Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 40-6 to the Kent State Golden Flashes. Bowling Green was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 20 to nothing. QB Matt McDonald had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw one interception.
