ESPN RECAP

McDonald, Bowling Green shock Buffalo 56-44, 1st MAC win

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- , Matt McDonald threw for 263 yards and a career-best four touchdowns , three in the first half , ran 47 yards for the capper with under a minute to play and Bowling Green survived the ejection of head coach Scot Loeffler to upend Buffalo 56-44 on Saturday. McDonald entered the game with six touchdown passes on the season. The teams combined for 49 points in the fourth quarter alone, matching score for score, and Buffalo rallied with 34 points after halftime. The teams amassed 983 yards of total offense. The Falcons (3-6, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) ended a four-game skid. McDonald's run for the final touchdown appeared to be set up as a kneel-down when he saw a gap and bolted out of the pocket. McDonald completed eight of his first 11 passes with two touchdowns to Christian Sims , for 81 and 6 yards , and a third to Tyrone Broden .
