If you look at box score, the way all of Ohio's possessions ended was pretty encouraging:

Punt
Punt
Fumble
Interception
Punt
Field Goal
End of Half

Punt
Interception
TD
Punt
Fumble
Punt
End of Game
Agree. I think more MJ helps Will get more one on one's but otherwise very happy with the defense and with Beau coming back hopefully next week even better

Covered the spread by a large margin. Always a good sign especially when there were some things to still work on this week in practice for sure. That’s a good sign as those oddsmakers don’t usually miss by that much when they do miss.

Hello, saved me the trouble of posting. Ditto.

I live in rural area with not so high speed ATT internet, so I attribute 'some' of it to that. But I think it is more than that. Just not good reception today, at all.

And it kept bumping me off. Espn- (minus) in my opinion.

Jump on some random YouTuber live stream to see if it’s on ESPN+

Nice output on O, some sloppiness mixed in to work on, but good day no serious injuries I believe.

Love to see the team just show up and pummel someone and not even need anywhere near a perfect execution to do it.

Great job Cyclones! Get another one next week!

Same here right when they turned it over.

Seriously?

I want to go 10-2 or better. Up your game.
Well I wanted to say that but I figured I'd dampen myself a little bit and let a young team have a off day. Next year considering we could return basically everyone but Shaw and X and 4/5 starters up front and the vast majority of the defense etc - I figured we'd have that 10 win season.

But I'm with you overall

I suspect that your ATT internet is more to blame than you think, my friend.

I realize there are kinks to be worked out, but…

I get the distinct impression we’re at the start of four years with a pair of really good kickers and punters.
Not blaming the punters, but if not for pure dumb luck, we could be sitting on four blocked punts this season. That’s astounding. What percentage of P5 schools take 2, 3, or 4 seasons to reach that total? At this point, I’ll just assume between giving up long returns, having chip shot FGs blocked, getting a punt blocked, whatever, STs are going to cost us 10 pts/game going forward. It’s mind numbing how we can’t improve in a huge part of the game.

How many blocked punts have we had the previous 2, 3 or 4 seasons?

(And “almost” doesn’t count. This isn’t horseshoes or hand grenades—and every single team out there has “almosts”)

We had a punt against SEMO go right between the guy’s arms. I mean c’mon.
