BGSU drops to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the MAC, while Ohio improves to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in MAC play.
The Falcons opened the game with a bang after Jovan Leacock forced a fumble on the Bobcats first play from scrimmage. Dwayne Woods picked up the loose ball and rumbled 28 yards, down to the OU 3-yardline, but BGSU was stuffed on four straight plays to negate the Falcons' first scoring chance.
After an OU three-and-out, BGSU once again marched inside the Ohio 10-yardline, but were once again unable to convert, forcing the Falcons into a Bryan Wright 22-yard field goal.
Ohio responded with a pair of touchdown drives in the first quarter and added two more in the second to take a 28-3 lead at the half.
The Falcons seemed to have the offense settled down to start the second half, but Matt Schilz, who returned after a two-week layoff, was pressured into throwing an interception that was returned 55 yards for a Bobcat touchdown to stretch the OU lead to 35-3.
Schilz led the Falcons on a 19-play scoring drive following the pick six, converting three different third downs. Senior Willie Geter capped off the drive by plunging into the end zone from one-yard out. The redshirt-freshman quarterback found Tyrone Pronty in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion to get BGSU to within 35-11.
Following an OU touchdown the Falcons once again drove down the field, this time Schilz hooking up with Kamar Jorden for an 11-yard touchdown. Jorden would add his second score of the afternoon on a 59-yard reception for the Falcons' final score.
Up next for the Orange and Brown will be a 1 p.m. showdown next Saturday (Oct. 16) with the Temple Owls.
Notes
• The Falcons had their best rushing effort of the season, finishing with 137 yards on 37 carries. Their previous-best was 108 yards at Troy.
• Leading the way on the ground was Willie Geter, who finished with 98 yards on 22 carries. Jordan Hopgood chipped in with 30 yards on 10 carries.
• Kamar Jorden had a game-high eight catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Jorden entered the game with 42 grabs, second most in the country.
