The Bowling Green Falcons will travel to Tennessee on Saturday to face the Memphis Tigers in a nationally televised game (ESPN News). The game is the last in a recent home-and-home series between the two schools.
Last year’s match-up featured Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch, now of the Denver Broncos, and Bowling Green’s Matt Johnson, the eventual offensive player-of-the-year in the Mid-American Conference. The game basically came down to who had the ball last, and the Tigers won the high-flying affair, 44-41.
Both team’s head coaches parlayed their success and moved on to greener pastures after last season.
