* As soon as @JoeEDangerously said he'd be irritated at people calling this the Don James Bowl, it became official.

I didn’t watch the game but reading about the run defense made me think Kent St was gashing the run D.

They ran for 147 yards on 39 rushes. 3.7 YPC

THE QB had 8 carries for 47 and the RBs gained exactly 100 on 31 carries for 3.2 YPC.

Stats obviously don’t tell the whole story but those are terrible especially considering last years team was giving up 4+ YPC.

They need to do a better job of spying on a running QB and making tackles. I wonder how many of those yards were after contact.

It seemed like a lot of the yards Kent State got on the ground were after contact.

Which can be spun into either a negative or a positive.

We will know more in 2 weeks

As a whole, it was OK. But they missed a lot of tackles in the back field and let the RB push the pile far long than the play should have gone. Many plays should have gone for 0 that went for 3-5 yards.

Penix is fucking legit
Bruh, I was calling for Eason to win the Heisman after EWU.
When did Eason throw for 500 yards at Ohio State?
I’m not saying he sucks. Don’t twist.

I just wanna see him throw 500 against Sparta

We don’t have Olave or Wilson but Ohio states offense last year TORCHED Sparty, hopefully we can have success in that regard.

I would agree with this. I don’t think the stats are telling. We tackled like shit and got pushed backwards after contact frequently. The YPC looks solid on paper, but the run D looked pretty weak. A more physical line with better backs will push our stool in.

Who was the HS kid who used to post here all the time and thought Morris was great?
Fudgie?
Yeah. Assume he doesn't post here anymore? With takes like that, I wouldn't either

I never thought Morris was good.

They ran for 1st down on 3rd &10 and 3rd &14 on the same drive.

Things I'm excited to see:

D-line look physically dominate

Safeties making hits on the ball carrier

Centre

A running back make a player miss

Odunze and McMillan
