What We Learned: Takeaways from Ohio’s 49-14 loss to the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns

We took a look at the game a second time and have a good bit to say on where the Bobcats stand after three weeks.

Rushing Defense

If Ohio is going to start winning some games this year, they obviously are going no need improvement in rushing defense.

Ohio surrendered 310 yards rushing to the Ragin’ Cajuns and the Bobcat defense is averaging 254 rushing yards allowed per game this season, which has made it easy for Bobcat opponents to go on long drives capped with a lot of touchdowns.

One issue that has persisted since week one is that off-tackle contain as DEs, LBs, and/or safeties are getting sucked inside on a regular basis only for the runs to hit outside for large chunks.
