BOWLING GREEN — An orange-and-brown mass of humanity at midfield told the story.
Following nine years of losing to Toledo — and more than three years of losing in general — Bowling Green finally had its moment.
From the beginning of the week until the final whistle, everything seemed to align perfectly for the Falcons in their 20-7 upset of Toledo in 2019. The student section flooded the field for a massive celebration with the Battle of I-75 Trophy. Coaches hugged. Players shed tears of joy.
It was a day Bowling Green won't soon forget — and a fleeting feeling the Falcons would like to experience again.
