BOWLING GREEN — Tyler Sheehan threw two touchdown passes and ran for another for Bowling Green as the Falcons held off Kent State’s second half surge to win 45-30 on Saturday.

Anthony Turner’s 11-yard run combined with Sheehan’s touchdown passes to Corey Partridge and Jimmy Scheidler helped Bowling Green (4-5, 2-3 Mid-American) jump out to a 28-0 halftime lead.

But Kent State (2-7, 1-4) quarterback Julian Edelman threw for a touchdown, then ran for two more to get the Golden Flashes close with just more than five minutes left.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Tim Hiller passed for 339 yards and three touchdowns. Hiller completed 24-of-36 passes and topped 300 passing yards for the fourth consecutive game for the Broncos (7-2, 5-1). He is the third Western Michigan quarterback to pass for more than 7,000 career yards (7,211).

Terrence Blevins ran 19 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and finished with 52 yards on 15 carries for Eastern Michigan (2-8, 1-5), which lost its fourth straight. Dwayne Priest also ran for 52 yards.

Navy 33, Temple 27, OT

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Navy rallied from a 20-point deficit in the final 14 minutes, then used a 1-yard touchdown run by backup quarterback Ricky Dobbs in the first overtime.

Dobbs threw for one score and ran for another to help Navy (6-3) become bowl eligible.

Two critical miscues cost Temple (3-6). Navy scored the tying touchdown on the return of a fumble by Owls running back Kee-ayre Griffin with 37 seconds left, and Temple tight end Steve Maneri dropped a fourth-down pass in the end zone during overtime.
