By Donald Traxler

Heath Jackson, Ada High School graduate and BGSU red-shirt junior wide receiver, started the Falcon fourth quarter drive with a seven-yard pass completion to Ronnie Moore to the BG 32 yard line.

The 75-yard drive took 9 plays and consumed 4:49 on the clock but resulted in the Falcons tying the score at 27 with the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. Jackson caught two key first down passes from Quarterback Matt Johnson for 15 and 21 yards.
