Ohio

And Ohio responds right back with a 60ish yard TD run.

We're going to run out of gas tonight. I like the offensive improvements I've seen, but the defense needs to be better.

When did this defense go back to 2017 tackle form? They act like they’re scared to wrap people up and just try to pop them.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Jones fumbles it away and OU has it in the BG red zone. I guess I talked him up too much - that's on me for jinxing him.

Like stix said above, we just aren't really tackling. We're using our arms instead of the body. Need to get back to form tackling around here - too many guys bouncing off the initial contact.

OU has the #8 3rd down offense in the country, and they score 91% of the time they're in the redzone, but we forced them to try a field goal.

Solid response from the defense. 17-14 Bobcats. Still somehow the first quarter.

Another fumble. We had a 10 yard run and a pretty successful play, but RB Marlow puts it on the ground and OU jumps on it. Man, we have to take care of the ball better than that.

And on the next play, OU hits a 45 yard bomb. Nobody was even close to him.

It's 24-14 and there are still 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

Lots of youth in the secondary tonight and boy is it showing.

Lots of youth in the secondary tonight and boy is it showing.

Especially with JaJuan Hudson out.

Ohio has run 8 plays and they have 24 points. That stat hurts.

[mbenecke]

The good news is, even though Andrew Clair is dressed tonight, it appears he is being held out - which to me signals that he will indeed redshirt and preserve a year of eligibility.

End of 1: Ohio 24, BG 14

[mbenecke]

BG replies with a long drive, capped off with a Bryson Denley TD run.

It's 24-21 Bobcats.

[MarkL]

Both teams are putting on tackling clinics.

[mbenecke]

OU going with tempo now.

Karl Brooks has some real potential at DE. He's only a sophomore.
