Bowling Green on defense at Michigan

Bowling Green at Michigan

Bowling Green was without starting quarterback Matt Schilz due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the second half the previous week against Marshall. Backup quarterback Aaron Pankratz made his first collegiate start in front of 109,933 fans at "The Big House". Pankratz finished 17-of-28 passing for 231 yards with one touchdown and interception. He threw a 71-yard touchdown to wide receiver Tyrone Pronty on a screen pass to make the score 21–14 midway through the second quarter. Redshirt freshman running back Jordan Hopgood scored a pair of touchdowns for the Falcons, twice converting on fourth-and-goal plays from the 1-yard line for the Falcons other two scores. Bowling Green ended the non-conference portion of the schedule with a record of 1–3.^[15]
