Ohio is trying to reach 10 wins for the a second consecutive season, a program first.

Georgia Southern struggled down the stretch with four straight losses after starting the season 6-2.
KEY MATCHUP
Ohio LB Bryce Houston vs. Georgia Southern’s offense. Houston led the Bobcats with 119 tackles this season, fourth in the Mid-American Conference and 16th in the FBS. Strong pressure has rattled Eagles passer Davis Brin, a Tulsa transfer, who has thrown 16 interceptions this season.
