Kent St. 24, Buffalo 21

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Julian Edleman’s 25-yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Simpson with 5:57 left gave Kent State the win over Mid-American Conference East champion Buffalo. Edleman, who also ran for 167 yards while completing 13 of 23 attempts for 114 yards, drove Kent State (4-8, 3-5 MAC) 80 yards and capped the drive by lofting the game-winning completion to Simpson, his only catch of the day. Earlier, Buffalo’s (7-5, 5-3 MAC) Drew Willy teamed up with Naaman Roosevelt for a go-ahead 23-yard score with 9:11 left and a 21-17 lead. Kent’s Derek Burrell dashed Buffalo’s hopes for a game-winning touchdown when he forced Brett Hamlin to fumble at the 1-yard line after catching Willy’s pass. B.G. Walters recovered with 1:46 remaining. Eugene Jarvis ran for 150 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Temple 27, Akron 6

PHILADELPHIA — Quarterback Adam DiMichele and senior running back Marcellous Grigsby rushed for two touchdowns each as Temple snapped a 6-6 tie with three scores in the final 7:59. DiMichele completed 15 of 30 passes for 220 yards and had 50 yards on the ground while Grigsby recorded his first two career touchdowns for Temple (5-7, 4-4 MAC). The Owls won their final two games and racked up their most wins since a 7-4 season in 1990. Dennis Kennedy rushed for 153 yards on 25 carries for his sixth consecutive game of at least 100 yards on the ground for Akron (5-7, 3-5), which dropped its final three games after winning five of its first nine. Kennedy finished with 1,321 yards, third on the school’s all-time list for a single season behind Mike Clark in 1986 and James Black in 1983.

E. Michigan 56, Cent. Michigan 52

YPSILANTI, Mich. — Andy Schmitt broke the NCCA record for completions, Tyler Jones tied the NCAA Division I record for receptions and Eastern Michigan upset Central Michigan. Schmitt’s 58 completions broke the record NCAA record of 57, which was set by Jeremy Moses of Stephen F. Austin earlier this season. The NCAA Division I record of 55 was shared by Purdue’s Drew Brees in 1998 and Wake Forest’s Rusty LaRue in 1995. Schmitt attempted 80 passes and his 516 yards broke the Eastern Michign school record, which he set last week in a 55-52 loss at Temple. Schmitt also threw five touchdown passes and ran for a TD. Jones 23 receptions tied the mark of UNLV’s Randy Gatewood, who set it in 1994. Jerry Rice of Mississippi Valley State holds the NCAA record of 24 catches in 1983. Jones had 170 yards.

Ohio 41, Miami (Ohio) 26

OXFORD — Boo Jackson passed for three touchdowns and Chris Garrett ran for two for Ohio. The Bobcats piled up 516 yards of total offense. Garrett rushed 23 times for 222 yards, and Jackson was 15-of-20 for 190 yards for Ohio (4-8, 3-5 MAC.) Jackson had touchdown passes of 3 and 2 yards, but also connected with Taylor Price for a 51-yard score. Dan Raudebaugh was 26-of-41 for 258 yards and a touchdown for Miami (2-10, 1-7). Andre Bratton had 100 yards on 17 carries. Chris Givins scored for the RedHawks on a 15-yard pass from Raudebaugh and on a 60-yard return of a blocked punt. Nathan Parseghian kicked field goals of 35, 39, 34 and 22 yards.

Bowling Green 38, Toledo 10

TOLEDO — Tyler Sheehan threw three touchdown passes as Bowling Green easily beat Toledo, spoiling coach Tom Amstutz’s last game with the Rockets. Willie Geter ran for 160 yards for the Falcons (6-6, 4-4 MAC), including a 70-yard touchdown run in the third that made it 31-3. Sheehan was 20 of 33 for 241 yards and an interception while leading an offensive attack that piled up 534 yards. He had a 17-yard TD pass to Tyrone Pronty in the first quarter, a 33-yard touchdown pass to Jermiah Kelley in the third and a six-yard score to Corey Partridge in the fourth. Toledo (3-9, 2-6) didn’t get a touchdown until midway through the fourth, when quarterback Aaron Opelt ran in from two yards out. Morgan Williams had 153 yards, including a 65-yard run, but the Rockets couldn’t do much else when they had the ball, gaining just 196 offensive yards. Amstutz announced earlier this month that he would resign at the end of the season. He led Toledo to two Mid-American Conference titles in eight seasons and four bowl games in his first five years. But Toledo suffered its third straight losing season this year, despite a big win over Michigan last month.
