Game review

Ohio beat Akron 28-20, with the game swinging in the fourth quarter as the Bobcats scored 14 points in the final period after a tight first three quarters.

Nick Poulos threw for 197 yards and a touchdown on efficient passing, Duncan Brune ran for 111 yards and a score on 10 carries, and Dom Dorwart turned four catches into 108 yards and a touchdown. Michael Molnar led Ohio with 16 tackles and a sack. Akron moved the ball well at times behind Cibastian Broughton (232 passing yards, one interception), Jordan Gant (112 rushing yards, one touchdown), and Kyan Mason (71 receiving yards), but Ohio’s efficiency told the story: 9.9 yards per pass to Akron’s 6.6 and 6.2 yards per rush to 3.6, while Akron won first downs, total yards, and possession but committed two turnovers.

For bettors, Akron covered the closing 12.5 spread by 4.5, and the 52.5 closing total settled under by 4.5.
