Ohio
Preview segment: The Ohio Bobcats
Last season: The Bobcats were thrown for a loop last July when Frank Solich retired from coaching due to ongoing heart problems. So under the new head man Tim Albin, Ohio went 3-9 (their worst record since 2003). Maybe with a full offseason, Tim Albin and the Bobcats will do better.
Good news: The defense returns 8 starters, and hopes are high that QB Kurtis Rourke will do a better job at commanding the Ohio offense.
Bad news: Kurtis might be the only playmaker on offense right now, as the RB and WR positions are lacking talent. Plus, early trips to Penn State and Iowa State will sorely test the Bobcats D-line.
Key games:
9/24 vs. Fordham (Included in that awful 3-9 season a year ago was a loss to FCS team Duquesne.)
10/1 @ Kent State (This one is definitely winnable for Ohio. I mean, Kent State should be all tuckered out after their trip to Athens, Georgia.)
10/8 vs. Akron (Another winnable game for the Bobcats.)
11/8 @ Miami-Ohio (Ohio was able to beat their rivals from Oxford last year 35-33.)
Bottom line: Line play should be a strength for Ohio, but they are not going back to the postseason unless their offense wakes the hell up.
