The Central Michigan Chippewas headed to Athens to take on a previously unbeaten Ohio Bobcats team. The home crowd was hyped, as Ohio announced the day before the game that tickets would be free. The Bobcats were coming off a big win against Buffalo, and were ready to take on the best team in the conference.
It was a game of runs, as the Chippewas raced out to a huge lead, before the Bobcats would battle back. However, each time the Chippewas made a run, the Bobcat would counter, but their run would be a little smaller.
