Ohio then went up two scores on a one-yard option keeper by Armani Rodgers that was set up by a 24-yard pass from Rourke to Cox. Akron responded with a drive that was aided by 27 rushing yards from Dollard, but Ohio got a fourth down stop on its own side of the field.Īfter a series of punts for both sides, Ohio once again set up for a punt after a failed run up the middle on third down, but Jeremiah Knight fumbled the return, allowing Jarran Hampton to pick it up, putting the ‘Cats back in business. Ohio wasted no time to score on the opening drive as Kurtis Rourke found Shane Hooks for a 7-yard third down conversion and a 40-yard bomb, which set up a Tuggle 9-yard scamper for a touchdown. Akron’s Teon Dollard showed out as well with 165 yards on the ground, but Keye Thompson was the difference in the game for the ‘Cats as he registered six tackles, a sack, and an interception.
The teams combined for three missed field goals and Akron turned the ball over three times, but Ohio managed to escape with the win thanks to 139 yards and two touchdowns from De’Montre Tuggle. Tuesday night’s game between the Ohio Bobcats (1-1) and the Akron Zips (0-2) was not for the feint of heart.
