Ohio tight end Jordan Thompson's 21 catches for 204 yards and three scores earned him All-MAC Second Team honors a year ago. His work in the classroom earned him Academic All-MAC honors. Named a captain for the 2011 season, Thompson talked with BobcatAttack at the team's Media Day.

ATHENS – The Ohio football team hopes it learned something from last season’s blowout New Orleans Bowl loss to Troy.

After watching the Trojans rack up more than 600 yards against them, the Bobcats decided to implement the no-huddle, up-tempo offense that worked so well against them.

“I think we can catch a lot of teams out of defense or blowing assignments,” Ohio wide receiver LaVon Brazill said. “I think that will be a good thing to put that high-tempo offense on them.”

Like teammate Noah Keller, LaVon Brazill had a 2010 season that started with promise and ended with injury. He starts this year with a chance to become Ohio's all-time receptions leader. Brazill needs 35 catches to pass Taylor Price's all-time mark of 149. The Lantana, Florida product talked with BobcatAttack about the upcoming season at the team's Media Day.

ATHENS – The Ohio football team was without three of its most heralded players throughout most of last season, and still managed to earn its second straight bowl game and came within one game of its second straight Mid-American Conference Championship Game.

This year, all three of those players, wide receiver LaVon Brazil, linebacker Noah Keller and safety Gerald Moore, are back and hoping for more than that this year.

Noah Keller entered the 2010 season with a lot of hype. Coming off a 2009 campaign that saw him lead the MAC in tackles with 155, Keller received preseason All-American honors and was named to the Nagurski Award Watch List. But injuries limited him to three games and he decided to take a redshirt year and come back to Ohio for another shot at his senior year.

The Bobcat middle linebacker from Kearney, Nebraska talked with BobcatAttack at the team's annual Media Day.

Phil Bates didn't win the starting quarterback job last season but that didn't stop the him from being an effective weapon on the field. Ohio coaches found various ways to get him 78 carries that he turned into 519 yards and three scores. The 6.7 yard average was best on the team for those that had more than 10 carries and the 519 rushing yards were just 30 behind team-leader Vince Davidson.

Defensive lineman Antwan Crutcher might be new to campus but he has his sights set on seeing the field as a true freshman. At the team's Media Day, the Cleveland Glenville High School product talked about the Bobcats upcoming campaign.

The competition for the starting quarterback job didn't last long as Coach Frank Solich named Tyler Tettleton the starter early into Fall Camp. The sophomore redshirted last season after seeing time as a true freshman during the 2009 season. The Norman, Oklahoma native sat down to talk with BobcatAttack about the 2011 season at the team's Media Day.

ATHENS, Ohio – Ohio coach Frank Solich wants a running back to step up and be a go-to player and senior Dante Harden wants to be that guy.

The Bobcats shared carries between running backs last year, but Solich would rather that not be the case this year.

“I would like to have a guy who just becomes ‘the guy,’” Solich said. “Then we can plug in the other guys as needed. I do not like the ‘by committee’ form of running backs. Last year that was kind of what we felt we had to go to.”
