Any word on Warnock or the other O lineman that went down two weeks ago?

The line has gone to -12. Interesting.

Man, our money games seem to be looking tougher every day. ASU is ranked #24 now and haven't given up more than 7 points in a game. Wisconsin is currently dismantling #11 Michigan 28-0 just after halftime despite their stud back missing the full second quarter. Wisconsin is still pitching a shutout for the season.

In the stadium 30 mins before kickoff and stadium looking pretty bare. Hopefully everyone is hiding in the parking lot. I am a little fearful of the weather as the clouds are building up. But it wouldn't be a Kent State game without potentially bad weather.

I suspect the reason Barrett won the job out of camp is the coaching staff isn't comfortable with Crum in the red zone yet. The offense has been moving the ball really well but as soon as they get into a first and goal situation you start seeing trick plays. A WR pass and a wild cat snap in this game. Two weeks ago they actually put Barrett in for the goal line series.

With that said, Crum looks really good so far today. I promise I'll only say this a few times every game he looks good for the rest of his career but he should only be a soph. They burnt a redshirt chance by making him the kick holder last year. Urgghhh.

This is the best our offense has looked against a MAC opponent in a LONG time. Crum is spreading the ball around to numerous receivers - McKoy, Price, Dixon, Abrams and more. He reminds me of a mobile Spencer Keith. I admit I didn't see this blowout coming. With 10 minutes left we're up 35 points. Hope this is the 1st of 5-6 conference wins!

When was the last time this team scored 62 in a conference game? Good lord. I had the under (62.5).

62-20. Biggest win since 2004.

750 yards total offense. Most in school history. 375 rushing, 375 passing)[/size]

Not being negative and loved the game today, but that was the worst BG team I have ever seen. In fact, it is one of the worst MAC team I have seen. But, they will be back, and we are getting better by the week.

I think you should take it easy proclaiming BG the worst the MAC has ever seen. Among others (EMU and Akron come to mind) we have fielded some doozies.

Wow. Akron lost big to Troy. OU even lost to Louisiana, but I think they are actually supposed to be decent.

Not to get ahead of ourselves because BGSU is really bad, but we just might win some games in the MAC this year.

I think there's no question we have moved up a tier in the MAC this season. How long did it take Haynes last team to score 62 points? I'm afraid to look.

OK, I looked. Versus FBS opponents, it took until Nov. 8 to go over the 62 point mark. Scored 115 on the season, plus 38 vs. Howard. Scored 57 vs the first 8 FBS opponents. Scored 58 in the last 3. The last three were all losses, though.

Well that was fun today!

11 different players caught passes. That may be a record.

to ksuforever:

"our pathetic, embarrassing football program" just beat Bowling Green 62-20.
put that in your pipe & smoke it!


go flashes!!

“Announced” attendance today 19700?? Not sure
Who did the counting but very suspect . More of
JN creative accounting. Home side less than
Half full , ( many BG fans ) . Student section
maybe 75% full, first half. End zone empty.
If stadium capacity is 25000, 19700
Lots of ghosts. Guessing they count tickets sold
But to these eyes it was more like 10700,
In the stands ,

Exactly!

That last TD run was by Bangda was a thing of beauty. Really interested in watching him develop.

I know BG is very young. Frankly, they had a lot that worries me in the next few years. But in case y'all forgot, we usually lose to really bad teams.
I'm not really getting ahead of myself. The next real game we play is Akron (bye week and Wisconsin.)
It does surprise me that these FCS teams are starting to be less of a push-over. With the millions the MAC teams make on these P5 teams, you'd think the FCS wouldn't be coming up to us.
