Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 No threads yet so I figured I’d get it started. I think this game is a toss-up. Dustin Crum is great but the Golden Flashes are a largely unproven team. They’ve had a brutal non-conference schedule (Texas A&M, Iowa, Maryland) and opened up MAC play with a close win over Bowling Green. I’m going to go out on the ledge and pick a close UB victory tomorrow night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabulls Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Im weary that we are going to run too much, Kent I believe is second in FBS in interceptions. We can’t worry about that, have to pass more often 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the matchup predictor UB is favored 57%-43%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabulls Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Crum hasn’t looked all that great this season. We really got to get after him in the pocket and make him beat us, even though our secondary is not all that great. I believe he only had one pass against BG that was thrown over ten yards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ohio looked very bad until they beat Akron and BGSU looked great beating Minny. BGSU was -14 AT HOME vs Akron and the Zips just won 35-20. So anything can happen in the East and today's game is huge. Hopefully the OLine shifts, like Klink back to his old RG spot, will balance the line better. And we have to start seeing something..anything, from the TE's and young receivers.

zigo230 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 That TD run by Crum was ridiculous. Patterson had him and whiffs and #1 got trucked. Kind of embarrassing for the D there. The O needs to show up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 And of course Vantrease throws 2 perfect passes and both dropped. Pfft. got bailed out by a personal foul penalty on Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've targeted Gassett several times, and completed an important 4th down play. That effort alone doesn't show up on the scoreboard though.

UBminicre Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think it’s clear that we are extremely mediocre at this point. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBlearns Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I don't know Vegas came up with this line. You knew there's no way UB would keep up with Kent's offense. This is embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The team has steadily been getting worse. and the DBs and WRs stink. Not sure what gets this turned around. There’s zero explosiveness in this offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBminicre Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Agreed off is terrible. Def can’t really hold - they are on the field all game. Will be a disappointing and tough year ahead.

markchicago Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I understand, BUT... We were clearly behind with Coach and staff coming in May and losing some key players. But with coaches with lots of experience, why can’t we have some creativity. Our play calling is so predictable. We must do something to make it enjoyable to go and/ or watch games go Bulls Edited October 10, 2021 by markchicago Too quick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 We must embrace the suck. That’s about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Kent State has some athletes. (code for speed). We don’t seem to have many burners or creativity to make up for it. Maybe Coach will do some recruiting and shore things up this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBminicre Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) We are an embarrassment. Can’t even watch. I think coach thinks he is in the nfl… 50 yd fgs when we are down by 14 points down, running up the gut over and over. It’s odd to say the least.

markchicago Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Did I speak too soon.... kudos to the coaches and players for stepping up.... but must improve pass coverage ....too much separation and have to look at the ball lets Have a great 4th quarter go Bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Color me surprised. coming back from 31-10 basically just running the ball. Can’t stop their WR but at least UB showed heart making this a game. It’s kinda like the ODU game in reverse. Missing the 24 yard FG hurt momentum quite a bit. Still some time.
