The start of the Notre Dame football schedule for October likely offers something of a breather. That’s because Brian Kelly’s squad will be welcoming the Bowling Green Falcons in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Falcons are coming off a rough 2018 campaign that saw them end up with a 3-9 record, a mark that led to the hiring of a new head coach.
That coach is Scot Loeffler, who had previously been the offensive coordinator with the Boston College Eagles. In what turned out to be a 7-5 season, the Eagles’ offense was quite prolific during the first five weeks of the year, During that stretch, they scored more than 40 or more points on four occasions.
