BGSU football: 3 storylines for 2024 season ahead of MAC media day
BOWLING GREEN — A senior-laden and experienced group comprises Bowling Green State University’s football program. Is 2024 the year the Falcons bring the Mid-American Conference title back to Bowling Green? After posting a 7-6 record, securing its first winning season since 2015, and earning its second consecutive bowl berth during the 2023 campaign, BGSU will have high hopes and expectations in what could be a memorable year. Sixth-year coach Scot Loeffler (20-35 record) and his staff did an admirable job of bringing back a vast majority of its starters and key reserves from last season, and they added a solid number of talented players in the transfer portal that should step right in, as well. A BGSU team that includes 32 seniors will be looking to win the program’s first MAC championship since 2015 when the Falcons went 10-4, topped Northern Illinois in the title game and had a pair of wins over Big Ten Conference teams.
