A rare visit to Athens, Ohio, is on tap for the West Virginia University football team today when the Mountaineers take on the Ohio University Bobcats.
West Virginia's last trip there, in 1949, resulted in a 17-7 loss and the beginning of the end to Dudley DeGroot's coaching tenure with the Mountaineers. WVU's only other Buckeye State appearance to face OU was in 1897, the Bobcats also coming out victorious, 12-0.
"Here on out, the challenges get tougher," West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez said.
Last month, Ohio University announced the game at 27,000-seat Frank Solich Field at Peden Stadium as a sellout, meaning there should be lots of gold-and-blue-clad fans in the seats considering the OU campus is just a 45-minute drive from Parkersburg and 151 miles from Morgantown.
