Analysis: Indicators of Bowling Green’s historic upset were hiding in plain sight

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota paid Bowling Green State University approximately $1.5 million for Saturday’s football game in Minneapolis.

Who actually expected BGSU to steal a win in the process?

The Falcons’ 14-10 victory at Huntington Bank Stadium sent shock waves into the college football world. Bowling Green was a 31½-point underdog throughout the week, and some lines had them as high as a 30½-point underdog.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, the 30½ line tied the largest upset between two FBS programs since Texas State defeated 35-point favorite Houston in 2012.

Bowling Green defeated Minnesota 14-10 today.
