BOWLING GREEN — What a long, strange trip it’s been for Bowling Green in 2022.
The Falcons have endured every kind of game in the opening half of their season — overtime games, close regulation games, and blowouts, against Power Five, FCS, and MAC opponents. Coach Scot Loeffler has missed a game due to health issues, and senior quarterback Matt McDonald due to hip pointers. Bowling Green has shown flashes on offense, defense, and special teams -— but seemingly never at the same time.
At the season’s midpoint, the 2-4 Falcons are reeling from a massive 38-7 letdown against Buffalo, but have shown tentative signs of improvement with a lot of football left to be played.
