LAFAYETTE – Louisiana scored on the last play of the first half and twice on fourth down while running away with a 49-14 victory against winless Ohio on Thursday night at Cajun Field.

Despite a bad start, the Bobcats (0-3) had a chance to stay in the game but could not get key goal-line stops as the Ragin’ Cajuns (2-1) piled up 562 yards of offense.

Montrell Johnson kept his balance as he spun off of a defender and fell down the ground short of the goal line, but the ball was ruled to have...

ATHENS – A fade pass to Ryan Luehrman on a potential game-tying two-point conversion try was broken up, and penalty-riddled Ohio lost to an FCS opponent for the first time since 2002 with a 28-26 defeat against Duquesne on Saturday at Peden Stadium.

Kurtis Rourke completed a 3-yard touchdown pass to Ty Walton with 9 seconds left to give the Bobcats a chance to rally from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit, but a defender was able to prevent Luehrman from making a similar catch near the right s...

ATHENS – Ohio’s offense produced yards but not touchdowns in a season-opening 29-9 loss to Syracuse to begin the Tim Albin coaching era on Saturday night at Peden Stadium.

The Bobcats had 346 yards of offense and moved inside the Orange 35-yard line six times but settled for only three field goals.

It was the first game as head coach for Alban after Frank Solich stepped aside after 16 years at the helm less than two months ago because of health issues. Solich was honored before the game, w...

ATHENS – Playing for the first time in 18 days, Ohio ran up a huge halftime lead and blew out Bowling Green 52-10 on Saturday at Peden Stadium.

De’Montre Tuggle ran 15 times for 185 yards and three touchdowns, and the Bobcats (2-1) scored a first-half touchdown on special teams and then nearly on defense as well in the blowout of the short-handed Falcons, who had multiple players suspended this past week.

"I thought it was a complete ball game by really the offense, defense, special team u...

ATHENS – After failing to put Akron away on multiple occasions, Ohio turned to De’Montre Tuggle to get the job done.

He carried the ball all nine plays of a 70-yard drive capped by his 1-yard touchdown run for the clinching touchdown of the Bobcats’ 24-10 victory against the Zips on Tuesday night at Peden Stadium.

"We celebrate every win," Ohio coach Frank Solich said. "The other team wants to win, too. We celebrate every win. We also understand that we're making it hard on ourselves, and...

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan’s defense held late and the Chippewas open the season with a 30-27 victory against Ohio on Tuesday night at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Jarren Hampton's tackle for no game on fourth-and-1 gave the Bobcats possession with 2:10 remaining at their own 33-yard line, and Ohio moved inside the Central Michigan 30-yard line. A questionable holding penalty, though, negated a Kurtis Rourke run inside the 15. On fourth down, Troy Brown broke up a pass intended for Rya...
