11 *BOWLING GREEN over Toledo
Late Score Forecast: *BOWLING GREEN 41 - Toledo 20

There’s little love lost between these two rivals, but Bowling Green still holds most of the cards that have led to convincing Falcon wins in 2007 and 2008. BG QB Tyler Sheehan (4th in the nation in total offense) threw for 3 TDs in each of the last two meetings with the Rockets. Sr. WR Freddie Barnes (10 catches and a score in his career vs. Toledo) is leading the country in receptions and he’s averaged 173 ypg receiving in the last six games. Jr. RB Willie Geter ran for 160 yards on 12 carries (13.3 ypc) against the Rockets last season. Conversely, Toledo sr. QB Aaron Opelt completed just 11 of 26 passes for just 100 yds. with 0 TDs and 2 ints. in his two games against BG. The sore- shouldered Opelt, recently returned from injury, might be replaced in the starting lineup by true frosh Austin Dantin. The Rocket defense hasn’t put up much of a fight all season (38 ppg; 418 ypg).
