BOWLING GREEN — An ignominious record arrived on the most forgettable of nights.
Ohio scored touchdown after touchdown against Bowling Green on Nov. 19, and by the end of the Bobcats’ 66-24 drubbing of BG at Doyt Perry Stadium, most of the few fans in attendance were long gone. The game meant nothing in terms of the Mid-American Conference title race, but it assured something different: It officially became the worst four-year stretch in the 100-year history of Bowling Green football.
After the game, coach Scot Loeffler was at his wit’s end during a particularly frustrating stretch, saying he had reached a point of complete clarity with the program that he had agreed to lead 356 days earlier.
