Eastern Michigan Eagles vs. Ohio Bobcats: Full Highlights
ATHENS, Ohio -- — Parker Navarro passed for a career-high 277 yards and ran for 106 yards and four touchdowns to lead Ohio to a 35-10 win over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday night.
Anthony Tyus III contributed a rushing touchdown and Coleman Owen had eight receptions for 139 yards for the Bobcats (7-3, 5-1 Mid-American Conference), who remain in the hunt for a berth in the conference championship game.
The defense contributed a season-high four takeaways against an Eagles team that had seven turnovers coming in. All of the Eastern Michigan giveaways went to quarterback Cole Snyder, who came in with three interceptions but threw one on three consecutive drives. He also suffered a strip sack.
Those turnovers led to 21 points. The backbreaker was the third, when Tank Person jumped an inside route and nabbed the ball at the Eastern Michigan 25 for his second pick. On the next play Navarro went around the left side to make it 21-7.
Eastern Michigan answered with a 16-play, 64-yard drive taking almost eight minutes but only got a field goal. The Bobcats then went 85 yards for a score and then just 19 yards after Ben McNaboe, who earlier had an interception, forced a fumble Kaci Seegars jumped on. Both TDs were short Navarro runs.
Snyder finished 18 of 30 for 155 yards with a touchdown pass to Delbert Mimms III.
