What’s Going To Happen

Ohio is now in get-to-a-bowl mode.

Head coach Frank Solich became the winningest head coach in MAC history in a 66-24 destruction of Bowling Green last week. That might have come in a disappointing year when the Bobcats were supposed to be in the mix for the MAC title, but it was still a great performance by a team that needed to win its last two games to get to six wins and bowl eligibility.

And here comes needed win No. 2.

Akron shockingly pushed a Miami University team that didn’t need to play last week. The RedHawks won the East and they’re playing for the MAC title, but they still won 20-17 against a Zip team that’s been the worst in college football in an 0-11 season.

This is Akron’s bowl.

It’s a home game with a chance to royally ruin Ohio’s year. No trip. No swag bag. No nothing but a loss to this awful tam that hasn’t managed more than 17 points in any of the last six games.

Ohio will have this without a problem.

The running game that rumbled all over Bowling Green for 342 yards will be at it again – the Bobcats have rushed for close to 1,300 yards and 18 scores in their last five games – against a miserable Zip defensive front.

Akron is dead last in the nation in total offense, dead last in turnover margin, and dead last in rushing behind an offensive line that’s dead last in fewest sacks allowed.

It’ll all be on display as Ohio gets bowl eligible.
