CMU deserves more fan support than what they get. Its a great stadium, and an excellent game day experience. Tickets are cheap ($18.00 on the 50 yard line) and parking is all right next to the stadium and all spots are excellent tail gating areas. Their stadium is the largest on-campus stadium in the MAC, seating over 30K.
I hope the Chips can rise back up, and get into MAC Championship contention on a regular basis again.
I might as well delude myself. It's better than dealing with reality. So, why not take a look at the 2020 Ohio State Buckeye team that will play nary a game.

Kicking Game - same as last year.
Overall, the offense should be preposterously good. Trey Sermon is a huge addition. Chris Olave is a badass. Garrett Wilson is going to be a bad ass. And JSN and Julian Fleming are going to play. On the OL, Myers and Davis are first 4 round players. Munford will get drafted. And I love Miller. NPF is the huge question mark. I think he'll be adequate at best, but that's really the only weak spot I see on offense.
The defense is going to pretty damn good in the front 7.They lose Young and Hamilton (unsung hero), but they have some really good DEs in the wings. Togiai, I think, is going to be a monster. I generally like the LB corps, especially if Browning gets moved to WLB. The problem is going to be in the secondary. Wade is lockdown, but after that it gets really dicey. They're going to have to adjust to having 1.5 guys out there who can barely cover DSL after a trip to Danny's Deli.
The offense should tear nearly every B10 team apart (and Oregon, too). The defense should be good enough to hold most teams to far few points than 50.
If they torch Oregon then they can probably afford to lose at Happy Valley, which is always a distinct possibility. But, otherwise it's a manageable schedule.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
