The Ohio Bobcats may have given the football world a good look at what the team can deliver in 2017 during their 42-30 defeat of the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday afternoon in a nationally televised game.

Ohio (2-1) had a 100-yard rusher, a 100-yard receiver, two 100-yard passers and a banged-up defense that did not break despite bending a bit toward the end.

Nathan Rourke, a junior-college transfer from Canada, served as quarterback backup for Quinton Maxwell in the first two games of the season.
