BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Drew Pyne threw for one touchdown and Chris McMillian ran for another as Bowling Green beat Liberty 23-13 after pulling away late on Saturday.

McMillian took a direct snap for a 7-yard rushing touchdown for the Falcons in the fourth quarter to go up 23-7.

Pyne finished the game 16-for-31 for 146 yards and a score. He found Jacob Harris in the end zone for a 12-yard score as Bowling Green (2-1) went into halftime up 10-0.

Ethan Vasko connected with Donte Lee Jr. on a 44-yard scoring strike, pulling within three of the Falcons in the third.
