I think this is going to be a tough road game for BG. This is a much improved Ohio team. I know they are 1-3 in the MAC, but they play well at home where they are 2-1 with just a 3-point loss to Marshall and recently beat Kentucky on the road. We cannot go into Athens overconfident the way we did in our game with NIU. If we do, we'll lose. If we go in with focus and play bG football, we'll be just fine.

We basically have to win out the season to have any hope for post season playing and I'm sure the team knows that. With that said, I really doubt they'd be overconfident. No matter what team they are playing, the Falcons know the game still counts and I'm sure they will play BG football! It sounds like a lot of people will be heading to Athens so with the crowd support, they could feel like they are right at home! I don't doubt they could give us some challenge but I don't think it will be enough to cause problems. It's not really being overconfident, it's just KNOWING you are better than the opponent and then proving it on the field.

Yes, being confident is good, being over confident is not good. On paper, we should win this game. But games aren't played on paper, so when we line up, we just need to bring it.

I watched the first quarter of the OU turd game and was not impressed with either team. Ou uses 2 quarterbacks, one is a real weak passer. Their o-line doesn't protect well. OU was putting good preasure on Gradanobody. Had to go to work so that was all I was able to watch. Now let's skin my alma-mater
