Ohio Stifles UNLV 17-10 to Win Frisco Bowl Under Interim Coach John Hauser

Interim coach John Hauser steadied the Bobcats following Brian Smith’s dismissal for serious professional misconduct.

Overview

  • Sieh Bangura powered Ohio with 149 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries as the Bobcats finished 9-4.
  • Ohio extended its bowl winning streak to seven straight, a run that began in 2017.
  • UNLV was shut out in the first half, lost a fumble at the Ohio 9, and threw an end-zone interception before falling to 10-4.
  • Anthony Colandrea’s late 2-yard TD run capped a season-low night for a Rebels offense that averaged roughly 36 points per game.
  • The low-scoring result contrasted with pregame expectations for a shootout as Ohio’s defense held UNLV to 10 points at Ford Center at The Star.
