OK, I'll start.
Miami is a one dimensional passing team who lost their best WR(Larkin). They managed guady scoring numbers against the MAC, something like 31 ppg, but managed 10 and 13 points vs the 2 BCS schools they lost to (scUM and ?? )
The positives for them are they are a SR laden bunch in 2005 and might catch us looking ahead to UT but thats pretty much their only hope.
Thoughts?

Their other BCS opponent was a 17-13 loss to Iowa St. in the Independence Bowl. They also have to deal with a new head coach, Shane Montgomery, since Hoeppner went to Indiana.

Miami University Spring Game April 9
What needs working on ... Holding on to the ball. 30 turnovers were hard to get over killing momentum on too many drives. It was an equal opportunity problem with 14 fumbles and 16 interceptions. More ground production would be better only averaging 120 yards per game with too much of a reliance on the passing game
The most important position to watch is ... Running back. QB Josh Betts and receiver Martin Nance and R.J. Corbin will be the offense, but that doesn't mean the loss of longtime producers Luke Clemens and Mike Smith out of the backfield isn't going to hurt. Finding reliable kickers to replace PK Jared Parseghian and P Mike Wafzig is also important.
Spring attitude... It's time to dominate. Miami has done the get-to-a-bowl thing, and that's not something to take lightly, but the team and program have to take the next step and become more of a respected national power. This is a senior dominated team that new head coach Shane Montgomery takes over; it should be a terror all year long if the coaching staff does the job.

I don't think this one will be a contest, at all. I think this will just be chance for the Buckeyes to flex their muscles and show off a bit.
