BG v MU discussion thread

[MarkL]

I don't like to give any kind of credit to those announcers, but I have to here. They said a 7-5 BG team has got to be appealing to bowls, considering the fans would get to see Tyler Sheehan and Freddie Barnes light up a defense. I agree with that thought 100%. Now the team just needs to get to 7-5. GO BG!!

Something for the bookmakers to consider, since 2001 we are 24-12 on the road in MAC games.

Since 2007 we are 10-2.

My streak continues. I got off work, went out to eat and had a few beers, came back home and had another. I drink during the game, BG wins. It's a beautiful thing

Doing some rough calculations it looks like any FBS team that gets to 7 wins should get a bowl bid. The ACC should have 2 bids they can't fulfill, the Big 10 one and the Mountain West two. It looks like there should be 5 teams that will finish with 7 wins and not get a conference-affiliated bid, 2 from the MAC, 2 from the Sun Belt, and 1 from the WAC. If we take care of business at home we should have a bowl bid waiting for us.

I don't know that it made it on any replay (and Miami(OH)'s replays were few and far between on the video board) but Tyler flat laid out a defender on the reverse for a TD. Likely turned a play for a loss into a TD.

There were a ton of BG fans there. The Miami fans were sort of late-arriving, but for awhile it almost looked like we would outnumber 'em. I don't know if I saw any Miami(OH) students there.

And from what I could see from across the field and on a quick replay, Freddie got screwed on that fumble.

Regardless, I don't know what this "Whammy" thing is you all talk about... I, for one, have never seen BG lose in Oxford.

So does mine! I didn't know the score until the last 2 minutes of the game.

It's all about discipline, folks. Aaaaaaaaaaalllll about discipline.





And scotch.

I really wish I would have known that this game was on ChannelSurfing.net. I sat there with the freaking ESPN GameCast on watching a play, a pause, 8 plays in 3 seconds, pause and so on. Awesome win though, another 10 catched for Freddie and an AWESOME win against JCrewU(OH). Great to see the defense get a 2nd half shut-out and I'm so glad PJ is back in the Defensive Backfield. Do have a question on a rule though. It was my understanding that if a Field Goal was missed the ball would be placed at the spot of the kick, not the snap but when Norsic missed the 37 yarder, Miami got the ball at the 20? Is that just in the NFL???

Not positive of the EXACT LOCATION of the ball on his kick, but logic says a kicker usually is 7 yds. behind the line for the kick...so the ball WAS on the 20, if my calculations are correct...


BTW, Thanks to you guys for getting me on to channelsurfing.net....Unfortunately, the feed was VERY erratic and fuzzy at times, not allowing me to see some plays unfold... so I put Todd and John on the radio... the Channelsurfing site was approx. 1 1/2 minutes BEHIND the radio broadcast... so I knew at least what to watch for on the field... Are the "replay" officials WORSE than the guys on the field? Admittedly, we're watching 2 dimensionally, but Freddie's knee HAD to hit he ground before the reach OVER the line, and resulting "fumble"... and how could they miss that Willie's ARM hit the pylon on the field?

Interesting stats from the game - check it out:

Team Totals BGSU MIAMI
FIRST DOWNS 18 18
Rushing 9 2
Passing 8 15
Penalty 1 1
NET YARDS RUSHING 146 36
Rushing Attempts 34 27
Average Per Rush 4.3 1.3
Rushing Touchdowns 2 2
Yards Gained Rushing 175 77
PUNTS-YARDS 5-203 5-177
Average Yards Per Punt 40.6 35.4
Net Yards Per Punt 39.6 32.8
Inside 20 4 0

If you look at the rushing stats, you'd swear based off past performances that the columns were mixed up. We only gained 20 yards rushing vs CMU and allowed I think around 200, but opposite this time - we outrushed them by 110. And 9 of our 18 first downs were by rushing. That takes a ton of pressure off Sheehan and Barnes. Clawson't got to be happy. And 4 of Iovenelli's 5 punts were downed within the 20 - not bad.

Another interesting stat: Attendance: 8935

Ok, I'll try this again...

BG had the ball on the 20. It was snapped to the 27 for the kick. When it missed, Miami got the ball at the 20. I believe in the NFL they would have had it at the 27. Is that correct? Is the NFL rule different than college?

[Dayons_Den]

Google is your friend.

In the NFL, missed field goals attempted from the 20-yard line or closer result in the opposing team taking possession at the 20-yard line. Missed field goals attempted from beyond the 20-yard line result in the opposing team taking possession at the spot of the kick.

In the NCAA, the opposing team takes possession at the line of scrimmage rather than at the spot of the kick.

How do I put this nicely? Ummmm....*cough*bullshit*cough*

Must have counted some invisible students and season ticket holders.

[VDub26Falcon]

Just like we did when we had to get a good attendence number to stay off probation.
