The Ohio Bobcats clinched the Mid-American Conference (MAC) football championship for the first time since 1968, defeating the Miami (OH) Redhawks 38-3 on Saturday. The victory marks the 12th conference championship in program history. Under the leadership of Coach Tim Albin, the Bobcats ended a five-game losing streak in MAC title games. Reflecting on the long gap since their last title, Albin remarked, "They hadn't even landed on the moon yet!" The decisive win not only broke a 56-year title drought but also solidified Albin's successful tenure following former coach Frank Solich.
