Coming into this game between Bowling Green and Akron, it was expected to be a fairly noncompetitive contest between two teams which were bottom rung in the MAC. With the last handful of games being decided by margins of 10+ points, and both teams still struggling to get the right foot forward, it was hard to see how the game could be a compelling viewing, even with the stakes attached.
But funny things can happen when you take a match-up off the paper and put it onto the field.
The Falcons and Zips put on a very interesting, back-and-forth contest on Saturday afternoon, with both teams showing flashes of brilliance and the ability to score (and defend) in bunches, with the ultimate result being decided on the last possession.
