After starting 10 games at inside linebacker as a true freshman, Spencer Tatum missed the entire 2003 campaign recovering from hip surgery. Rollie Merriman spent a few minutes with the sophomore from Lafayette, Louisiana who's rehabbing and getting ready for Spring Practice.

Ohio football coach Brian Knorr scored a recruiting victory when he received a verbal commitment from Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More defensive back Dustin Tatum. Dustin, the brother of Ohio linebacker Spencer Tatum, chose Ohio over Syracuse. As a senior, Tatum had 45 tackles, 7 pass break-ups and an interception. The 5-11, 175-pounder runs a 4.4 40-yard dash and also had scholarship offers from Mississippi St. and Cincinnati.

The Ohio (2-9 Overall, 1-6 MAC) football team concludes its season when it travels to Huntington, West Virginia Friday afternoon to take on Marshall (7-4, 5-2) in the annual Battle for the Bell. This year's Battle for the Bell could be more aptly named the Disappointment Bowl. After a 2002 season that saw Ohio post a 4-4 MAC record, this was to be the year the Bobcats stepped back into the MAC elite. Instead, the inability to close games and injuries have the Cats riding a 5-game losing streak a...

Ohio suffered a 49-31 loss to 18th-ranked Miami Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium. The 49 points are the most scored by either team in the 80 meetings between the two schools. The RedHawks' Ben Roethlisberger completed 19 of 28 passes for 294 yards and four touchdowns in leading his team to a 49-10 lead. The Bobcats' Austen Everson, the fourth Ohio quarterback used on the day, engineered 21 fourth-quarter points.

For the the second straight game Ohio couldn't hold a fourth quarter lead. This time it was Joshua Cribbs' 7-yard TD run with 1:29 left that gave Kent State a 37-33 win over the Bobcats Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium.

The Ohio football team will look to shake off its loss to Buffalo as it hosts Kent St. Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium. The Bobcats (2-6 Overall, 1-3 MAC) are looking to snap a 2-game losing streak and will likely have to do so without starting quarterback Fred Ray. Ray aggravated a right shoulder injury against Buffalo. Ryan Hawk and Austen Everson split snap in practice this week.
