After three years of dominating the Mid-American Conference east division and winning two MAC Championships, the Bowling Green Falcons appear to be mere mortals again. The Falcons lost in convincing fashion on Saturday, 41-21 to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders from Conference-USA.
Most of the game was played in a driving rain storm, and it was clear that the Blue Raiders were the better team. Bowling Green found some success with the running game, partly because the weather was dictating it. However the passing game was non-existent, especially in the second half as the Falcons failed to score.
