Ohio will look to push its winning streak to three games Saturday on the road against Kent State in a Mid-American Conference East Division battle.

Ohio and Miami will meet Saturday in The Convo for the 206th “Battle of the Bricks” meeting, but there’s not much intrigue surrounding either team in this season’s first installment of the Mid-American Conference East Division rivalry.
Ohio ended national signing day on Wednesday with 15 recruits who will arrive for coach Frank Solich’s 16th season at the helm of the Bobcats. 11 of those recruits signed their letters of intent in December during the early signing period, and four more players joined the program on the first official day of the traditional signing period.

Ohio will look to snap out of a slump Tuesday night when it travels to DeKalb, Illinois, for a matchup against Northern Illinois from the Mid-American Conference West Division.

Ohio will host perhaps the best team in the Mid-American Conference on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes Akron to The Convo.

Jeff Boals has been tasked all season long with a predicament that not many coaches want to go through in their first year with a new program.
Ohio had a chance to show it could separate itself from the bottom of the Mid-American Conference if it could muster a win against Toledo on Tuesday night in The Convo.

Ohio will look to bring its Mid-American Conference record to .500 Tuesday when it welcomes West Division opponent Toledo to The Convo. The Bobcats (10-8, 2-3 MAC) are in fifth place in the East Division after five games and have two conference wins on their resume, but both victories came against Eastern Michigan, who has yet to win a MAC contest.
