Battle of I-75 quickly goes south for Falcons

After playing their first regular season game since Nov. 29, Bowling Green failed to defend their upset win against Toledo from last year, falling 38-3 to the Rockets last night.

Anything that could go wrong, went wrong for the Falcons in the opening minutes of the game.

First, a snap goes over punter Matt Naranjo’s head and into the endzone on the first drive of the game. Naranjo would get the punt away but only to the Falcons’ own 20.

From there Toledo was able to get on the board first thanks to a two-yard touchdown pass from Eli Peters to Bryant Koback, giving the Rockets the lead 6-0 after a missed extra point from kicker Thomas Cluckey.
