For two weeks, the Bobcats have stewed over a loss at Ball State, but back in Athens should help on Saturday. Home cooking has worked for Ohio, 3-0 at Peden Stadium, and across the last two piled up 87 points vs. Gardner Webb and Bowling Green. Earlier, there was a 17-10 win over Rich-Rod's West Virginia. The Bobcats have balance, rushing for nearly 200 ypg, while QB Parker Navarro remains an established dual-threat and MAC champ from last December. As much of an attraction here is bucking NIU, with one of the nation's worst offenses, scoring barely 10 ppg, no reliable QB, no passing attack, and absent the solid infantry that has marked some of Thomas Hammock's previous DeKalb entries.
