Bowling Green beats Murray State 27-10 for 1st win since 2019

BOWLING GREEN — Three things were accomplished by Bowling Green State University’s football team on Saturday.

One, the Falcons showed for the second game in a row what benefit timely turnovers can have when they force them. Two, they at last established some semblance of a running game. Three, and most important, they snapped a 10-game losing streak despite being 2½-point home underdogs.

For the first time in 686 days, since Nov. 2, 2019, the Falcons are back in the win column after earning a 27-10 homecoming victory over Football Championship Subdivision member Murray State at Doyt Perry Stadium.
