The Ohio football team travels to Lexington, Kentucky for a Saturday night matchup with the University of Kentucky. The Bobcats (2-4 Overall, 1-2 MAC) are coming off their best performance of the season. True freshman quarterback Austen Everson accounted for all four scores in Ohio's 28-0 shutout of UCF last week. The Kentucky Wildcats (2-4, 0-3 SEC), meanwhile, are looking to get back on track after near misses against Florida and South Carolina in its last two games.

Both teams enter the co...

Kentucky backup quarterback Shane Boyd proved to be the difference as he helped his team to a 35-14 win over Ohio Saturday night at Commonwealth Stadium. Boyd, in relief of ineffective starter Jared Lorenzen, ran for two scores, threw for one and caught one. The Bobcats (2-5 Overall, 1-2 MAC) again were forced to go with true freshman Austen Everson at quarterback. Everson, who shined last week against UCF, had a tougher time against a strong Kentucky defense. He threw for 147 yards with a touch...

Ohio recorded its first home shutout since 1997 as it blanked UCF 28-0 on Homecoming Saturday afternoon in Peden Stadium. On a day when many familiar faces returned to Athens it was a new face that led the Bobcats (2-4 Overall, 1-2 MAC). True freshman quarterback Austen Everson, starting for the injured Fred Ray and Ryan Hawk, ran for 3 TD's and passed for another to account for all of Ohio's scoring. For the game, the 6-2, 220-pounder from Brentwood, Tennessee ran for 130 yards on 21 carries an...

Ohio tries to shake a four game losing skid as it hosts UCF for Homecoming Saturday afternoon at Peden Stadium. The Bobcats (1-4 Overall, 0-2 MAC) have held leads late the last two games against Western Michigan and Northern Illinois but were unable to close the deal. QB Fred Ray and HB Stafford Owens both left the Northern Illinois game with first quarter injuries and are questionable for UCF. Junior QB Ryan Hawk and freshman HB Chris Jackson filled in admirably for the two in last Saturday's h...

Ohio travels to DeKalb, Illinois for a Saturday night matchup with #17 Northern Illinois. The Bobcats (1-3 Overall, 0-1 MAC) are trying to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Western Michigan in their conference opener. The Huskies (4-0, 0-0) open MAC play after being the conference's flagship BCS-killer. NIU has beaten Maryland, Iowa St. and Alabama to earn the program's first-ever Top 25 ranking.

Ohio has won three straight in its series with NIU. The last meeting came in Athens in 199...

Ohio couldn't hold off 17th-ranked Northern Illinois late as the Huskies came from behind for a 30-23 overtime win Saturday night in Dekalb, Illinois. NIU tied the game at 23 on P.J. Fleck's 15-yard touchdown catch on a 4th and 4 with 1:42 left to play. Josh Haldi's 1-yard quarterback sneak put the Huskies up 30-23 in overtime and the Bobcats were unable to answer.

The script was familiar, as Ohio turned the ball over early and fell behind its opponent. This time, however, the Cats responded in fine fashion after falling behind 17-0 to WMU Saturday at Peden Stadium. Trailing 31-20 as the third quarter ended, Ohio (0-1 MAC, 1-3 overall) took the lead 32-31 with 8:58 left in the game.

The comeback was short-lived, as WMU scored within a minute-and-a-half, taking a 39-32 lead on Phil Reed's 1-yard touchdown with 7:29 remaining. WMU's winning drive was only...

When Western Michigan steps into Peden Stadium Saturday for the 4 p.m. game against the Ohio Bobcats, they might see a warped reflection in the Ohio locker room.

The colors of the jerseys are different; the styles of offense and defense are different. But what both teams need heading into their MAC opener is very similar: a win. Last weekend, probably for the first time in the 50-year history of the Mid-American Conference, the MAC was the top story in college football when Marshall, Toledo a...

Minnesota established ground dominance on its first possession with an nine-play, 80-yard drive to open the game and were threatened only mildly the rest of the way in a 42-20 win over Ohio at Peden Stadium.

Bolstered by two Freddie Ray touchdown runs, the Bobcats trailed 28-14 but were not able to pull closer. Ohio moved within scoring range in the third quarter, but were turned back on fourth-and-two when Ray's pass in the end zone was broken up. Minnesota then marched the distance of the f...

It'll be a Peden Stadium first when Big 10 member Minnesota takes the field to battle Ohio Saturday afternoon in Athens. The Gophers (2-0) come in having cruised past Tulsa (49-10) and Troy St. (48-7) in its first two games. The Bobcats followed up their home-opening win over Southeast Missouri St. with a disappointing 48-20 loss at Iowa State. Ohio, however, does hold a win over Minnesota when the teams last met in 2000. The Cats rushed for 363 yards as Chad Brinker rushed, caught and threw tou...
