Last season's Mid-American Conference season was fairly well predicted, but don't expect 2016 to be a rerun. The Bowling Green Falcons defeated the Northern Illinois Huskies in the 2015 conference final 34-14 at Ford Field. BG was the MAC-elite all year long, 10-4 overall and 7-1 within the conference. The Falcons are the top dogs no longer though. The new season will bring an opportunity for new blood to take over.
BG starting quarterback Matt Johnson recently signed a rookie contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, so there will be new leadership for the Falcons offense.
