Historically, the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-3, 0-1 MAC) have usually had the upper hand on the Ohio University Bobcats (4-1, 1-0 MAC) when it comes to meeting on the gridiron.
In 32 meetings since 1972, the Chips have won 25 of those matchups in this cross-divisonal rivalry, including the most recent three matchups (2013, 2014 and 2016.) Alas, that’s what the history books say.
Fast-forward to 2017 and Ohio is in prime position could snap the three-game skid against CMU and claim their first victory since 2001 over the Maroon and Gold.
