Fourth-year junior quarterback Gus Ragland threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third before leaving with an undisclosed injury late in the third quarter, but Bowling Green quarterback James Morgan threw three touchdown passes as the Falcons (1-5, 1-1 MAC East Division) picked up their first win.

“Gus is our quarterback,” said wide receiver Jared Murphy, who caught five passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. “We love him and trust him, but we trust Billy, too.”

Ragland will get an MRI for a lower body injury and might be out for a while, and Bahl might have injured his non-throwing arm diving to try and corral the loose football, Martin said. Ragland missed the first six games of 2016 after a knee injury in spring practice required surgery, but the RedHawks won the last six games of the regular season after he took over as the starting quarterback.
