Ohio defenders going for the gold, literally
Pictured is the ‘Turnover Belt’ which is awarded to the Ohio defensive player who comes up with an interception or fumble recovery during team portions of the Bobcats’ practice in fall camp.It’s shiny, it’s gold and it’s the most coveted item on the field for the defensive unit during each and every practice.
It’s a replica belt from the WWE — a world heavyweight champion belt no less — and the Bobcats hope its presence leads to fireworks during the 2018 season. It’s simply called ‘The Turnover Belt’ and something even head coach Frank Solich took note of during the early days of fall camp.
Solich doesn’t know all the details, yet, but he’s a fan nonetheless.
