Ohio falls in 3-OT epic, 56-54

The first-ever Bobcat Bowl turned out to be a day to forget for Ohio University.

Visiting Texas State, a three-touchdown underdog, rallied from a 10-point deficit with less than 11 minutes remaining to stun Ohio 56-54 in a triple overtime epic inside Peden Stadium on Saturday.

The game was an incredible whirlwind of big plays, dramatic plot twists, and — for Ohio — gut punches. It was the first three overtime game in the history of Ohio football — 122 seasons — and one that won’t be soon forgotten by the few of the nearly capacity crowd that stuck around until the end of the 4.
