Northwestern vs. Bowling Green: Three things to know

Usually, the first two weeks of the college football season don’t reveal enough about any team to draw serious conclusions. Bowling Green has tried its best to disprove that truism in 2017. The Falcons opened the season with a solid quarter of football against Michigan State in East Lansing, before struggling to amass 200 total yards of offense in a 35-10 loss. In their home opener, Bowling Green fell behind South Dakota (a FCS school) 21-3 in the first quarter, and couldn’t come back, losing 35-27 to fall to 0-2. With that being said, Bowling Green is only two years removed from a 10-4 campaign with wins over Maryland and Purdue, and the Falcons recruit very well for a MAC school, so they don’t want for talent.
