ATHENS, Ohio -- , Nick Poulos threw three first-half touchdown passes and Ohio extended the nation's second longest current home winning streak to 16 with a 31-14 victory over Central Michigan on a rainy Saturday. Defending champion Indiana's 19-game run at home is the only streak longer than the Bobcats'. Duncan Brune broke through for a 23-yard touchdown on a third-and-3 run and Ohio (4-2, 2-0 Mid-American Conference) took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Brune rushed four times for 47 of the 62 yards on the drive and finished with 91 yards on 16 carries. Central Michigan turned it over on downs at the Bobcats' 35-yard line, and Riley Neer caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Poulos eight plays later for a 14-0 advantage.
