The Bobcats (6-3, 4-1 Mid-American Conference) are right on track in terms of competing for a MAC East Divisional title.

Ohio has three games remaining, including two at home, and will wrap up the regular season against MAC East leader Temple (4-0 MAC) on Nov. 27. Already bowl eligible, the Bobcats have a chance to wrap up their second divisional title in four years with a strong November.

However, Ohio has some concerns. Injuries have robbed the roster of its quality depth. The ground game has been inconsistent, and in the red zone Ohio's spread offense has been far from effective.

Add into that suddenly spotty quarterback play, and an increase in turnovers, and there is reason to believe Ohio has plenty to work on during its down time.

Theo Scott found Terrence McCrae for a 7-yard touchdown with just over 3 minutes remaining Saturday to lift Ohio to a 20-17 victory over Ball State. The pair also accounted for a 2-point conversion following the TD, giving the Bobcats (6-3, 4-1 Mid-American) a 20-17 lead. Before the touchdown with 3:11 to go, Ohio's only scoring had come on four Matt Weller field goals.
