COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will face Cincinnati on Saturday, giving Bearcats head coach Luke Fickell his first opportunity to return to Ohio Stadium since 2016.

It’s also the 17th meeting between the teams as the Buckeyes are ahead 14-2 in the series. The last time Cincinnati won was in 1897 in a 24-0 home win. How long ago is that exactly?

Here some of the highlights of what America was like the last time Cincinnati beat Ohio State:

• Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” is published -- May 1897

• Amelia Earhart is born -- July 1897

• Thomas Edison receives a Patent for the Kinetographic camera -- Aug. 1897

• The first Library of Congress Building opens to the public -- Nov. 1897

Cincinnati is one of only two active FBS Ohio teams to beat Ohio State in football. The other is Akron, which won 12-6 in Columbus in 1894. Oberlin also beat the Buckeyes in 1921, but it is now a Division III school.

Former Ohio State quarterback Matthew Baldwin gains immediate eligibility at TCU

When Matthew Baldwin decided to transfer to TCU, the quarterback was denied the chance to play right away. Now a month later that decision has been reversed, according to head coach Gary Patterson.

“I’m not sure, but I think my man Baldwin - his appeal was OK’d," Patterson said after a 39-7 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Saturday. “So he’s also eligible, so here we go.”

Baldwin was a four-star prospect and No. 12 pro-style quarterback when he got to Columbus in 2018. He never took a snap in a game because he spent most of last season rehabbing an injury suffered in high school. He competed with Fields during the spring for the starting spot. In the spring game he completed 20 of his 36 passes for 246 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
