The D played well at times against Wabash and last year against Witt at home. However ,those have been the exceptions and not the rule. Review the scores the past couple of seasons and you will notice a half dozen games or so that were blown in the 4th quarter. As far as the offense, They lost #15 at QB for the year and Rice graduated .This will be a work in progress. The o scored more than enough points the last few seasons to be competitive and win games. Need to stick with one QB if the O is going to jell at all this season.

Been watching OWU for several years now and its obvious that Hollway needs to get actively involved with all phases of the teams play. Not just with the offense. Never saw a defense so consistently snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Big trouble stopping the pass. Giving up big runs in key spots late in games. Gets back to fundamentals. Instead of breaking down and tackling, they grab the jerseys, arm tackle and reaching for the ball trying to make the big play. Have to stop the DE's from running around like chickens without a head on every play. Might as well take them off the field and play with 9 guys. Stay home and make the tackle. One QB this week please.

OWU needs to revisit the way they play defense. Both DE's are in blitz mode on every play and wind up being out of position and out of the play on virtually all running plays.In essence they play 'D' with 9 men
instead of 11. Few guys know how to break down and tackle. Speed is great if you can tackle.
Remember, a team with two starting quarterbacks is a team with no quarterback.
