Ohio protected successive 10-win seasons for the first time in program history, and extended its bowl game winning streak to five behind a stifling first-half protective effort against Georgia Southern. The Bobcats (10-3) obstructed Georgia Southern quarterback Davis Brin three times (two times in the first half) from the security position– from sixth-year senior Jeremiah Wood, sophomore Adonis Williams Jr. and sixth-year senior Walter Reynolds. The Eagles (6-7) were held to 35 total lawns in the first half, turning the ball over three times as the Bobcats jumped out to a 20-0 advantage by halftime. Bobcats’ freshman running back Rickey Hunt broke out by tape-recording 133 overall lawns (115 hurrying) and 5 overall goals (4 rushing), connecting the NCAA bowl record for goals from scrimmage (12th player in history) and establishing a new Ohio championship game record. Ohio fifth-year senior quarterback Parker Navarro, taking control of the reins of the offense after Kurtis Rourke got in the transfer website, handled the game effectively, regardless of the group being outgained 383-352 in overall backyards. Navarro finished 11 of 16 passing for 120 yards and threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Hunt. — Blake Baumgartner
