Senior QB and WR tandem Kurtis Rourke and Sam Wiglusz connected for a touchdown in the third quarter and freshman kicker Gianni Spetic scored the decisive field goal in the fourth quarter.

Last season, Rourke threw for 21 touchdowns and 2,725 yards, completed nearly 69% of his passes, and possesses dual-threat capability. He threw just four interceptions in 353 passing attempts, as well. Ohio has two legit receiving threats in former Ohio State transfer Wiglusz (73 receptions for 877 yards and 11 TDs) and Jacoby Jones (45 receptions for 776 yards and six TDs), plus a couple of reliable running backs in Sieh Bangura (222 carries for 1,078 yards and 13 TDs) and O’Shaan Allison, who is back after missing all of 2022 with a shoulder injury.
The Bobcats' defense turned a corner in the second half of last season. After allowing 561 yards per game over their first six games, they didn’t give up more than 390 in any of their last eight. The defense will be led by the secondary, which also welcomes Holy Cross transfer safety Walter Reynolds (175 tackles, 10 picks, and 30 passes defended in four years with the Crusaders).
