Rourke, Bangura help lead Ohio to 55-34 win over Akron
ATHENS, Ohio (AP) Kurtis Rourke passed for three touchdowns, Sieh Bangura ran for three and added another receiving and Ohio beat Akron 55-34 on Saturday.
Rourke was an efficient 24-of-27 passing for 427 yards with Sam Wiglusz grabbing two TDs with a career-high 144 yards on seven catches including a 75-yarder for the game's first points and a lead the Bobcats (3-3, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) would keep. Jacoby Jones added a personal-best 121 yards receiving, also on seven receptions. Bangura had 90 yards on 16 carries.
Ohio led 28-13 at halftime. Akron got within seven on Clyde Price III's 4-yard run but Ohio followed with a Wiglusz's 30-yard TD catch, Bangura's 25-yard scoring catch and Jack McCrory's fumble return for a score to make it 48-20 heading into the fourth quarter.
DJ Irons completed 43 of 54 passes for a person-best 418 yards but no scores plus a late interception for the Zips (1-5, 0-2). He ran for one score. Shocky Jacques-Louis had a career-high 152 yards receiving and Daniel George 108, also a career best, on 11 receptions apiece. Price had three short touchdown runs.
