Question: Which two teams played the first intercollegiate football game in Ohio?

Answer: On Dec. 8, 1888, Cincinnati and Miami played to a 0-0 tie on the Old Main lawn in Oxford—the first intercollegiate football game played in Ohio. The Bearcats and RedHawks are not scheduled to play this year. Aside from the COVID-19-impacted 2020 season, the series had been played uninterrupted since World War II.
