Ohio wrestling coach Joel Greenlee began his collegiate wrestling career as a freshman at Northern Iowa, a perennial wrestling powerhouse he proclaimed is the university’s “premiere program.”
The Mid-American Conference landscape will undergo a landscape change next season with the addition of three teams.
Throughout the Bobcats’ last four games, they have amassed 66 shots, half of which were on goal, 37 corners and only four regulation goals. The number of times the ball is blasted to the twine is Ohio’s chief focus as it enters Mid-American Conference play Friday.
Scott Stricklin didn’t fully realize his dream of becoming the coach of his alma mater until he was on his way to his interview at Kent State.
Historically, the Mid-American Conference has been a hotbed for talented quarterbacks like Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich and Ben Roethlisberger.
Despite entering the weekend with a four-match winning streak, including 12 consecutive set victories, Ohio fell to a pair of Atlantic Coastal
With less than a minute remaining in Ohio and Marshall’s 56th Battle for the Bell meeting, Thundering Herd sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato had the Bobcats right where he wanted: deep in their territory with the ball in his hands.
After using the top runners on each Ohio cross country team in last weekend’s Harry Groves Invitational, this meet served as an opportunity to rest up and gain some experience for next weekend’s meet.
Ohio dominated every facet of its game against Robert Morris Saturday, and owned every stat on the score sheet, but the game’s final score wasn’t indicative of how the Bobcats outplayed the Colonials.
Ohio squares off against Marshall in the Battle for Bell rivalry. Ohio leads the series 30-19-9. The Thundering Herd feature a prolific passing attack led by Rakeem Cato. Ohio's offense is not pedestrian either. The ground game is spearheaded by Beau Blankenship who has run for 277 yards on 58 carries.
In 2010, the University of Dayton released a video with the concept of “flying right” both in the classroom and on the field. Former Flyer and current Bobcat junior forward Maggie Murnane would have made the video proud Friday.
The opening kickoff by Matt Weller that resulted in a touchback and a couple defensive stops on running plays were the only positives for Ohio on the game's first drive.
Eleven plays before Tyler Tettleton gave Ohio its first lead of the game with less than a minute left in the second quarter, he lined up under center with a Marshall blitz breathing down his neck in a third-and-six situation. He dropped back and rocketed a spiral to redshirt sophomore wide receiver Chase Cochran. It fell incomplete, but as the ball dropped to the turf, so did a flag signaling defensive pass interference and a new set of downs.
Having won their last 12 sets played during their four-game win streak, the Ohio volleyball team kept the streak alive in the first match of a three-match trip in North Carolina.
Day in and day out Ohio defenders go head-to-head with the Bobcats’ hurry-up offense, leaving defenders drenched in sweat, and more conditioned than many of their opponents.
Earlier this week, I spoke with the Marshall Parthenon’s football beat writers, assistant sports editor Adam Rogers and sports editor Jeremy Johnson, about their expectations for Saturday’s Battle for the Bell showdown. Here’s part of the transcript, edited for content and clarity.
With Mid-American Conference play a week away, the Ohio Bobcats soccer team will take on Youngstown State for its last non-conference test of the season.
Coming off a sweep of its opposition in the Bobcat Invitational and finishing a home stand, the Ohio volleyball team will hit the road and travel to the Tar Heel state to take on UNC Greensboro tonight.
Tim Knavel, who began his job as Ohio Athletics’ CFO and assistant athletic director for business operations Monday, arrived in Athens just in time for the Bobcats’ football game two days prior. The only letdown of his night, he said, was that he missed kickoff.
