What we learned about Ohio State’s rout of Alabama A&M

It was a true tale of two halves for Ohio State but they pulled out the victory and finished off the year with a 9-3 record after defeating Alabama A&M 90-59. In this game we saw the return of two Buckeyes ahead of a stretch of conference play. …

It was a true tale of two halves for Ohio State but they pulled out the victory and finished off the year with a 9-3 record after defeating Alabama A&M 90-59. In this game we saw the return of two Buckeyes ahead of a stretch of conference play.

There were plenty of good things that came with this win for Chris Holtmann and this ever improving group. The freshman continue to impress and the depth obviously increased with two Bucks competing back after time off. Here is what we learned from Ohio State’s solid win against an overmatched Alabama A&M team before the New Year’s Eve and the big game.

Troy vs Alabama A&M Game Preview

Why Alabama A&M Will Win

It was a rough go for the Bulldogs in the 59-0 opener against UAB to start the season. The four turnovers had something to do with that.

It’s a better team that it played in Birmingham. There’s enough of a passing game for Troy to worry about, and the the efficient attack isn’t going to misfire as often as it did. Everything was short, the chains didn’t move, and it got ugly.

Expect more downfield shots, but …

Why Troy Will Win

The Troy defense stepped up large in the 28-10 loss to Ole Miss.

It didn’t get the job done in defeat – the offense couldn’t translate a few decent drives into enough points – but the D held down the high-powered Rebel passing attack to just 167 yards.

The run defense had a whole lot of problems, but Alabama A&M isn’t going to crank up big, gashing runs – it didn’t have a run of more than nine yards against UAB.

– Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

The Troy offense will have some fun this week.

The defense will keep the Bulldog attack from going off – the points will come in the second half – and the O will get the running game going to complement an efficient day from QB Gunnar Watson.

Bowling Green/West Virginia/WKU transfer Jarret Doege will see plenty of action as Troy gets some good work in to get ready for Appalachian State.

UAB vs Alabama A&M Game Preview

Why Alabama A&M Will Win

The Bulldogs have a passing game.

They were fourth in the FCS last season averaging over 367 yards per game thanks to 6-5 QB Aqeel Glass and a loaded receiving corps that gets back Abdul-Fatai Ibrahim, Dee Anderson, and Odieu Hilaire. This trio of targets will give everyone problems this season.

UAB will be in the first game post-Bill Clark era, and the offense has to prove it can start doing even more. It was okay last season, but there’s a shot Alabama A&M makes this a bit of a shootout, and …

Why UAB Will Win

Nah.

Yes, Alabama A&M has an offense that can do enough to make the game interesting, but the UAB secondary should be terrific with a slew of all-star talents who should be able to hold up.

The Blazer offense will be fine. Alabama A&M won’t generate enough of a pass rush to matter – offensive line and pass protection will need to be one of UAB’s big improvements – and there won’t be any big chances taken.

The O will keep pounding away, and the defense should be able to take care of the rest, even with the Bulldogs bombing away. Don’t expect the A&M ground attack to do much of anything.

– Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Thursday & Friday

What’s Going To Happen

UAB beat Alabama A&M 38-7 to open up the 2017 season, and had a few problems against Alabama State get get 2019 going and against Central Arkansas at the beginning of 2020.

There will be a few rough spots, but the Blazers will methodically keep things moving, and the secondary will come up with enough second half stops to get by.
