The Cleveland Plain Dealer has reported that Cleveland Glenville High School defensive lineman Sam McKnight has given a verbal commitment to Ohio. The 6-1, 242-pounder chose the Bobcats over offers from Akron, Buffalo, BG, Georgia Tech and Toledo.

Cincinnati Princeton wide receiver Elijah Ball announced his commitment to the Bobcats on his Twitter account. The 6-1, 185-pounder went with the Bobcats over offers from Cincinnati, UConn, Western Michigan, Akron, Kent State, Bowling Green, Temple and Eastern Michigan.

OXFORD – Second chances do not always come around, but Josiah Yazdani made the most of his.

After missing less than two minutes earlier from 42 yards, Yazdani kicked a game-winning 28-yard field goal as time expired to rally the Bobcats from a 21-point deficit and to a 24-21 victory against rival Miami on Tuesday night at Yager Stadium.

It was the third game-winning field goal of the year for Yazdani, with the Bobcats beginning and ending the regular season on go-ahead kicks as the clock r...

ATHENS – Replay reversed a fumble call and ended Ohio’s attempted drive for a touchdown to tie the game, and the Bobcats fell 21-14 to Northern Illinois in single-digit wind chill temperatures Tuesday night at Peden Stadium.

The loss leaves the Bobcats (5-6, 3-4 Mid-American Conference) still one win short of bowl eligibility and keeps the Huskies (9-2, 6-1 MAC) in position to win the MAC West.

“It’s certainly a disappointing loss for our players,” Ohio coach Frank Solich said. “I feel ba...

ATHENS – As healthy as it has been all year, Ohio rolled to a 37-14 victory against Buffalo on a rainy Wednesday night at Peden Stadium.

Ohio (5-5, 3-3 Mid-American Conference) limited Buffalo to 134 yards of offense and seven first downs, and took advantage of four turnovers and a bad snap to run away from the struggling Bulls (3-6, 1-4 MAC).

A.J. Ouellete, finally back to 100 percent health, rushed 29 times for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Derrius Vick, making his first...

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Derrius Vick returned from injury and gave Ohio a spark offensively in the second half but it was not nearly enough as Western Michigan ran away with a 42-21 victory against the Bobcats on Saturday at Waldo Stadium.

JD Sprague started at quarterback, but Vick, who was the starter until an injury but practiced all week, took over after Sprague got hurt and was ineffective. With Ohio playing from behind, Ohio was forced to throw a lot, and Vick went 18 of 31 for 246 yards wit...

ATHENS – Jovon Johnson’s fumble recovery set up Josiah Yazdani’s game-winning 22-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining and Ohio defeated Akron for the eighth straight time, 23-20, on Saturday at Peden Stadium.

With the game tied at 20, Devin Bass forced the fumble by Andrew Pratt near midfield, and after picking it up, Johnson returned it 24 yards to the Akron 21-yard line.

"The first thing was to get the ball,” Johnson said. “I tried to pick it up the first time and bobbled it, so I fell an...

ATHENS – Ohio dominated many of the statistics coach Frank Solich thought would get the Bobcats a win, but penalties and a handful of big plays for Bowling Green led it to a relatively comfortable 31-13 victory Saturday on the Bobcats’ homecoming at Peden Stadium.

The struggling Bobcats offense racked up 513 yards on a school-record 110 plays and held the high-powered Falcons offense was limited to 355 yards. Ohio had more first downs, 29-19, and had nearly double the possession time of Bowli...

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Thomas Rawls and Titus Davis combined for more than 400 yards of offense to more than double Ohio’s team production as Central Michigan rolled to a 28-10 victory Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Playing without starting quarterback Derrius Vick and running back A.J. Ouellette, the Bobcats (3-3, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) got nothing going on offense and were limited to 187 yards and eight first downs. Meanwhile, the senior pair for the Chippewas did plenty. Rawls ra...

ATHENS – A.J. Ouellette and JD Sprague each ran for two touchdowns in their first career starts and Ohio cruised to a 34-19 victory against Eastern Illinois on Saturday at Peden Stadium.

The Bobcats led 21-3 less than a minute into the second quarter and the FCS-level Panthers never threatened an upset.

The game Ouellette had last week against Idaho after he took over following an early Daz’mond Patterson fumble earned the former walk-on freshman the starting role and he excelled again wit...
