This Saturday, the Ohio Bobcats finally will have someone else to hit. The 2017 football season begins at Peden Stadium against the Hampton University Pirates.
Week 1 is up for grabs by any team, and Ohio knows that just as much as any other team. Last season, the Bobcats began the year with a loss at home to Texas State in a game that should have been a victory. Ohio will be in a similar situation Saturday against Hampton with another winnable game.
The Bobcats were recently picked to win the Mid-American Conference East Division in the MAC Coaches Poll, but won’t have to deal with a conference opponent until Sept.
