The Bobcats football team won the Mid-American Conference East Division championship and played in the Little Ceasar’s Pizza Bowl against Marshall.

Ohio’s schedule this season includes trips to Marshall and Ohio State.

Ford guided Ohio to a stunning MAC Tournament championship this past season and then the Bobcats pulled off the biggest shocker of the NCAA Tournament with a 14-point rout of third-seeded Georgetown.

The public is invited.
