't a meaningful way of measuring it other than insignificant exhibitions like bowl games. The MAC is a quality conference. Akron needs to become a quality team in a quality conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU beat them up and down the field. Expand GA Southern’s biggest issue all year has been turnovers. 5 is certainly on the high end. I thought Ohio was assisted more by GA Southern’s mistakes as opposed to what they actually caused. The QB alone had 16 interceptions going into the game. Gifting the ball to defenses is nothing new to him. Seemed to me Ohio should have won by more considering the turnovers. In any case, they have more depth on the OL and DL than most MAC programs. Their freshmen also stepped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
