Cleveland, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference has named Bowling Green junior center Tim McAuliffe as the MAC East Division Offensive Player of the Week. A leader on the offensive line, McAuliffe and the unit paved the way for one of the most potent rushing games in BGSU history in a 42-7 win over Kent State.
Bowling Green rushed for 420 yards and saw three running backs top 100 yards on the ground. Bowling Green had not topped 400 yards rushing in a game since totaling 424 against Kent State on Oct. 24, 1998. It was the first time the Falcons had three running backs with 100+ yards since 1978.
