Scouting the Bobcats

Quarterback
Junior Theo Scott returns as the starter. He came in part way through the season, as a junior college transfer, splitting time with Brad Bower. With the departure of Bower, Scott will help the team continue with the switch from option to pass attack. Last year he was 57% for 753 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Runningback
Junior Chris Garrett will lead the running game this season. He was the number three back last year, after converting from wide receiver. This unit as a whole will be down, with the top two backs gone. Garrett had a total of 99 yards last year, and last week he had 30 yards.

Kicker
Senior Barrett Way is the place kicker, after sitting out a year, due to a transfer from VMI. At VMI he was 10 of 12 in 2006. So far this year he is 2 of 2 on FGs and 2 of 2 on PATs. Sophomore Schulte averaged 37.6 net last year, and last week he averaged 47 on two punts.

Defense
The defensive line is led by junior Jameson Hartke who leads the team with 13 sacks. Leading in the secondary is cornerback Mark Parson with 24 career pass breakups.

Last Game
Ohio came up short at Wyoming, coming home with a loss 21-20. Ohio was led Taylor Price with 14 catches for 139 yards. Donte Harden returned a 100-yard kickoff for a touchdown. Wyoming took the lead with just over 7:00 left in the fourth. Ohio had 12 penalties for 115 yards.
