For the last time, one of the winningest senior classes in Ohio football history will take the field at Peden Stadium.
The Bobcats host Buffalo tonight in their final home game of the season. It is Senior Night, and all of the graduating seniors will be honored before the game.
It's your last home game. It's your last time to make an impression that you've been here for four or five years
senior quarterback Boo Jackson said. It means a lot to a lot of guys.
Safety Donovan Fletcher is one of Ohio's four captains. His steady progression has peaked this year, as he is tied for third in the Football Bowl Subdivision with five interceptions.
This being the last time I'm going to play on this field I'll probably remember every play just me being detailed and everything
Fletcher said. But with that being said
I gotta make sure I'm just focused on the game.
Coach Frank Solich said in his Monday news conference that tonight's game would be emotionally charged. But he said that emotion could potentially be negative if it carries over on to the field.
We gotta guard against that some. But other than that
it should be a good MAC football game
Solich said Monday.
But Jackson said he isn't worried about anything distracting the team from playing its best football.
I think it's just going to make us play harder
Jackson said. You want to leave your best impression on your last game in front of everybody.
This year's senior class has 25 wins, a Mid-American Conference East Division championship and has been bowl eligible three times.
Tied for first place in the East with two games remaining, the Bobcats have a chance to add to those accolades.
We know that each game is going to be for MAC Championship
said senior cornerback Julian Posey. We know that as a unit
as a senior class
on offense and defense
