Ohio Tech Mounders Football
Season 7 - 2015
Coach: William Perry
Season Summary
Ohio Tech entered season 7 riding a nine game winning streak, and kept it going early on with the team’s first ever victory over the rival Bearcats and a convincing 58-27 win at Indiana. For an encore Tech kept it rolling by continuing its dominance over an outmatched conference USA field. The string of victories lifted OTU to as high as #3 in the polls; however, the Cinderella run came to a screeching halt against against the Miners of UTEP who forced a number of turnovers on the way to handing the Mounders their first loss of the season. The loss seemed to shake the team’s confidence the following week as Notre Dame blasted the Mounders 41-14 in South Bend. Tech would rebound to finish the regular season undefeated, but their lone conference loss to UTEP gave the Miners the tie breaker for the C-USA West. OTU received a bid to play in the Hawai’I Bowl against WAC champion Boise State. The disappointment from missing out on the conference tilte was lessened with a 48-20 postseason victory. Furthermore, the Mounders finished ranked #8 in both polls one slot behind state Ohio State which had the Tech faithful wondering if their team had become a legitimate contender with the Buckeyes for Ohio football supremacy.
