(AP) — Connor Bazelak threw two touchdown passes, Rahkeem Smith scored three times, and Bowling Green defeated Ball State 38-13 on Saturday to remain tied for first place in the Mid-American Conference.
The loss came in the first game for Colin Johnson as interim coach of Ball State. Bowling Green (7-4), Miami and Ohio are tied for first place with 6-1 records. Bowling Green hosts Miami on Saturday, with that winner earning a spot in the MAC championship game.
Ohio would be the other team in the championship game with a win at home against Ball State. Bowling Green led just 10-7 at halftime against Ball State but broke it open with 18 unanswered points in the third quarter. Zach Long hit a field goal, Smith scored on a 1-yard run and also caught a 66-yard touchdown pass from Bazelak.
He scored basically untouched after catching a swing pass in the backfield. Smith had four receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns. He added four carries for eight yards and a third score.
Kadin Semonza had two touchdown passes and 211 yards for the Cardinals (3-8, 2-5). __ Get alerts on the latest AP Top 25 poll throughout the season. Sign up here AP college football: https://apnews.
