PRESEASON ALL-MAC TEAM
Seven Ohio University football players were named to the 2013

Seniors Tyler Tettleton, Beau Blankenship, John Prior and Travis
Carrie each were named All-MAC Second Team. Fellow seniors
Jon Lechner and Keith Moore also received all-league honors as
they were named Third Team. Senior Donte Foster was the seventh
player from Ohio to receive Preseason All-MAC honors from Phil
Steele as he earned Fourth Team recognition.
PROTECTING THE ROCK
Ohio held a plus 15 turnover margin in 2012, which ranked
second in the MAC. The ‘Cats fi nished the season with just 10
total turnovers (fi ve fumbles and fi ve interceptions). Ohio lost
one fumble for every 119 rushing attempts and had just one
interception for every 80 passing attempts. In the Bobcats’
season-opener at Louisville, Ohio had just one turnover.
AMONG THE NATION’S BEST
Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton was one of just four quarterbacks
that threw 15 or more touchdowns and had four or less
interceptions last season. Tettleton opened the year by going 161
attempts without throwing an interception. Among the four,
Tettleton and Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron are the
only two signal-callers that return this season.

rushing. He needs just 761 yards to pass former Bobcat great and
current Green Bay Packers scout Chad Brinker for fi fth all-time on
the career rushing list.
SUCCESS IN BOWL GAMES
The Ohio football team has played in four straight bowl games and
has posted back-to-back victories. The Bobcats are one of just 15
schools in the nation that has won back-to-back bowl games.
AMONG THE BEST IN THE MAC

stretch.
1. Northern Illinois - 57
2. Ohio - 55
3. Central Michigan - 51

began construction on its indoor practice facility. The Bobcats’ old
playing surface had been in place since 2002. Ohio’s new turf was

will provide Ohio with a 100-yard fi eld for use during inclement
conditions.
HERMAN SELECTED ON DAY THREE OF THE NFL DRAFT
Former Ohio University off ensive lineman Eric Herman was
selected by the New York Giants during the third day of the 2013
NFL Draft, which was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York
City. Herman was picked 19th (225th overall) in the seventh
round. The Oregon, Ohio native becomes the 31st player in school
history to be selected in the NFL Draft and the fi fth to be taken in
the Frank Solich Era. Ohio has now had a player selected in the NFL
Draft in fi ve of the last six years.
BOBCAT RADIO READY FOR 2013
More stations and more access to content highlight additions to
the Ohio IMG Sports Network for 2013. The network boasts more
stations than any other MAC school and stretches into three states.
Eighteen stations comprise the network with 14 carrying football
games, 13 airing men’s basketball games. In addition, eight will

Growth by numbers and coverage area has been a yearly
occurrence. This year, WCJO-FM in Jackson, WYPC-AM in Wellston
and WMOV-AM in Ravenswood/Ripley, W. Va. join the network.
This is year three for the partnership with WOUB. Their stations in
Cambridge, Chillicothe, Ironton and Zanesville will carry football

network as the fl agship station, and WYTS-AM in Columbus will
begin airing ancillary programming in addition to games for the

North Texas (1-1) forced overtime with 46 seconds left when Jeremy Knott’s 18-yard fi eld goal tied it at 20-20.
Kenny Jackson gave Ohio its fi rst lead of the night with a 69-yard interception return in the fourth quarter, picking off backup quarterback Nathan Tune after starter Riley Dodge (12 of 22, 117 yards) left the game with a shoulder injury.

Bobcat Football 2013Bobcat Football 2013OHIO VS. NORTH TEXAS NOTES
-Led Ohio to back-to-back bowl wins and its fi rst ever bowl win in 2011, winning the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.-Directed Ohio to 55 wins since the start of the 2006 season.-Led Ohio to four straight bowl games.-Coached 57 All-MAC Players.-Have appeared on the ESPN Family of Networks 50 times since 2005.-2006 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year.-Served as the head coach of the Aina Team at the 2005 Hula Bowl.-1999 and 2001 Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Head Coach Frank Solich has continued a storybook turnaround during his tenure at Ohio Uni-versity. Now in his ninth season (15th overall), the Bobcats have been bowl-eligible in six of his fi rst eight years at the helm, have won 55 games since 2006 - the most among any team in the Mid-American Conference East Division - and have had student-athletes selected in the NFL Draft in fi ve of the past six seasons.
In 2012, Solich directed Ohio to its best start to a season since the 1968 campaign as the Bob-cats opened the year 7-0. The Bobcats’ 7-0 start included a thrilling 24-14 victory over Penn State in front of a nationally-televised audience.
After opening the year 7-0, Ohio earned a spot in all three major college football polls for the fi rst time in school history - Associated Press, USA Today and the Bowl Championship Series standings.
Following the 2012 campaign, Ohio placed six individuals on the 2012 Mid-American Confer-ence All-Conference teams and earned a bid to the 2012 Advocare V100 Independence Bowl to punch its ticket to a fourth-consecutive bowl trip.
In the Independence Bowl, Ohio did not disappoint as it defeated Louisiana-Monroe 45-14 to pick up its second-straight bowl victory. The Bobcats also set or tied 11 bowl records in the win, including the mark for total yards as they fi nished with 556.
The 2012 season also saw the emergence of running back Beau Blankenship. In his fi rst sea-son as a starter, Blankenship set the single season rushing record of 1,604 yards under Solich’s watch. He also rushed for 15 touchdowns as he averaged just over fi ve yards per carry.
In his seven previous seasons as Ohio’s head coach, Solich guided the Bobcats to an impressive 50-40 record. In 2011, Solich led the Bobcats to their fi rst-ever bowl win as Ohio defeated Utah State 24-23 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl to fi nish the year 10-4.
Ohio’s win over the Aggies gave the Bobcats their fi rst 10-win season since 1968. The Bobcats’ 10 wins were also the most among division I-A teams from the state of Ohio. The Bobcats four losses came by a combined total of just 19 points (4.75 points per game).
Solich’s 2011 Bobcat squad set 47 school records, won six of the team’s last seven games and had a league-best 11 players on the MAC All-Conference teams. In addition, Solich picked up his 100th career victory following a convincing 30-3 victory over Gardner-Webb on Sept. 10.
Among the 11 players selected All-MAC, place kicker Matt Weller was named Special Teams Player of the Year, off ensive lineman Joe Flading was named First Team and quarterback Tyler Tettleton became the fi rst Ohio signal-caller to be named all-league since 1985. Under Sol-ich’s watchful eye, Tettleton re-wrote Ohio’s single season record book as he set 12 records and became the fi rst quarterback in school history to pass for 3,000 yards in one year, while in the process throwing a program-best 28 touchdowns.
The 2011 campaign also saw Ohio defeat arch-rival Miami for the sixth-consecutive season - the program’s longest winning streak since it won six straight from 1937-1942. Since Solich took over in 2005, Ohio has only suff ered one loss to Miami.
When it was all said and done, the 2011 senior class posted a combined record of 36-27 to complete the best fi ve-year run in program history.
In 2010, the Bobcats went to the New Orleans Bowl, making the program’s fi fth bowl appear-ance and third in the past fi ve seasons.
Following the season, seven student-athletes were named All-MAC and quarterback Boo Jackson fi nished his career as Ohio’s career leader in completion percentage (.604), pass ef-fi ciency (136.3), total off ense per play (6.18), passing yards per attempt (7.7) and touchdown passes (38). He also fi nished the season with 26 total touchdowns, 48 in his career, which is fourth all-time. He also accumulated 18 passing touchdowns in 2010 (fourth all-time on the single-season list).
The 2009 season was equally successful as the senior class compiled 28 victories during its four years on campus. In addition, Ohio boasted a school-record 12 All-MAC selections with four capturing All-America honors en route to a second MAC East title in the squad’s last four years.

Solich was named the conference coach of the year by Phil Steele.
Following back-to-back seasons of bowl eligibility, the Bobcats followed it up with an off en-sive outburst that rewrote many of Ohio’s all-time team and individual records in Frank Sol-ich’s fourth year at the helm. In 2008, the Bobcats’ aerial attack set three school single-season passing records, including passing yards, passing yards per game and touchdown passes all of which stood until the conclusion of the 2011 season.
Overall, Ohio also totaled 4,337 yards of total off ense, which at the time was the third-highest total in school history. Following the year, six players garnered All-MAC recognition, while in the classroom, fi ve picked up Academic All-MAC awards.
Perhaps the best individual honor under Solich came with safety Mike Mitchell being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the NFL Draft (47th overall), becoming the high-est drafted Bobcat since 1948 and the highest under Solich.
With Solich as coach in 2007, Kalvin McRae became the fi rst Ohio player in history to rush for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. Other players achieved success for the off ense as well, with tight end Andrew Mooney setting the single-season Bobcat touchdown reception record and quarterback Brad Bower tying the career record for most yards per pass.
In 2006, Solich guided Ohio to its fi rst MAC East Division championship, the program’s fi rst MAC title of any kind since 1968, earning the Bobcats a spot in the GMAC Bowl, which marked the Bobcats’ fi rst bowl game since that same 1968 season.
Following the year, Solich was rewarded with MAC Coach of the Year honors, marking the third time in eight seasons in which he had won his league’s coach of the year award. Ohio’s fi ve-win improvement from 2005 (4-7) to 2006 (9-5) tied for the sixth-best turnaround in the nation.
In his fi rst three seasons, Solich guided the Bobcats to 19 victories in his fi rst three campaigns after the squad had won 11 games in the previous four seasons. Since his arrival, Solich has coached 57 All-MAC players.
His players have also gained national recognition. At the conclusion of the 2011 season, Joe Flading earned SI.com All-America honors. In 2009, LaVon Brazill and Noah Keller were named to various All-America teams, while Matt Weller and Gerald Moore were tabbed as Freshman All-Americans. In 2005, Dion Byrum became Ohio’s fi rst non-special teams All-American since 1968, and three rookies have been honored on The Sporting News Freshman All-America squads.
Ohio has also seen an increase of national television exposure since Solich’s arrival in 2005 as the Bobcats have played on the ESPN Family of Networks 50 times. This past season, Ohio had 12 of its 13 games televised on the ESPN Family of Networks and for the fi rst time in school history, the Bobcats had all of their home games televised. The program has also seen an in-creased level of exposure in the media as it was featured in Sports Illustrated, USA Today, The New York Times and Boston Globe.
Since Solich arrived in Athens, Bobcat players have been named to watch lists for such presti-gious honors as the Maxwell Award, the Butkus Award, the Lombardi Trophy, the Lott Trophy, the Davey O’Brien Award, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, Manning Award, the Biletnikoff Award and the Nagurski Trophy. Byrum was a semifi nalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, presented to the nation’s top defensive back, in 2005.
Off the fi eld, Solich is equally proud of his player’s accomplishments in the classroom. In the past three seasons, the Bobcats have had 18 Academic All-MAC selections. He has also had two seasons where an Ohio player has been named a semifi nalist for the Draddy Trophy, one of the most prestigious academic honors in college football. Academic success is nothing new for So-lich’s teams. While head coach at Nebraska, almost 90 percent of his student-athletes earned their degree. Seven times Huskers earned fi rst-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors and on four other occasions, second-team honors were bestowed.
Solich was named the Bobcats’ head coach on Dec. 17, 2004. In short order he assembled a talented and tested coaching staff , coordinated recruiting eff orts to assure a steady stream of outstanding student-athletes to the program, supervised a highly productive off -season weight program producing dozens of personal bests and concluded all-business spring drills introducing his players to tried and true off ensive and defensive schemes.
Solich’s arrival brought a renewed enthusiasm to the Bobcat football program. Ohio used that spark to begin a massive renovation of Peden Tower to better serve its student-athletes.
The momentum carried over into Solich’s fi rst season on the sidelines at Peden Stadium. Sol-ich’s fi rst win at Ohio came against defending Big East champion Pittsburgh in his home debut. Dion Byrum’s two interception returns for touchdown on national television in an overtime victory put the Bobcats on the national stage. The win was one of only two victories for MAC teams against BCS-conference opponents during that season.
Solich arrived in Athens after six seasons as the head coach at the University of Nebraska. Sol-ich spent nearly 30 years as part of the Nebraska program as a player, assistant coach and head coach. A Big 12 Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2001, Solich produced nine-win seasons in fi ve of his six years as head coach of the Huskers. In 1999, 2000 and 2001, he generated 12, 10 and 11 win seasons, respectively. He also generated six-consecutive bowl appearances including a 2001 run at the national championship against Miami in the Rose Bowl.
Under Solich’s leadership, Nebraska spent 54 consecutive weeks in the Associated Press Top 10. In his fi rst fi ve seasons as Husker head coach, Solich won 49 games, more than both his storied predecessors, Bob Devaney and Dr. Tom Osborne, in their fi rst fi ve years at Nebraska.
Moving on from Nebraska following a 2003 season in which his Huskers went 10-3, Solich was nevertheless determined to stay as close as possible to the college game until just the right opportunity came along. In a unique professional development opportunity all too often ignored by colleagues, Solich chose to travel the college and professional ranks to update his knowledge of the game, broaden his perspectives on its nuances and challenges and ready himself for the next great challenge.
Stepping back from the sideline included wide-ranging visits to some of Division I-A’s top pro-grams as well and the schedule included much more than a courtesy call. His ambitious fact-fi nding odyssey included stops at Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, Miami and Southern California.
Coming from his native Cleveland to Lincoln back in 1962, he was recruited to play fullback for the Cornhuskers as a part of Bob Devaney’s fi rst class of freshmen. During his time in the Husker program, Nebraska went 9-2, 10-1, 9-2 and 10-1. He earned All-Big Eight honors in 1965 and was the fi rst Husker to rush for 200 yards in a game. His place in the Nebraska tradi-tion was formalized with his induction into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1992.
While his accomplishments as a player were impressive, his work as a gifted teacher and as-sistant coach perhaps had as much to do with his arrival in the shrine as anything. Nine of the 15 seasons he served as running backs coach, Nebraska led the nation in rushing. He recruited and coached 1983 Heisman winner Mike Rozier and produced at least one all-conference run-ning back in thirteen of the fi fteen years he mentored that position. As a head coach, Solich mentored Eric Crouch to the 2001 Heisman Trophy.
