Bowling Green surges past Miami in third quarter

The Bowling Green Falcons lead the Miami RedHawks 20-17 after three quarters of their Mid-American Conference football game Saturday, Oct 18 at Perry Stadium.

The RedHawks led 14-10 at halftime, but a 4-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Sheehan to tight end Jimmy Scheidler and a 34-yard field goal by Sinisa Vrvilo gave Bowling Green a 20-14 advantage.

Nathan Parseghian’s 37-yard field goal with 2:52 left in the third period sliced Bowling Green’s lead to four points.

Dave DiFranco, Miami offensive lineman who suffered an ankle injury late in the second quarter, was back in the game for the RedHawks’ opening drive of the second half, but has not played since.

Thomas Merriweather, Miami tailback who also suffered an ankle injury in the first half, has not returned.

X-rays were taken at halftime for DiFranco and Merriweather. Both were negative.

Miami red-shirt freshman Clay Belton, making his first start at quarterback, has completed 10-of-19 passes for 124 yards, one touchdown (a 53-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens) and no interceptions.
