ATHENS – An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty forced trailing Ohio to punt, and it did not get the ball back as the Bobcats suffered another homecoming loss to Central Michigan 30-27 on Saturday at Peden Stadium.

Daniel Richardson’s 28-yard touchdown pass to Kalil Pimpleton put the Chippewas on top with 3:55 remaining. On the ensuing drive, quarterback Armani Rogers threw incomplete to Isiah Cox, and displeased with no pass interference call, Ohio’s sideline was called for unsportsmanlike condu...
