Bowling Green

In their twelfth game of the season, the Bulls lost, 24–7 to the Bowling Green Falcons. The game was promoted as the "Clash at the Ralph," returning college football to the 70,000+ seat Ralph Wilson Stadium for the first time since the 1970s. (The stadium was nowhere near filled to capacity, but ticket sales were roughly on par with the Bulls' games at UB Stadium.) Had the Bulls won this game, they would have qualified for the MAC Championship Game.[13]
