Ohio-North Texas Game Notes

The Ohio football squad travels to the Lone Star state Saturday night for a 7 p.m. ET (6 p.m. CT) kickoff against North Texas. This is the first-ever meeting between the two schools and only the fourth contest for the Bobcats against a Texas school. 

Ohio dropped a hard-fought 23-16 contest to Connecticut last weekend in front of a record crowd at Peden Stadium. Ohio quarterbacks Theo Scott and Boo Jackson both had touchdown passes, while the Bobcat defense picked off three passes and held the Huskies to just 127 yards through the air. Redshirt senior linebacker Lee Renfro led Ohio with 12 tackles, which included two tackles for loss with one sack.

The Mean Green defeated MAC foe Ball State 20-10 on ESPNU last Thursday night in Muncie, Ind. UNT got a rushing touchdown from Lance Dunbar, while quarterback Riley Dodge completed 23 of 33 passes for 216 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Linebacker Craig Robertson also had 12 stops, with 1.5 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup.

Fans may also listen to the game on the Citizens Bank Ohio ISP Sports Network with "Voice of the Bobcats" Russ Eisenstein, Rob Cornelius and Caleb Troop calling all of Saturday's action.
