In the latest installment of the local rivalry known as, “The Battle of I-75,” the University of Toledo football team defeated Bowling Green State University, 32-31. With a second-half team turnaround, UT kicker, Luke Pawlak booted the game-winning extra point, following a touchdown pass with only 1:45 left in the game. UT improves to 10-1 on the season while BG slips to 6-5.

These two universities can lay claim to one of the closest rivalries in all of sports. Before last night’s matchup, the teams were dead even at 41-41-4 overall. Yesterday’s win tips the scale for UT, while the tight game only cements that closeness.
