The Ohio Bobcats' success last year was a bit unexpected. An 8-5 record wasn't exactly unexpected, but how the Bobcats got to 8-5 was. Ohio finished last season with three straight wins aginst Kent State, Ball State and Northern Illinois to secure a bowl appearance in the Camellia Bowl.
But a number of key players - namely linebacker Jovon Johnson, cornerback Ian Wells and running back Daz Patterson - are gone and Ohio is left hoping it can recreate last season's success.
Saturday, September 3 vs. Texas State (3-9)
Ohio should absolutely cruise here.
