ATHENS, Ohio -- Drew Hare threw an 18-yard touchdown strike to a wide open Chad Beebe in the end zone with 6 minutes left, and Northern Illinois held on to beat Ohio 21-14 on Tuesday night.

Hare was 15 of 23 for 178 yards with two touchdowns. His 32-yard touchdown pass to Akeem Daniels gave the Huskies a 14-7 lead with 9:25 to play in the third quarter.

A.J. Ouellette ran for 127 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Ohio (5-5, 3-3). Derrius Vick threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Ouellette to tie it at 14 with 8:50 to play.
