A consolidated game thread for all MAC games played Saturday, 17 October.

Ball State at Bowling Green
UMass at Buffalo
Western Michigan at Central Michigan
Toledo at Eastern Michigan
Akron at Miami
Kent State at South Florida
Ohio at Sacramento State

Just curious are Toledo fans coming in large numbers to the EMU game in Ypsilanti?

If Michigan were on the road or on bye, EMU/Toledo would have a much bigger crowd than what they'll get today. Unfortunate timing.

Michael Reghi is calling the Bowling Green-Ball State game, and I’m here for it.

Same score end of first quarter.

Questionable call basically gives UMass a score. Can't believe the officiating

Ugly game, we can use another year of recruiting, but take the lead. Our D has been good. Loved making the 2pt conversion earlier.

You still think the refs r trying to give the game to UMass. That personal foul on the stopped

Heck of a TD play by the Ball St QB with no time left to tie the game at 24. BSU fumbled the ball earlier with just over 1 min left that was returned for a BG TD.

The Ball St QB has been clutch late in this game. He just threw a 2-pt conversion for the win in OT as he was being flushed out the pocket.

1.47 left, anyone's game. Buffalo has the ball. UMass 18 to 15 lead

OT

Congrats to Buffalo

Yay! Go Bulls. Thankfully the QB showed up for the last drive for the tying FG and the OT pass. The Flagship Cup stays in Amherst, New York!

After a WMU muffed punt, a million penalties and botched on-sides kick defense later, we squeak one out after blowing a big lead...

Yeah, not surprisingly, WMU had to survive a very long long 4th Q to pull out a victory from their original 21-0 lead going into the 4th. CMU game-wise had more penalties, but ours came so much at the end, along with our other missteps, to put it lightly. Phew, we avoided death by @CMU.

Ball State had a kind of big surprising win over @Bowling Green.
Buffalo at home survived OT against UMass shutting them out in OT and getting a TD for themselves in it.

Toledo kind of surprisingly is DESTROYING @EMU, being up 31-7 at the half. I figured they'd win, quite possibly solidly, but not like this after being surprisingly almost-shut out last week at home vs Buffalo.

And looks like Miami at home is going to continue to solidly beat Akron, as they're up 17-7 at the half.
