Ohio up 10-7 at the half...

Ohio actually covers receivers.

NIU playbook to start second half.
We will see if they keep it up.

Ohio running all over Toledo. Maybe they'll start airing out since the run game is working too well...

NIU coaching staff watching Ohio's last drive: You're allowed to call consecutive running plays????? No way!!!!!!!!

Game obviously meaningless in terms of MAC West race since Toledo doesn't have a loseable game after this one, but interesting to see Ohio play so good. Solich really is a great coach.

Hope Tre Harbisons not watching...
That's ANOTHER OHIO RUSHING TD!!!

And how do you know ESPN deal has officially destroyed MAC fanbases, no multiple attendance bragging threads from OU fans on the MAC main board.

As a proud graduate of the Rod Carey School of Coaching, I resent your comment! One of the first things we were taught is never continue anything that's successful. The goal is to confuse the opposition. The fact that it also confuses the fans, radio and TV announcers, and stadium vendors makes no difference!

Umm...so we win out and our friends in K-Zoo upset the visiting Turds and we go to Detroit .....

Yes, the few times this year it looked like based on the game flow NIU should go conservative (ending of SDSU and @ Toledo), they don't. There is a certain tone deafness.

You never know what’s going to happen. It’s football! a sprained ankle a timely turnover could change teams fates. That’s why they play the games, you never know!

For sure. Not likely, but if woodside gets dinged up, who knows. It's not like Toledo doesn't have a history of choking.

Will be very tough for NIU to win out. Don’t see them surviving the directional Michigan gauntlet.

What horrible call. All he did was tackle...

The ending of SDSU was pathetic. Two terrible passes by Santa in the last 3 mins. RC was right to chew his ass out on the first one.

Thanks Nostradamus. WMU has a chance especially if Toledo can't replace their rb. To say meaningless is to be without hope. Nobody thought NIU would get to Orange Bowl either.

If Toledo is gonna give up a billion yards on the ground, WMU can give them a game.

Them losing another game is a long shot still, but it's not impossible.

+1000- the MAC West is still on the line if Toledo loses tonight. WMU can beat them.
