James-Hamilton’s kickoff return, defensive stand gives Ohio 24-20 win over Eastern Michigan
ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Darren James-Hamilton's 100-yard kickoff return with 3:40 remaining gave Ohio a 24-20 victory over Eastern Michigan on Saturday night, extending the Bobcats' home winning streak to a record 17 games. After the Eagles took a 20-17 lead on Brogan McCaughey's 24-yard touchdown pass, Ohio's defense made four stops at the goal line.
McCaughey threw two incompletions and was sacked by Michael Molnar before an intentional grounding penalty. Nick Poulos led the Bobcats with 266 passing yards, including a 78-yard catch-and-run touchdown to Dom Dorwart. Aaron Kearse scored a 25-yard touchdown run after a sack by Ronn Hardin. Poulos also rushed for a touchdown in the third quarter. Eastern Michigan travels to Central Michigan later this month.
