Know Thy Opponent 2015: Bowling Green Falcons

An early season MAC-Big Ten game used to be schedule fodder for bowl eligibility. Almost every team in the Big Ten plays at least one MAC team every year. Some play two. When I was a kid it usually meant that Purdue was going to win on a gorgeous fall Saturday in front of a large crowd of high school bands invited explicitly for the purpose of making the stadium look full. Even though Purdue would be on its way to its normal 3-8 or 4-7 record for one Saturday we would look awesome in beating Ohio 33-10 or Eastern Michigan 49-3.
