Each week, The Blade will recap the most interesting Bowling Green football grades released by Pro Football Focus, the scouting website that evaluates players’ performance on every play of every game. For context, grades are based on a 0-100 scale.
Pass rushing (91.5): If Bowling Green looked like it was rushing the passer more effectively than at any point this season on Saturday, it was no illusion. The Falcons amassed a pass rush grade of 91.5 — 9.9 points higher than their previous season high of 81.6 against Marshall. As it did against the Thundering Herd, Bowling Green forced Central Michigan into an unorthodox approach with constant pressure; the Chippewas used two quarterbacks to throw 30 times for 204 yards.
