Buffalo and Bowling Green combined for 100 points in a bizarre October showdown in 2021. The Falcons’ 56-44 victory came with no shortage of strange happenings, ranging from a head coach ejection to a fake kneeldown at the end of the contest.
This year, the Bulls (2-3, 2-0 MAC) and Falcons (2-3, 1-0 MAC) each suffered heartbreaking losses to FCS competition in Week 2, but both programs recovered nicely from alarming 0-2 starts. Buffalo exhibits an unblemished 2-0 record in MAC play after running through Eastern Michigan and Miami (OH), while Bowling Green upended Marshall in non-conference play and opened its conference slate with a win at Akron.
