Year Two of the Scot Loeffler experience in Bowling Green is set to begin for the Falcons with a rivalry matchup against Toledo, a rematch of last year’s program-affirming upset victory. That victory was one of three on the season for the Falcons, who also beat Akron and FCS foe Morgan State.
The pandemic—and limit of six games—will keep BGSU from a third straight 3-9 season, which is nice in its own strange way. If anything, the six-game season will be a time for experimentation and growth with no real pressure for performance.
What affect the COVID-affected offseason has on the Falcons’ learning curve in another year of the system remains to be seen, but the pre-shutdown analysis of the on-field product shouldn’t be too different post-shutdown.
