BOWLING GREEN — To hear coach Scot Loeffler tell it, Bowling Green was ready to go in the week leading up to its showdown against Buffalo last Saturday.
The Falcons, 1-0 in the Mid-American Conference for the first time since 2015, were flying high after beating Akron 31-28 on the road. Senior quarterback Matt McDonald was clicking. The defense had stepped up in the final minutes. It was a heady time with a Bulls team unbeaten in the MAC coming to town.
Bowling Green, however, fell flat in a complete reversal of fortunes from its league opener.
