Despite having two rushers eclipse 100 yards, the Owls lost to Bowling Green, 13-10 Saturday afternoon.
Junior running backs Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown rushed for 107 and 119 yards, respectively, but the Owls weren’t able to get anything going in the passing game all day. Senior-redshirt quarterback Chester Stewart went 7-13 passing for just 66 yards.
Falcons’ sophomore quarterback Matt Schilz completed 20 passes for 204 yards, including a clutch 24-yard touchdown pass on 4th down halfway through the 4th quarter that was the difference in the game.
The Owls are now 5-3 and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference. Bowling Green improves to 4-4 and 2-2 in the MAC.
