Why did it take them until under two minutes left in the game and having to convert a 3rd and 26 and 4th and 9 to come back?

Teams who put themselves in those situations and are 7-5 don't have to ability to even put their foot on the pedal. Toledo is a midget driving a semi.

If you have noticed there was a lot of staff changes after the season.

Toledo fans love pointing out the past, it's all they have to hold onto.

That has nothing to do what we were talking about but ok, congrats.

+1..

He almost beat us last year with EIU talent.

He will be coaching in one of the majors too(B1G,SEC, ACC Big12)..didn't realize he was 52 already though...

Not worried about Bowling Green losing a little on defense, they had plenty to spare against us..

Babers had enough offensive talent on that EIU team. He also came out playing video game style and it was the only reason they were in the game late. They had a great game plan and our defense was horrendous.

And the BGSU defense didn't do anything special against us. We averaged 5.5 yards per play. Bad turnovers and awful defense/special teams play on our part. Their defense was good but they didnt have "plenty to spare"

Thanks. We will remember you said that.

I never understood why the past matters so much in little tidbits like that. All of those Bowling Green teams that lost were made up of completely different players. It has nothing to do with this current team. So because a team 25 years ago struggled at Toledo that somehow has some kind of affect on this team? It makes no sense.

Would the fact that Toledo won at Bowling Green last season make more sense. It was on the way to being a blow out @21-0 when the Rockets took their foot off the pedal and started to substitute freely.

When Toledo and Bowling Green play, it's unfortunate that one of the teams has to win.

Yes it does. It has a lot to do with answering those questions.

Question: Why didn't they put their foot back on the gas with only a 14 point halftime lead?

Question: Why did it take them until under two minutes left in the game and having to convert a 3rd and 26 and 4th and 9 to come back?

Answer: If you have noticed there was a lot of staff changes after the season.

You have a weird way of answering questions.

We were asking the same thing to Doeren after than squeaker vs Buffalo in 2011.

1. We lost by 20 though when you score a TD with 2 seconds left.. I consider that 27
2. Lynch was 50%completion with 2 ints
3. WE scored 1 TD in the 1st quarter, 2 FG in the 2nd, a TD in 3rd, and nothing until 2 seconds left in 4th when they went to prevent..

I would say they had plenty to spare.

On a defensive note.. I love how people gush over Bass like his going to play in the NFL.. he had 3 tackles in MACC game, same amount as Boomer Mays,

+1. He came out after the game and admitted the team voted to try anyway possible to get the win...meaning going for it on almost all 4th downs in the 1st quarter and on-side kicks.

Are you serious? The team voted? Did the coaches not determine how the game would be played?

That can't be true...right?

I mean I haven't heard anything that absurd since Meco Brown & Chad Spann were deciding among themselves how to split up carries.

Babers did say after the NIU game, that he talked to the team about the game. They told him that wanted to go all out for the win. That led him to try things like the onside kick and 4th down tries. Whether it was coachspeak, who knows?

EIU with nothing to lose vs NIU is a different scenario than a Conference Championship.

These preseason arguments are fun. Can anyone discuss if BGSU will have any injuries and if that might affect their wins and losses?

Yep.

A lot of questions for BG to address on the defensive side of the ball

BG got a verbal today from a four star QB.

Bet he isn't as good as Lynch. Emu has a 4 star QB and they still suck, ratings don't mean anything.
