Despite an abysmal offensive performance Tuesday night in Athens, the Ohio Bobcats will travel to Detroit to play in the Mid-American Conference. Ohio beat the Akron Zips 9-3 at Peden Stadium.
With 16 seconds left in the game, Ohio cornerback Bradd Ellis knocked down a fourth-down pass attempt in the end zone from Akron quarterback Tyrell Goodman. Ohio recovered the ball on downs and took a kneel to seal its fourth MAC Eastern division title in 12 seasons under head coach Frank Solich.
Solich can’t be too happy with the way Ohio (8-4, 6-2 MAC) played, but it was enough to punch the ’Cats’ ticket into the MAC championship game at Ford Field on Friday, Dec.
