Bowling Green had 4 extra days to prepare, while Ohio is on a 6-day turnaround. Those extra days were used to get BG's speedster RB Anthon Samuel (MAC Freshman player of the year last year) fully healthy for tonite. Coach says he is GTG and Bowling Green blogs reports full participation in practice this week. Doesn't matter anyway, Bowling Green's two backups are both dangerous and can torch Ohio's weak rushing defense. OHIO allowed Buffalo to rack up a mind-blowing 313 rushing yards, and they even allowed Akron's shitty rushing attack to get 158 yards. Bowling Green is averaging 199 rushing yards in their last 5 games.

Ohio has some impressive offensive numbers, but not against a defense. BG's DT Chris Jones leads the nation in 11.5 sacks and he is going to destroy Tyler Tettleton tonite. Mark that! BG has not allowed more than 320 total yards in any of their last four games, and now you have these beasts fully rested and frothing at the mouth to come out on national TV and beat a former top-25 team.

NOTES:
-Bowling Green held Miami (OH) to THREE rushing yards the entire game!
-Bowling Green has used three trick plays to score in their last two games, look for something sneaky tonight after having the extra days to cook something up.
-BG had 4 INTS vs UMASS and returned one for a pick-six
-Ohio's loss vs Maimi-OH destroyed their season (they were top 25 at the time and lost the game on a dumb call by the coach and QB)
-Ohio trailed Buffalo 14-0
-Ohio trailed UMass 27-20 in the 4th Qtr
-Revenge angle in this game for BG
-BG is 23-11 ATS in their last 34 road games, and 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

I am going to take the points, but I am confident that Bowling Green will win this game outright.

Predicted Score:
Bowling Green 23
Ohio 20


BOWLING GREEN +3
