BOWLING GREEN — If this week was the frying pan for Bowling Green, Saturday is the fire.
The slumping Falcons made a change at the top Sunday by dismissing coach Mike Jinks, creating a whirlwind six days for the football program that will conclude with BG’s first on-field test without their head coach.
It is a challenging test, at that: The Falcons will go on the road at Mid-American Conference favorite Ohio with a 1-6 record, an interim coach, and, if odds are any indication, little chance to win the game.
However, BG still hopes to finish the year on a winning note, starting by potentially spoiling Ohio’s homecoming at Peden Stadium in Athens.
