Through 3 Quarters
Their last head-to-head October of 2017 was close, and so far it looks like that's how the Ohio Bobcats and the Central Michigan Chippewas will finish this one. Ohio and CMU are deadlocked at 27-27 after three quarters, promising an exciting conclusion. The Bobcats have been led by WR Isiah Cox, who so far has caught four passes for one TD and 102 yards.
Cox has led the way so far for Ohio, as he has caught four passes for one TD and 102 yards. Kurtis Rourke's 58-yard touchdown toss to Cox in the second quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.
Ohio might have shot themselves in the foot by missing a PAT kick in the second quarter. We'll see if that point ends up being a decisive factor in the final outcome.
