Owls lose to Bowling Green, 13-10
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.
Owls down 3-0 at half
The football team is losing 3-0 at halftime against Bowling Green at Perry Stadium in Bowling Green, Ohio.
The Falcons’ defense kept the Owls’ offense in check for the entire first half. The Owls have yet to sustain a drive for more than 50 yards and junior punter Brandon McManus already has a career-high five punts.
Junior running back Bernard Pierce has been held to 79 yards on 12 first-half carries. Senior-redshirt quarterback Chester Stewart has completed just three passes for 29 yards.

Faces of the occupation
Ginger of New Jersey is a singer-songwriter who performed at Occupy on Saturday afternoon. She finds the financial situation stressful, frustrating, and aggravating as she and her husband Ben feed their only child using food stamps.
Moses lives on Philadelphia’s streets and is grateful that the occupation provides food and safety. “We usually get chased out all the time. This has been a safe haven,” said Moses on Saturday.
