Connor Bazelak to start as BGSU's quarterback vs. Ohio

BOWLING GREEN — Connor Bazelak will start quarterback for Bowling Green State University’s Mid-American Conference football opener vs. Ohio on Saturday at Doyt Perry Stadium.

Bazelak missed last week’s 31-6 loss at No. 2 Michigan. The Falcons’ senior had a wrap and a brace on his right leg and was limited in warmups; BGSU coach Scot Loeffler declined to disclose Bazelak’s injury, but said he suffered it late in the Falcons’ win against Eastern Illinois on Sept. 9.

Bazelak, a transfer for Indiana who also spent three seasons at Missouri, has thrown for 390 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions on 59.2 percent (29 of 49) passing in two games this season.
