Ohio Gameday...

[IthacaMatt]

ACC is there for the taking.

We didn't look like a contender today.
Defense was poor, and Wax looks like he has an ankle sprain. I would not expect him to play against Georgia Tech. Our tackling technique was very poor.

 

[Qbobby]

So back to early on - how was that one helmet to helmet not targeting? Is there a rule change at play?

No rule change, MAC ref not wanting to put Ohio in a hole on the kickoff. If you went to the rule book and wanted to add a video of targeting, that would be the play. Lowered helmet, struck with the crown of the helmet above the shoulders. The review it and not call is is pathetic.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Robinson is not it

It's one game. Don't overreact.

I really don’t understand this image…..and I have a cat. Is it a Bobcat reference?

My wife said it best, we won but it feels like we lost.

My daughter just replied, "We won, but it feels like we were watching Syracuse Football."

 

[Orijinal]

He takes himself out of too many plays.

Re: Diggs
Absolutely

Once we get the defense straightened out.

Will be tough with Marlowe out.

 

[AAM62]

I also think the defense over rotated players and couldn’t catch a rhythm.

 

[Orangezoo]

Robinson is not it

Ok boss

 

[Finwad32]

He’s going to get some strip sacks by running the hoop. T’s are going to run him off when his ears are pinned back, but he’s got enough bend and speed to get to where he needs to.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Injuries: Wax & Weatherspoon are the obvious. Any others that you could spot?

Spoon was laughing and jogged off the field, according to the sideline reporter. So that's good news.

 

[Qbobby]

Will be tough with Marlowe out.

Hopefully it was just a sprain, and not a high ankle sprain. Taking him out and putting him in a boot is just smart and safe at that point. He wasn't going back in the game.

 

[Stevenson]

I’m about to get blitzed!

About to? Where have you been?

I saw 2 or 3 that weren't called. Two against McCord and that one against Allen on the sideline with the guy's shoulder to the head.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Yeah, ankle sprain. Could be 3-4 weeks, probably best case.

 

[tbonezone]

we beat ohio. mccord after a very shaky start figured out the D. and we got a lot of game tape to figure out who's exactly what. fran brown's gonna sit some boys down. 1-0 baby !

 

[IthacaMatt]

Will be tough with Marlowe out.

I think we've got linebackers. I'm concerned about the defensive line. We did not defend the run well at all.

 

[tbonezone]

absolutely sucks. but ankles do take some time.

 

[TheHaze315]

How did our offense play that well before year 2 week 3?

 

[Sudano]

O looked good after first series.
D needs work on run stopping, rushing the QB (too many times when no pressure on QB at all), and coverage which will suffer if no pressure. Basically all facets on D need to improve.

Losing Wax is going to hurt.

Getting Wax dinged will leave our D hurting.

 

[PhatOrange]

Tank got held

 

[djorange1989]

Even without Wax, we should be 3-1 at worst on the home stand. If we learn to tackle that is

Did someone confirm it was an ankle issue? They were looking higher up at his leg on sideline.

Fran said ankle or tibia.
