The Falcons fell behind 7-3 early in the second quarter, but rattled off 28 unanswered points with two touchdowns in both the second and third quarters. The win clinches bowl eligibility for BGSU for the third-straight season and propels the Falcons to 5-1 within the Mid-American Conference. Harold Fannin Jr. tallied 10 catches for 137 yards and two scores, breaking the program’s career record for touchdown receptions by a tight end. The yardage also put Fannin at the top of the nation’s receivers list for receiving yardage.
• Tucker Gleason threw for one touchdown and ran for two more while Toledo’s defense forced five turnovers as the Rockets rolled to a 37-10 victory over Central Michigan at the Glass Bowl on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Gleason scored from nine and 30 yards out in the first half as the Rockets built a 27-3 halftime lead. Toledo scored 10 points in the final 22 seconds of the half on a pick-six by Nasir Bowers and a 32-yard field goal by Dylan Cunanan following a fumble recovery.
• The Buffalo Bulls rallied from 14 points down, late in the fourth quarter, to tie the game and then defeated Ball State, 51-48, in overtime at UB Stadium on Tuesday night. It was the Bulls’ sixth win of the season, making them bowl eligible for the first time since 2022.

Brett Gabbert, who threw for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns, went over 10,000 passing yards for his career.
