Bowling Green vs. Ohio updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Bowling Green vs. Ohio football game

Bowling Green will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. They will take on the Ohio Bobcats at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting might be a low-scoring affair.

Bowling Green gave up the first points and the most points on Saturday evening. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 31-6 walloping at Michigan's hands. The last quarter was a mere formality, since the game's final score was reached by the end of the third quarter.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Falcons were plagued a slow offense and finished the game with only 3.6 yards per play. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as Michigan advanced 7.1.

Meanwhile, Ohio extended their game-winning streak to three on Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-7 victory over Iowa State. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but Ohio were the better team in the second half.

QB Kurtis Rourke did enough while leading his team to the win, throwing for 135 yards and a touchdown.

When it’s third and short and the Bobcats need some yardage, they’ve opted to try a passing play 46.3% of the time. The team tried something a little different on Saturday though, rushing on all of their third and short attempts. Given they only converted 25% of their third downs, don't expect to see them trying that again any time soon.

While only Ohio took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Looking ahead, they are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 13 points. This will be their first time playing as the favorites on the road this season.

Bowling Green might still be hurting after the devastating 38-14 defeat walloping they got from Ohio in their previous matchup last November. Will Bowling Green have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest or check back on CBS Sports to find out.
