OSU vs FAU Game Thread: 09-08-05

i thought the game sucked. I was very upset in all the turnovers and the crowd. Were all very positive on this board and were all great fans but I'm going to sleep tonight an unhappy owl.

I too was disappointed in the crowd. The game itself wasn't all that upsetting. The team played hard. They made mistakes you would expect from a team of mostly freshman and sophomores playing a tough opponent on a short week. The mistakes are fixable though and this game, as well as the other non-conference games, will pay dividends when we get into the Sun Belt schedule.

As for the crowd, you wish more people would have shown up, but what can you do? Once again, the athletic department proves that they have a long way to go in terms of learning how to properly promote an event. There was very little advertising done. It is frustrating that more people, especially students, didn't make the trip to Miami, but it also emphasizes that this program truly won't get to where it should be without a stadium on campus.

Still, it was the biggest crowd we have drawn at Dolphins Stadium since the first game against Slippery Rock. Had the game been played at Lockhart, the place would have been packed. This will take time, but the fan base will eventually catch up to the team on the field.

I was wondering about this, what was the attendance for the FIU game last season? I think it was more than this wasn't it?

The announced FIU game crowd was 16,262, so slightly less than last nights game. I thought that the actual crowd at the game yesterday was larger though.

The play was sloppy by both FAU and OSU. Unfortunately FAU played sloppy the whole game whereas OSU cleaned it up in the second half. The turnovers killed the OWLS. Depth also played a serious factor as OSU began to really dominate in the second half. The O-line needs some work, Embick was running for his life all game long. However, he also ran on occasion when he could have just stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure. His speed and agility are great attributes, but sometimes he goes to them too soon. I was impressed with the defense through the first half. Despite being undersized they showed great fight and tremendous speed. FAU should have a great deal of success within the SBC. GO OWLS!!!

I say some of us are disapointed in the loss(would like to win every game) and also how they lost. The mental mistakes hurt us by spotting them some points and we never recovered. The OSU team realized that they weren't going to beat us in the air so the went to their strength. The running game.

But still I saw a silver lining in the game. The SunBelt schedule will be more competitive than these OOC games. We've shown flashes of a good football team in both losses. Maybe it will come together within the SB schedule.

We were not outmatched last night, we were outplayed however. It was tough to watch some of the mistakes that went on, but I feel that we will be VERY competitive in the SBC.

We could have won that game last night.

Don't think I could have said that any better myself. I'm just upset that I told all of my friends and family to watch.

The shots of the campus looked nice….at least there was that.

The game? That sucked.
