Bowling for the Green - A Bowling Green Falcons Story

Re: Bowling for the Green - A Bowling Green Falcons Story

Losing in the final seconds is a hard pill to swallow. I think its much worse then getting blown out. (Which I have now done twice this season).

A nice conference win over Kent State would be a great way to heal the wounds.

And that's exactly what happened!

Indiana's Memorial Stadium, located in Bloomington, IN

It's gameday for the Falcons again, and Coach Freday has them excited. Coming off a great win last week on the road, Bowling Green finds themselves in a winnable game against the Hoosiers, a team from a power conference, the Big 10 (B1G). Can they make it two in a row on the road? Matt Schilz and the nation's #1 pass offense hopes they can! Stay tuned to find out what happens.

Yeah it was interesting because we couldn't stop the run for the first two games, while they had one of the best passing defenses, which is what we rely on. Game is over, recap coming very soon.

Gameday Recap: Bowling Green 23, Indiana 20 (F/OT)
Defense Steps up to Bail Out Struggling Offense

After a frustrating day running the ball, Anthon Samuel's extra effort gives the Falcons the win.

This was by far the best game the defense of either team has played this season. Only 3 points were scored in the second half combined, until they got to overtime. Each team had multiple sacks, even resulting in an injury to Matt Schilz, although he came back on the next drive.

Falcons Finally Get Running Game Going, Set NCAA Record in Process

Booboo Gates sets an NCAA Record with a 105 yard kickoff return in the 1st quarter

The run game finally got going. Anthon Samuel rushed for over 100 yards, and Matt Schilz got in on the fun as well. It was a relaxed day passing for Schilz, with only 1 TD and 247 yards, but the Falcons cruised by Murray State (FCS E) anyway. The only stats from this game that will go into the Records post on the first page are the KO return and long FG by Tate.

Re: Bowling for the Green - A Bowling Green Falcons Story

Nice job with BG. I'm from Ohio and I've seen Bowling Green grow as a program into something relevant. The MAC's better than people think...

I always thought it'd be cool to do a MAC dynasty with them. I'll follow your forum. I'd appreciate it if you'd do the same for my Tulane forum. It starts off kinda slow, but I'm observing others' styles for their forums to help make mine's more lively. I'm getting better at it. Link's at the bottom.

Thanks. I knew Bowling Green was on the rise, so I started up the dynasty, but I'll encounter some problems soon because my QB Matt Schilz is a senior, and I rely on the passing game so much because of the sliders that I'm still getting used to.
As for your Tulane dynasty, I've been reading it, but haven't had time to sit down and go through the whole thread and post in it. It looks good, I'm just as new to this as you are.
