How To Bounce Back Against Colorado

Fickell wasn't happy.
Well, we lost, and are out of the Top 25 for the first time in 7 years. On Saturday night, as I watched my Twitter feed, I thought the sky was falling and the world was coming to an end. Right now, I am not sure any of us know what the right answer would be for us to bounce back. We know we looked flat, unprepared and didn't adjust at the half.

Here are my 5 keys for a more positive outcome in Ohio Stadium this coming Saturday against the Colorado Buffalo's.

5. More intensity...I've never seen Luke Fickell so collected as he has been in both the games I have watched this season. Maybe he is trying too hard to be the Senator, but he was great at getting the defense fired up on the sidelines as a coordinator...what happened to that guy?

4. Better preparation....The team looked confused as to who they were playing. I don't know if the Maryland game film and the absence/return of the suspended players for Miami caused that much confusion or if we just didn't spend our time wisely in the film rooms this week. Classes start this week so it should be interesting to see what happens.
