Big Game from Bailey As Bowling Green Fell 28-24
Deuce Bailey put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 38 yards. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played.
Bailey must have South Warren's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Spartans), he threw for 376 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.4% of his passes.

Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Bryce Button
