30. MAC Previews: Ohio | Miami | Ball State

EPISODE 30

Another Mid-American Conference team previews episode! Here, Alex and Kaleb talk about the two most recent MAC champions, and one team that had to replace its historic, long-long-time tenured head coach in Frank Solich not too long ago. 

Ohio (6:10) has been a steady program in the Frank Solich era. But now Solich has retired from coaching the game, and long-time offensive coordinator Tim Albin is now in charge of things. We doubt things will change too drastically, for better or for worse, but we still wonder if there’s enough to actually win the East crown this year.

Miami (19:01) won the MAC Championship in 2019, and a lot of those same players are still hanging around. For as much as we’ll praise Ohio for how consistent its coaching staff has been, Miami’s starting to be able to say those same things.

Ball State (31:48) pulled off a 2020 season that’s worth remembering. With the extra year of eligibility and all those super seniors coming back (Justin Hall, Drew Plitt, Bryce Cosby, etc.), what’s stopping the Cardinals from making a repeat?
