Ohio Bobcats (5-3)

vs

Bowling Green Falcons (6-2)

8:00 PM Ann Arbor Time on ESPN2

Doyt L. Perry Stadium, Bowling Green, OH

Preview courtesy of MGo Member MIMark:

If you have not seen Bowling Green football play yet, you are in for a treat.  The BG offense is as up-tempo and wide spread as anything and the results are incredible.  Early in the season they hammered Maryland while more than doubling the Terps in total yards.  They are undefeated in conference play as nobody has slowed down the offense - and now the defense is playing well holding Akron to 10 and shutting out Kent in the last two.

The QB Matt Johnson should be a Heisman candidate and if he has some great showings on national TV these next few weeks, he could end up in NY for the presentation.  And the star WR Roger Lewis is a beast.  He should at minimum be invited to NY for the Biletnikoff.  He may very well win.

Notable past coaches:

Urban Meyer coached BGSU 2001-2002

A ref just made the tackle of the game.  If the ref wasn't there, Bowling Green's Ronnie Moore would have sprinted in.

Not that it matters because BG scored a couple plays later.

Oh my, what a play!  Johnson gets out of a sure-thing sack and gets it to Ronnie Moore who takes it the rest of the way to the end zone.  Great play!
