Eagles have largely benefitted from the play of their stout offensive
line who is averaging less than one sack allowed per game. This line
will be challenged though by the nation’s top pass-rushing defense, the
Ohio Bobcats. Led by Tarell Basham and Quentin Poling, Ohio is sacking
quarterbacks more than four times per game.
The 4-2 Bobcats squandered opportunities in a 56-54, three-overtime loss to Texas State in the opener and a 28-19 loss at Tennessee as Louis Zervos kicked four field goals in each. They’ve been better during their three-game winning streak, though, and held off Bowling Green, 30-24, last week.
Ohio has attempted 36 passes a game. The Eagles have lost the last six meetings with Ohio, and quarterback Brogan Roback might need a big game to help end that streak. Ohio is the favored to win but will need to have big games out of both Greg Windham and Sebastian Smith. Eastern Michigan has a top 50 rushing defense but has allowed over 260 yards per game through the air, meaning Windham could have a huge game throwing the ball.
