Bowling Green witnessed remarkable defensive improvement from 2020 to 2021. The Falcons logged four All-MAC defenders and fielded their best scoring defense since 2015, with a specialty in containing the opposing aerial attacks.
But through the first six games of the 2022 season, the Falcons regressed back to what was the norm from 2015 to 2021. Bowling Green entered Saturday ranked bottom five nationally in scoring defense and passing defense. It’s never too late to flip the script, and that’s what the Falcons did in a 17-13 win over Miami (OH) on Saturday.
After allowing 28 points or greater in each of its first six games, Bowling Green kicked it into another gear against Miami to stymie the RedHawks to 13.
