AKRON, Ohio (AP) — In a close matchup, Ohio narrowly defeated Akron 28-20 on Tuesday night. Senior running back Duncan Brune electrified the crowd with a 91-yard touchdown run with just 3:57 remaining on the clock.

Earlier in the game, Akron took an early lead with a 1-yard touchdown run by Jordan Gant, who then caught a two-point conversion from Cibastian Broughton. However, Ohio's Nick Poulos quickly closed the gap with a 60-yard touchdown pass to Dom Dorwart, making it 21-17.

With Poulos completing 12 of 20 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown, as well as running for 45 yards and another score, and Ohio's DJ Walker returning an interception 45 yards for a touchdown, the Bobcats built a 11-point lead. Akron's defense made the most of their chances, intercepting Broughton to score in the first quarter and taking a 7-3 lead.

Dorwart contributed heavily with 108 yards on four catches, while Akron's Gant rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, and Broughton completed 232 yards through the air despite Akron's eventual loss.
