The Bobcats (6-3, 4-1 Mid-American Conference) are right on track in terms of competing for a MAC East Divisional title.
Ohio has three games remaining, including two at home, and will wrap up the regular season against MAC East leader Temple (4-0 MAC) on Nov. 27. Already bowl eligible, the Bobcats have a chance to wrap up their second divisional title in four years with a strong November. if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object(); window.yzq_d['DVSDJkwNBlw-']='&U=13emmgjj0%2fN%3dDVSDJkwNBlw-%2fC%3d715481.13522283.13597024.1323516%2fD%3dSKY%2fB%3d5761156%2fV%3d1';
However, Ohio has some concerns. Injuries have robbed the roster of its quality depth. The ground game has been inconsistent, and in the red zone Ohio’s spread offense has been far from effective.
Add into that suddenly spotty quarterback play, and an increase in turnovers, and there is reason to believe Ohio has plenty to work on during its down time.
The good news is Ohio will have plenty of time to work on such issues. The Bobcats don’t play again until Nov. 10, and then will have another 11 days off until a home date on Nov. 21.
Ohio will get a chance to get healthy, and iron out the kinks. The Bobcats hope the late respite will be enough to power them through the final three games and into a divisional title and bowl game.
• WR Taylor Price will be watched carefully over the next week. Ohio’s leading receiver, Price missed the end of a 20-17 win at Ball State on Oct. 31 while he was icing down a sore left knee. Price was to have x-rays on the joint during the off-week.
• Ohio has won four straight MAC road games, and is 4-1 on the road this season. The ‘Cats only loss on the road came at Tennessee on Sept. 26. The Bobcats haven’t won five straight conference road games since a seven-game stretch from 1959-’61.
Next Game: Ohio at Buffalo, Nov. 10—Ohio leads the series 9-6 (last meeting, Buffalo 32-19, Oct. 28, 2008)
This Week ‘S MISSION: The Bobcats took a couple extra days off this week to help heal up. With one game over a 20-day stretch, the Bobcats will be getting plenty of down time the first half of the month of November. It’s good news to a number of Bobcats who have sore ankles, knees and shoulder. The other big project is a short-yardage package for the offense. Ohio will try to convert an interior lineman to act as a fullback in goal-line situations in an effort to improve its red zone offense.
November At A Glance: Ohio’s season hits its climax with three potentially tough conference games. The Bobcats will travel to Buffalo (Nov. 10), and then end the regular season with back-to-back home games against Northern Illinois (Nov. 21) and Temple (Nov. 27). Temple has been the best in the MAC East all season, NIU is a contender in the MAC West, and Ohio has dropped two of its last three games at Buffalo.
Quote To Note: “We’ve been playing for nine straight weeks. The timing of this is a pretty good thing for us.”—Ohio head coach Frank Solich on Ohio’s schedule, which includes just one game in the first 20 days of November.
Looking Good: Ohio has been able to move into its new offense—a spread variant with a lot of the ‘pistol’ formation—with a certain degree of success this season. Senior QB Theo Scott has been solid for the most part, and Ohio’s passing game picked up nicely where it left off last season.
On special teams, Ohio continues to win the match up on most game days. Ohio has blocked four punts this season, and returned a pair of punts for touchdowns. Ohio has also returned a kick-off for a touchdown this season, and redshirt freshman kicker Matt Weller (15 of 20 field goals) is on a record-setting place.
Defensively, Ohio wanted more turnovers this year and has been getting them. The Bobcats lead the nation in turnovers forced (27) and fumbles recovered (14). Ohio is also ninth in interceptions (14) and ninth in turnover ratio (+1.00/game).
Still Needs Work: Short-yardage and red zone offense remain problems for the Bobcats. With no fullbacks, and no true power backs on the roster, and a young offensive line, Ohio has found crossing the goal line tough when they get inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Ohio has scored 20 of 29 times inside the 20, which ranks in the bottom 10 percent of the country, and have scored just 10 touchdowns in 29 red zone chances.
Defensively, Ohio is still occasionally soft against the run. With fast, but undersized linebackers, and a defensive line short of run-stoppers, the Bobcats are giving up 150 rushing yards per game. The average per carry isn’t an issue (3.8), but in losses to UConn and Tennessee early in the season the Bobcats clearly showed they weren’t quite ready to go toe-to-toe with bigger, more experienced offensive fronts.
Star Watch: Senior QB Theo Scott has been both brilliant, and guilty of drive-killing turnovers, this season. Scott is completing 55 percent of his throws and has 1,437 yards with 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season. He will need to finish strong if Ohio is to succeed.
Ohio was hoping senior RB Chris Garrett could develop into a feature back this season. It hasn’t happened. Garrett leads the team with 389 yards rushing and two rushing scores, but hasn’t been able to hold onto the No. 1 spot on the depth chart. He’s missed two games with injury and seen his reps reduced as backups Donte Harden (208 yards) and Vince Davidson (166 yards) have both been given the chance on Saturdays.

I made a promise to myself that I would leave these Tuesday/Wednesday JV matchups alone and wait to wager on Varsity games that start on Thursday. But after reading that I would take Buffalo and the Under.
If you cant run in short yardage and you have an undersized dline that struggles stopping the run ...that smells problems against a team that can run effectively and has a mobile QB in Buffalo. Ohio ranks 103rd in redzone efficiency 90th in rushing offense and 70th in run D. Ohio having to use a guard in the backfield in short yardage makes them 1 dimensional and I dont see any advantages to it. One thing that interest me is I wonder if they will open up the play book and throw the ball against the Buffalo's "loose" off man coverage that they used again Bowling Green. There were sooo many holes in that defense I was suprised BG didnt throw for 400+ yards that night
But again Im not wagering on this game and I wouldnt put my money on that joke of a coach from Buffalo who last week thought a football game was 3 quarters long. Seeming how with a lead he decided to run run run and punt the ball the entire 4th quarter. But I see a letdown here for Ohio at least early on in the game and Buffalo still has "hope" for making a bowl game. This is the game they need to make that a reality. Buffalo 1st half would be a play for me in this one
