- Starting Wednesday and for the next 12 days I will be releasing an opponents preview on the Bobcat Blog for every single team Bobcats football will face this season. Combined with research and talking to a beat reporter from each one of Ohio’s opponents, I’ve tried to mix together statistics as well as the latest injury and depth chart news for each team. At the end of each report on the opponent I’ll provide a consensus breakdown of the contest. Plus, for fans making the trip to Ohio’s six road games there will be suggested food stops as well. I hope you enjoy it—feedback in any variety is always welcome. Tomorrow I look at the contest with Connecticut.
- In case you missed it, Russ Eisenstein chatted with former ‘Cats slugger Marc Krauss recently. He is hitting .304 with two home runs and 17 RBIs in 32 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks Class-A affiliate South Bend (IN).
- Ohio football commit Kyle Snyder was ranked by Rivals.com as the 11th best quarterback prospect in the state of Ohio.
