Up until a week or two ago, saying this game would be huge for the MAC East race would have been met with scoffs and guffaws. But here we are. Bowling Green pulled out a win against the RedHawks when it seemed as though Miami was heading in for the game winning field goal.
Meanwhile, the Bobcats lost to Central Michigan during Homecoming. The Bobcats had 4 turnovers, all attributed to sophomore quarterback Nathan Rourke. Growing pains.
Both teams come into the game 1-1 in the conference, and East leading Akron(2-0) faces a huge test against Western Michigan.
