* November 26th
- I am back in St. Louis for winter break and I was not at the Monday press conference but media relations director Jason Corriher passed on a few notes to me this afternoon that are noteworthy. I’m sure Jason Arkley of The Athens Messenger will have more in tomorrow’s paper.
- True Freshman WR Matt Donahue, who caught six passes for 43 yards while appearing in five games before having to shut his season down with a wrist injury, is expected to transfer. No word on where Donahue will transfer.
- Solich reportedly said today that all three quarterbacks—Theo Scott, Josh Febus, and Brandon Jones—are expected to return next year. All three will be juniors for the 2008 season.
- Corriher also said that Solich stated that he had been contacted by Nebraska Cornhusker interim athletic director Tom Osborne. Maybe Arkley will have more on this.
- Solich said that he expects DE Ernie Hodge to try to re-enroll at Ohio University this next year. Hodge was kicked off the team and out of the University for off-the-field alcohol issues earlier this fall.
- Solich made a point of mentioned that the ‘Cats need to really start recruiting hard on interior linemen, and at the safety spot.
- The following is my early look at the pre-season depth chart on both sides of the ball for Ohio next year:
