The Bowling Green Falcons completed their 2017 non-conference football schedule today by announcing an agreement to play at the Northwestern Wildcats on Sept. 16. The game adds a middle hurdle to what should be a difficult three-game gauntlet. The Falcons will open the season at home against FCS member South Dakota before facing Michigan State, Northwestern and Middle Tennessee State on the road.
The 2017 season will include BGSU's first back-to-back road games against Big Ten opponents since 2007, when they opened the season with a 32-31 win at the Minnesota Golden Gophers and a 28-17 loss at the Michigan State Spartans.
