BOWLING GREEN — Black Friday took on a new meaning for Bowling Green State University’s football team.
With a trip to the Mid-American Conference championship game on the line, the Falcons couldn’t cash in offensively against a strong Miami (Ohio) defense, and a few big plays and lucky bounces helped the RedHawks earn a 28-12 victory on Friday at Doyt Perry Stadium.
Miami (8-4, 7-1) advanced to the MAC title game on Dec. 7 at Ford Field in Detroit. The RedHawks will face Ohio (9-3, 7-1), which earned a spot in the championship with a 42-21 victory over Ball State on Friday.
