2017 Hustle Belt Preseason Football Preview: Bowling Green Falcons

77-10. 77-3.

Bowling Green found themselves on the losing side of two of the most lopsided college football games of the entire 2016 season. The defense looked historically bad, one year removed from the program's second conference title in two years. Recovering from the losses of head coach Dino Babers, quarterback Matt Johnson, and wide receiver Roger Lewis, the Falcons more than slipped from their summit; they nosedived below sea level.

After a 1-8 start, Mike Jinks and the Falcons finally figured things out. Bowling Green strung three convincing victories together over Akron, Kent State, and Buffalo to finish the season 4-8.
