Bowling Green 44, Kent State 16
Box Score
KENT, Ohio -- Bowling Green quarterback Jarret Doege and the Falcons responded with a 44-16 win at Kent State on Tuesday evening (Oct. 31). Doege completed 14-18 passes to eight different receivers and threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns. He directed a Falcon offense that scored a touchdown on the opening drive and ultimately went 7-for-7 in red zone opportunities. 

Bowling Green took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in seven plays for a lead they would never relinquish. The primary thrust on the drive was a 43-yard run by Andrew Clair. That propelled Clair to a night of eight carries for 111 yards, his fourth consecutive 100-yard game. He is the first Falcon with four straight 100-yard games since Travis Greene put up five in a row from Nov. 5 to Dec. 6, 2013. Full Story...
