Kalvin McRae rushed for 151 yards on 28 carries and scored a touchdown Saturday to lead Ohio to a 23-7 win against Temple.
Ohio's Theo Scott completed just 7-of-12 passes for 94 yards, but got a touchdown from McRae and another from Vince Davidson as the Bobcats compiled 219 yards on the ground to win their second game in a row.
Temple only had 209 yards of total offense, with just 48 rushing yards.
