BOWLING GREEN –- What helped Bowling Green State University football in the Falcons’ glimmer of success at Tennessee in Week 1 also stood out in Week 2’s home opener on Saturday.
A blocked punt for a safety and a pick-six early, matched with a couple of big plays on offense gave BGSU every chance at winning for the first time since Nov. 13, 2019, but a last-second field goal from South Alabama’s Diego Guajardo lifted the Jaguars to a 22-19 win over the Falcons.
Terrion Avery’s 13-yard touchdown run with 1:39 left in regulation tied the game at 19, and the South Alabama defense forced a fumble on the following drive that led to the game-winning field goal by Guajardo as time expired.
