The Ohio Bobcats continue their non-conference Solich-era tour through the Football Championship Series (FCS) by hosting the Rhode Island (URI) Rams. Ohio has hosted an FCS opponent every year of the Solich area except for his first. This will be the first meeting between the Bobcats and the Rams in the Solich era.
Most of those meetings with the FCS have more-or-less gone as some members of the media and fans might have presumed as Ohio is undefeated in the Solich era against the FCS, 13-0.
Ohio fans may be less sure about the outcome against "Rhody" after the Howard Bison stampeded into Peden Stadium last year with another idea, taking a lead into halftime.
