BOWLING GREEN — There is a difference between a veteran and a leader.
Eight games into Bowling Green State University’s football season, the team is still searching for a larger showing from the latter.
When BGSU upset Minnesota one month ago to the date from Monday, things fell into place at the right time. The Falcons are 0-4 since then with each loss to a Mid-American Conference opponent, and following Saturday’s blowout home loss to Eastern Michigan, head coach Scot Loeffler called upon someone — anyone — to step up in a leadership role.
The first step to that, Loeffler hopes, was taken Monday in preparation for a Buffalo team that has won its previous two games.
