After a dormant second half performance at Cincinnati, the Ohio Bobcats got the offensive revival the program needed heading into conference play.
Frank Solich’s program clawed back from an early 21-7 deficit to outpace UMass’ offense in a 58-42 offensive shootout. Just one year ago, the two teams combined for 108 points in Ohio’s 58-50 victory. Once again, the matchup proves to be a defensive coordinator’s nightmare, becoming the seventh 100-point game of the season.
A 39-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Ford to Andy Isabella launched the Minutemen to a 7-0 lead on their opening possession.
