There was a lot of intrigue coming into this game between two perennial bottom-dweller programs in the MAC East, as both the Bowling Green Falcons (2-3, 1-0 MAC East) and the Akron Zips (1-4, 0-1 MAC East) sought to prove to their fans they’re on the right track with a win in league play.
It was a back-and-forth affair between the two programs at InfoCision Stadium, but at the end of the proceedings, it was the Falcons who walked off the field with a 31-28 victory under their belt over the homestanding Zips.
The game started off in strange fashion, as the Falcons started from their own 49 on their first possession of the day, driving down the field in just over 2:30 of game clock on eight plays to get all the way down to the Akron two-yard line.
