For us to play a team like Ohio State, it's better that we play them in the first game of the year rather than in the middle. It gives us the opportunity for working the kinks out. This week is more important on paper than last week.
More Quotes from Shane Montgomery:
Now you see MAC teams playing a lot of Big Ten teams tough. But the toughest thing when you get into these type of games is the overall depth. Recruiting-wise they still get, most the time, who they want. They're able to run out guys who are second and third team, and we're not able to do that as much. Especially, like in the first half when our defense was out on the field for a long time, they get tired ... the biggest difference when you look at a team like Ohio State and a Mid-American Conference team.Shane Montgomery
From opening the season at home versus the Big Ten, to closing the regular season by renewing a Thanksgiving weekend tradition (Ohio, Nov. 24), this is a great schedule for Miami football.

The difference in it is there are no open weeks. After the first game on a Thursday, we play on nine straight Saturdays.

We did not tackle well today and we gave up too many big plays.

I was pleased with the effort (against Ohio State), especially in the fourth quarter when things could have gotten out of hand. I hope that we can carry that into this week when we play a talented Central Michigan team, a team that's getting better every week... After watching them against Indiana, we know we're going to face a tough, very athletic team that's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
