Tim Hiller threw for a season-high 347 yards and four touchdowns and running back Brandon West scored three touchdowns, leading Western Michigan to a 41-20 victory over Ohio on Saturday.

Ohio’s Boo Jackson completed 13-of-22 passes for 144 yards and three touchdowns, but was intercepted twice and sacked five times as the Bobcats (1-5, 0-2) lost by their largest margin this season.
West rushed for a game-high 107 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, and also caught four passes for 72 yards
