What’s Going To Happen
It’s must-win time for an Ohio team that lost the game it couldn’t lose to Miami University last week. That put the Bobcats 1.5 games behind the RedHawks in the East, but it also means they had to do a lot more work to get bowl eligible.
They get relative layups at Bowling Green and Akron to close, but they’ll have to win them both to go bowling. They also want to try to win out to get a shot a the MAC title.
Western Michigan is bowl eligible, but it has to hold off Central Michigan, Ball State and Toledo in the West. The Broncos have won three of their last four, but they close out with this game and a trip to Northern Illinois. Win both of them, and they’re off to the MAC title game.
They’re great at keeping things moving offensively, and they have the pass rush and defensive front to give the Ohio ground game a slew of problems.
They also dominate the turnover margin, and Ohio doesn’t take the ball away. On the road, WMU has to be a +2.
However, the Bobcats are better at WMU on third downs, and the running game has kicked it in to other gear over the last few weeks. As good as the Bronco line is at getting into the backfield, it can be hammered. Ball State might have lost last week, but it ran for 261 yards and three scores.
Ohio will run for over 200 yards this week, and in the final home game of the season, it’ll pull off the win by controlling the game a bit more.
