Bowling Green's home opener did not go as planned.
The Falcons fell in embarrassing fashion to the South Dakota Coyotes of the FCS in Week 2. South Dakota, a program that has not even posted a winning season since 2011, ruined Bowling Green's Saturday. The Coyotes stormed into Ohio and claimed a 35-27 victory, jumping out to a 21-3 advantage and leading by 16 with as little as three minutes to go.
Bowling Green now sits at a lowly 0-2, showing no signs of improvement after winning three out of four contests to close 2016. The Falcons face their second Big Ten foe of the season in Week 3, aiming to compete with the Northwestern Wildcats.
