With about 30 players sitting out – most of them on offense – points were hard to come by as the Bobcats did not reach the end zone in 38 plays. Ohio managed 139 yards of offense and committed one turnover.

Rather than playing a regular game, the Bobcats were forced to shorten the scrimmage.

“We didn’t have any choice,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “If we had a choice, we would have liked to have most of our guys healthy and we would have liked to have put on a spring game. I think the players would have enjoyed that a little bit more and the fans probably. But we were forced to go the... <Read More>

Ohio’s 2013 football recruiting class includes 22 players.

Players who inked letters-of-intent to play for the Bobcats include eight defensive linemen.

The Bobcats also have signed three prep school players: Fork Union teammates cornerback Jarid Brown and defensive back Dyquan Stewart and Hargrave Military defensive end Tarell Basham. All three currently are enrolled in classes at Ohio University, as is junior college transfer Watson Tautaiaki.

Of all of Ohio’s recruits, Chris Carson, a 6-1, 190-pound running back from Lillburn, Ga., was the mostly highly rated among virtually all scouting services, but he reportedly will play for Georgia Military Academy this fall. ESPN, Rivals and 247Sports all listed Carson as a three-star recruit. He... <Read More>

“It was probably as complete a ballgame as we’ve played for some time,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “I think our guys came with great intensity.”

The Bobcats (9-4) racked up a bowl-record 556 yards of offense, while the defense picked off Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year Keith Browning three times in the first half and finished with five sacks on their way to their second straight bowl victory.

SHREVEPORT, La. – With a month to prepare – and heal – the Ohio football team hopes to change the course of the end of its season with a victory against Louisiana-Monroe in the Independence Bowl on Friday.

Hammered by injuries, the Bobcats (8-4) lost four of their last five games, but are hoping to have some injured starters back against the Warhawks (8-4). This biggest gain could be on the defensive line, where Neal Huynh and Carl Jones are hopeful to play. Defensive end Tremayne Scott has missed the last seven games.

KENT, Ohio – Kent State scored a pair of defensive touchdowns in building a 21-point first quarter lead, rolling to a 28-6 regular season finale victory against Ohio on Friday.

Luke Wollet returned a Beau Blankenship fumble 50 yards for the game’s first score less than two minutes in and C.J. Malauulu returned a Tyler Tettleton interception 33 yards for a score at the 5:59 mark in the first quarter.

The Bobcats did not pass last week’s test, falling to Bowling Green, 26-14. Now, they will try to play the role of spoiler against Ball State, which still is in the West Division title hunt after knocking off Toledo last week.

Ball State ranks second in the MAC in yards per game at 470.5 and third in the league in scoring at 33.7 per game.

“There’s no question they are one of the top offensive teams in the MAC,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “And we’ll see at the end of the year where they’re at. They can run and they can throw and they have good people doing both of those. It’s a... <Read More>

Ohio punters mishandled two snaps and had two other punts blocked, the Bobcats managed only 244 yards of offense and the Falcons’ Anthon Samuel rushed for a career-high 181 yards.

With the defeat, the Bobcats (8-2, 4-2 Mid-American Conference) fall two losses behind Kent State in the MAC East and one behind the Falcons (7-3, 5-1 MAC), making their chances of returning to Detroit for the league championship game very slim.

The Falcons lead the Mid-American Conference in all four major defensive statistics, allowing only 15.2 points and 290.0 yards per game. Opponents have rushed for just 104.2 yards and passed for 185.8 per game.

“This will be, I think, probably the best defense we’ve played,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “That’s saying a lot. Penn State had a great front seven. But these guys have played Florida very well. If you look at them the last four or five games, they’ve really shut people down. The last two games, I think they’ve given up something like three points.

ATHENS, Ohio – Ohio forced 31 turnovers and held Mercyhurst to 27.3 percent shooting, rolling to an 82-42 exhibition victory Saturday at The Convo.

D.J. Cooper led Ohio’s harassment of Mercyhurst’s ball handling with four steals and he also dished out nine assists while scoring seven points on 3-of-5 shooting. The Bobcats shot 50 percent, but minus Kellogg, they were off the mark from deep (3 of 20).

The Bobcats (7-1, 3-1 Mid-American Conference) lost their first game of the year, losing their top-25 ranking and their place atop the MAC East Standings, with a 23-20 defeat at Miami, with the clock expiring on a sack with Ohio in field goal range.

Tettleton led Ohio down the field with 1:24 to go and the Bobcats (7-1, 3-1 Mid-American Conference) chose to take one shot at the end zone with nine seconds left.

The Bobcats are seeking their seventh straight victory in the series, which included a 21-14 victory at Peden Stadium last year.

“It’s a long-time rivalry,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “It’s important to Miami. It’s important to Ohio. It’s obviously important to fans. But when you look at football games, every game’s important regardless of who you are or how well you’re doing.”

Jerrod Dillard caught touchdown passes of 6 and 5 yards in the fourth quarter from quarterback Dalton Williams to help the Zips (1-6, 0-3 MAC) make it close. His final score on fourth-and-goal made it 34-28 with 1:55 remaining.
