BOWLING GREEN — Comparing Bowling Green in 2022 to the Falcons of past years is like evaluating two separate, distinct college football programs.
The old Bowling Green was unsettled and disjointed at the quarterback position.
The new Falcons have a much-improved senior Matt McDonald at quarterback, who has thrown 13 touchdowns and one interception in four games this season.
Coach Scot Loeffler’s early Bowling Green teams also struggled mightily on defense. While the unit hasn’t locked opponents down at all times in 2022, the Falcons were able to get a key stop on fourth-and-6 on Akron’s final drive Saturday to seal a 31-28 win -— their first in a MAC opener in seven years.
