Bowling Green: 2026 Week 12 recap

Bowling Green sits at 2–7 following a 23–10 loss to Western Michigan in Week 9, with GIE rating the Falcons at −19.3 and holding them at 129th nationally. The most recent result underscores deeper offensive struggles: a red-zone touchdown rate of just 12% and third-down conversion of 35% paint a picture of an offense that stalls in critical moments. The rating dipped slightly from prior week, suggesting little has shifted to reverse trajectory. With an expected win total of 3.26 and Kent State coming to town this week, Bowling Green faces another test against a Mid-American peer. Playoff probability remains at zero.
