  • We should win coming off the bye.  And having charlotte next. Bearcats had navy to prepare for.  Bearcats D will be fatigued but there offense will not.  Our D stands tall and ST do it again we win.  If we don't win it will be very disappointing.  I'm giving the Herd an extra td this week thanks to Navy and hopes of a fair officiated game.

  • FWIW, The spread is up to 5 now;Massey favors Cincinnati by 6; and Sagarin favors Cincinnati by 5.37.  You don’t get much more consistent than that.  Would love to have 0-3’s prediction. Haven’t seen him post in a while.

  • If we play a clean game and get pressure on their QB we can win this one.

    We MUST get pressure on the QB. He had a great day vs Navy on Saturday.

    Which puts one-on-one pressure on the secondary. so they'll need to be sharp and penalty free.  penalties and turnovers in general could be the difference in this game.  the other factor is can coaching/team play 4 full quarters which they did not do against NCST (better competition at their place)

    With the benefit of hindsight this is a momentum make or break game and might well define the year.  I think Doc needs this one worse than anybody.

    Marshall needs to play a clean, nearly penalty and turnover free game and they can win.

  • We are better than Cincy, but our terrible OC makes it tough to win

    Hope I’m wrong.........Go Herd!

    I watched Cincy's first two games. Any time their QB got pressured he got rattled and didn't handle it well. If we try to play nickel all day, zone, etc. without some blitzes and pressure, he'll pick us apart. jmo

  • It's going to be two evenly-matched teams, so it should be a good game.  We haven't completely crapped our pants in a game yet this season though, so I figure that's coming at some point.

    on the other hand, i suppose its fair to say we haven't had a complete game either and it appears we're capable, at least, compared to last year

  • I feel good about the game this weekend.  All along I felt we would beat Miami when a lot of people didn't think so.  I have that same feeling about this weekend.  I think our team comes out focused and ready to get after it.  Have I felt like that before and been wrong?  Of course but hopefully not this time.  The game is at night, should be a great crowd and our team will be fired up.  We like the night games and know we have a chance to win and go 3-1 in OOC.  They will have all day to get fired up and ready to get after it.  It appears our fans have been given seats right behind our bench so they will be able to see us giving it our all getting behind them. 

    Our guys will get it done!!

    I like what I've seen from our secondary so far.  I think we can depend on them to do the job without nickel or dime packages and depend on the front seven to get in the qb's face.

  • Even though Cincinnati is down this year, this would be a very big win for MU, and definitely a morale booster.  However, Doc has to prove that he can get the team prepared to win during the week, motivate the team to win before kickoff, execute a winning game plan, make in-game adjustments if necessary along the way, then manage the game properly to the end for the win.  Doc has problems doing this, and it makes some fans skeptical that he can go to Cincinnati and leave with a win.

  • jimmys and joes over Xs and Os...even coaches say so. Don't understand a 21 yr old college FB player that needs prompting from the coach to be excited for a game like this one. I think the future is bright once again for the Herd.

    I agree with about it being a big win and morale booster.  What I am looking for is what it does for the team to go on the road and win in front of a big crowd, go 3-1 in OOC and get momentum going into conference play all after only winning 3 games last year.  Nobody including our own fans expected us to beat UC and even Miami, OH.  A road win at night would do wonders for the players and fans.  I can't wait to watch the game tomorrow.  It should be a fun evening and fantastic weather.

    Cut the crap!  You've seen it as well as everyone else here has.  Doc at times has had a very big problem getting the team up for away games.  He needs to "get it fixed".
