Central Michigan 27, Ohio 20
Box Score
MT. PLEASANT, Mich. -- When the spotlight shone brightest, Central Michigan's defense came alive. The Chippewas stopped a potential game-tying touchdown drive in the final minute Tuesday, holding off Ohio, 27-20, in a Mid-American Conference game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

CMU broke a three-game losing streak and improved to 6-5. The sixth victory made the Chippewas bowl eligible for the ninth time in the last 11 seasons. CMU is 3-4 in the MAC. The Chippewas ended Ohio's win streak at three games, and kept the Bobcats from clinching the MAC East Division title. Cooper Rush tossed an 8-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Conklin, who made a spectacular falling one-handed catch, with just under six minutes remaining to break a 20-20 tie.  Full Story...

Bowling Green 42, Kent State 7
Box Score
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Three different Falcons rushed for over 100 yards as the Bowling Green State University football team put up its best ground attack in 18 years and beat Kent State 48-7 on Tuesday, Nov. 15. BGSU ran over, through and around the Golden Flashes to the tune of 420 yards and four touchdowns in the victory.
 
The Falcons' offense waited until the third possession of the game to start rolling, but once it got going, it never stopped. James Morgan led the team on the field for the third time with 9:13 left in the first quarter and directed a 16-play, 89-yard drive. Fred Coppet carried most of the burden on the first scoring drive with six carries for 32 yards, while Donovan Wilson capped it with three straight carries, including a three-yard touchdown run. The march lasted 6:48 and was the longest of the season for the Falcons.  Full Story...
