Last season, Week 4 for Bowling Green was an iconic one. The Falcons were able to pull off a signature 14-10 victory over Minnesota to improve to 2-2, pulling off their most significant win since their mid-2010s MAC championship seasons.
Coming off a massive upset over Marshall, the Falcons looked to do the same in Week 4 again. The odds were certainly stacked against Bowling Green, which operated without head coach Scot Loeffler due to a personal health matter and starting quarterback Matt McDonald who was a late scratch due to an injury suffered against Marshall. Running backs coach Brian White took over Loeffler’s duties while Camden Orth served as the starting quarterback.
