Ohio defeated Eastern Michigan 24-20 on Saturday night, according to ABC News, whose report on the game centered on a kickoff return and a defensive stand.
ABC News reported that Darren James-Hamilton returned a kickoff 100 yards with 3:40 left to play. The same report said the Ohio defense made four stops at the goal line. The outlet placed the kickoff return and the defensive stand together in its headline, presenting them as the two elements of the game it chose to highlight.
ABC News also reported that the victory extended Ohio's home winning streak to a "nation-best 17 straight." The summary of that report does not give the streak's full history, and The Federal Chronicle has not independently verified the figure.
According to the ABC News summary, Eastern Michigan scored 20 points and Ohio scored 24. The summary did not include a play-by-play account, complete statistics, or comments from either team's players or coaches.
ABC News published its report with the headline on the kickoff return and defensive stand, and the account above relies only on the facts that its summary states. Where those facts are silent, this report does not supply them, and no other source was available to The Federal Chronicle for this account.
