Ohio Bobcats (Week 1)

[cusefan88]

4-0 nonconference record. No excuses.

Its friggin Ohio, Rutgers at home, Albany, and Liberty.

We should always be good enough to go 4-0 against that.

Idk. I'd be happy with 3-1. Liberty is Top 25 good and have a potential high-round NFL draft QB.

 

[qdawgg]

there’s either a false start or and delay of game on the first offensive series?

Fixed it…..

I remember when MD treated us like a pop Warner team but it was ok b/c they were going to compete for b10 title and play in the national championship game. They were that good, at least for the game against us.

 

[JeremyCuse]

What’s more predictable for this game, Dino lists both DeVito and Shrader as QB1 on the depth chart, or there’s either a false start or delay of game on the first offensive series?

The latter 100%, you can also had personal foul penalty or burning a timeout for no reason.

Wish I could be as confident as you but I just don't see it. SU hasn't had an undefeated OOC in decades and while I think this team should win against Ohio and definitely will against Albany I can't say the same against Liberty and unfortunately Rutgers. That Rutty game screams classic SU frustrating loss.

You really know how to hurt people.

How about the first timeout used comes after a media break because we don't have the right offensive personnel on the field?

Agreed, get 3 wins minimum in OOC and 3 more in conference

 

[Finwad32]

We come out playing good solid football, which I know this squad can, and it’ll be a good omen. MAC season opener on the road, let’s get it.

31-13.

I thought this was a lock last year and laughed at the over under win total. Vegas just makes me very nervous when the total is 3 wins.

I'm not upset given last year obviously and there's still much uncertainty about our roster. But I like the makeup of our team more than last year.

 

[SUskibum]

Yeah, me too

I try to hang my hat on the fact that Vegas (and most algos) makes money betting on short term mean reversions around a stable medium term trend which is the most common occurrence. What they (and algos) are terrible at is identifing inflection points in the trend (negative or positive).

Now that we fixed depth at OL and QB and also have both lines filled with 4+ year program players, I can’t envision less than 6 wins.

I think Dino finally fixed the roster balance (2 years late) and it will show up with a bowl season.

 

[JRHEETER]

Vegas always knows

there is 100% reason why the O/U is 3 wins.

makes me nervous

Rutgers and Liberty are going to be tough.

I could see us going 3-1 and I could equally see us going 1-3

Yeah but Vegas doesn't know about the Kumbaya meetings and they didn't look into the players hearts nor the coaches hearts so go over the 3 wins.

Except liberty will probably be ranked and may have the best qb we see all year. Rutgers is still a B10 team.

Yeah, we were supposed to be ranked two years ago too. Supposed to get Gameday!

No excuses! It’s Liberty. We owe them. Kick the snot out of them!

 

[qdawgg]

If we lose to Albany….

Yes.

 

[SURU]

If we lose to Albany….

Not happening under any circumstances

 

[kcsu]

3 and 1 or Dino truly has to walk his Ohana across some very hot coals the rest of the season.

 

[kcsu]

Do we take the ball if we win the coin toss or defer?

 

[TexanMark]

We should defer...Ohio will be overjacked in my estimation. New coach (think Scott Shafer) replacing a legend.

 

[TexanMark]

Ohio ran the pistol under Solich. If I was a late replacement coach...I'd probably keep it.

Well, with this crappy ooc schedule we’re gonna need Liberty to stay ranked if we have any hopes of making the playoff.

I like the pistol. It has its pluses or minuses just like any offense. It used to be my number one offense to want because I believed it gave you the down hill running attack that I like to see in the spread. I’ve learned through the years that you can still have your down hill run plays even when the back is off set.
