Miami 24, Akron 14
Box Score
OXFORD, Ohio -- Miami running back Kenny Young's versatile display helped lift the Miami football team to a crucial 24-14 victory over Akron at Yager Stadium on Tuesday night. Young rushed for 100 yards and gained 98 more along with a touchdown through the air as Miami (4-6, 3-3 MAC) moved to .500 in conference play and kept its bowl hopes alive. Miami got a first down on its opening drive, but eventually was forced to punt. Akron (5-5, 4-2 MAC) then drove into plus territory, getting to the Miami 14 yard line before stalling. A 31-yard field goal try by Nick Gasser missed wide right to keep the game scoreless at that point.  Full Story...

Box Score
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo quarterback Tyree Jackson threw for a career-high 406 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the University at Buffalo football team to a 38-28 win over Bowling Green at UB Stadium on Tuesday night. The Bulls rolled up 582 yards of total offense en route to their fourth win of the season.

It was another big game for Jackson's favorite target, Anthony Johnson, who finished with eight catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season and put him over him 1,000 yards on the year. He became just the fourth UB receiver in school history with 1,000 receiving yards in a single season, joining Drew Haddad, Naaman Roosevelt and Alex Neutz, who all did it twice.  Full Story...
