Take " (310) BOWLING GREEN "
I'm laying the points with Bowling Green on Friday (5:30pm ET). The Falcons are back from the dead. Bowling Green began the season with a 31-14 win over a Troy team that's 6-0 in SBC play and 7-3, overall. But the winning streak ended at one. BGSU followed that win with a tough four game losing streak against solid opposition. The Falcons lost roadies at Missouri and Marshall, then lost at home to powerful Boise State and to a very good Ohio Bobcat squad. Three of the four losses came by exactly seven points each. The only bad loss came against Boise State...no shame there. But staying one step in front of public perception, you could see that BGSU was much better than their 1-4 record would indicate. Tonight, they're looking for their fifth win in six games. Making the run even more impressive is that each of their last four wins have come away from home. And after hosting Troy, Boise, Ohio, and Central Michigan (combined record of 33-8) the Falcons take a big step down in compeition against Akron (1-5; 2-8). The Zips are allowing over 175 yards rushing per game this season, and they have a grand total of just seven sacks...less than one sack generated per game. They're allowing 29 ppg and now have to face a red-hot passing game. The Zips have no matchup for BGSU star receiver Freddie Barnes. And QB Tyler Sheehan has completed 64% of his passes this season, averaging 319 yards passing per game on 7 yards per attempt. Sheehan has thrown 19 TD passes with just six "picks." The Falcon defense, which has admittedly been up-and-down, catches a real break this week. They're facing an Akron offense that scores just over 18 ppg, while averaging just 287 yards per game. And let's not forget, the Falcon defense has faced the offensive units of the teams I mentioned earlier. They haven't exactly faced a "creampuff" schedule. Here's their chance to roll to a big win and cover against an Akron team that has struggled since camp. Bowling Green has been a terrific money-maker during the stretch run over the last three seasons, going 9-1, 90% in November, while averaging over 36 ppg. They have a chance to go "bowling" in new HC Dave Clawson's first season. The last time these two teams hooked-up at Perry Field, BGSU walked away with a 44-20 victory. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar score on Friday. I'm laying the points with Bowling Green, my Friday Blockbuster GOY. Thanks! GL! Scott.
