Play of the day
The Bobcats went 9-4 (7-1, conference), with losses to UConn, Tennessee, Kent State and Central Michigan, that last one for the conference championship, holding the powerhouse Chippewas to just 20 points in a 20-10 defeat. Otherwise, they blew through the opposition with a balanced run-pass attack and a defense capable of stepping up, especially in the red zone. Marshall was 6-6, finishing in the middle of the conference. Losers of three of their last four, Marshall were last seen being stampeded at UTAP, 52-21.
The Bobcats’ offense is led by a solid quarterback in Theo Scott and he’ll have a deep wide receiver corps at his disposal to throw to. Marshall ranked 99th in the nation in passing yardage allowed, so they’ll be vulnerable to exploitation based on that fact alone.
The mood of these teams heading into the contest is reflected by the excitement of their fanbase about playing this game.Ohio has sold all of its ticket allotment, while Marshall will be lucky to sell 35% of their ticket allotment. This almost palpable malaise from the usually rabid Thundering Herd fans is due to the messy coaching situation and inexperience of the team.
Ohio would have been the right side of this game even if the Marshall coaching situation hadn’t become such a fiasco. They’re simply the better team top to bottom, and have an offense that can exploit the Herd’s defensive weakness against the pass.With the mess caused by the coaching situation, they’re an even stronger position.
