Bobcats bomb UMass, 58-42, with record-setting offense
Nathan Rourke’s day, and Ohio’s in general, turned out far better than it started.
In fact, no offense in Ohio history has had a better day
The Bobcats wiped out a pair of 14-point first-quarter deficits, and Rourke shook off a pick-6 on his first pass attempt, as Ohio stomped UMass, 58-42, at sun-drenched Peden Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Ohio (2-2) got back to .500 on a day when it set a single-game Bobcats record with 664 yards of total offense. OU also set a stadium record with 58 points, and both Rourke and senior running back Maleek Irons set career-highs in rushing yardage.
