BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -
The Bowling Green State University football Falcons opened the home portion of the 2004 season with a 49-10 win over Southeast Missouri State University Saturday evening (Sept. 11). Following are some notes and numbers from the game...
The win was the Falcons' 14th consecutive regular-season victory at home.
Since 2001, the Falcons are now 12-0 when amassing 500 yards or more of total offense in a game.
Falcon sophomore Omar Jacobs had a career-high four TD passes (three vs. Liberty last year) and tied his career best with 24 completions ... he finished with 24 completions in 37 attempts for 285 yards.
Junior Steve Sanders had the longest rush of his career (20 yards).
Senior Shaun Suisham made three field goals on the night, all of at least 40 yards (in order, 40, 43 and 42) ... he now has 35 field goals in his career, ranking fifth on the school's all-time list ... Suisham's three field goals ties a Perry Stadium record that he shares (most recently accomplished last October against Central Michigan).
Junior Charles Sharon caught his 16th career TD pass and third of the season on an eight-yard pass from Jacobs.
Senior T. J. Carswell caused and recovered his first fumble of the season ... he has three recoveries and four forced fumbles in his career.
Senior James Hawkins caught the ninth TD pass of his career, a 20-yard pass from Jacobs.
