Bobcats look to improve road performance at Eastern Michigan
In this file photo from Ohio's Sept. 1 victory over Hampton, Nathan Rourke, Quarterback of Ohio University, makes an audible.For the sake of the Ohio Bobcats, their second road game of the season should go much better than the loss at Purdue in week two. Ohio will travel to Ypsilanti, Michigan, the home of the Eastern Michigan Eagles. It is Ohio’s first meeting with a Mid-American Conference (MAC) opponent in 2017.
The Bobcats (2-1) and the Eagles (2-0) are both coming off victories against Power Five teams. Ohio defeated Kansas 42-30 on Saturday and Eastern Michigan, who did not have a game in week three, had its most recent win at Rutgers (16-13) on Sept. 9.
