2022 MAC Football Week 2 Game Recap: Eastern Kentucky Colonels 59, Bowling Green Falcons 57 (7OT)

Bowling Green (0-2) hoped to be able to find a result which could ease the pain of a blowout season-opening loss on the road with an FCS tune-up against Eastern Kentucky (1-1,)

Instead, the Falcons found themselves in one of the most stressful games of the young 2022 college football season, a seven-overtime thrill ride which was lost in walk-off fashion on a wheel route which had to stretch out for that extra yard— after digging their way out of a 14-point deficit in the second half to force extra play to begin with.

At the end of the day, BGSU fell by a final score of 59-57 on their home grounds to a punchy Eastern Kentucky team.
