Mississippi State vs Bowling Green Game Preview
Why Bowling Green Will Win
Wait, what?
Talk about ruining the buzz, Marshall was rolling after shocking Notre Dame in South Bend, it had a layup against a mediocre Bowling Green team to get through, and then …
The Falcon offense showed up cranking out 300 passing yards, the team was +3 in turnover margin, and sort of like the stunning win over Minnesota last year, the team came up with a 34-31 victory that came from out of nowhere.

Why Mississippi State Will Win
The win over Marshall really was crazy.
The Bowling Green defense didn’t do anything against the Eastern Kentucky passing game in the wild 59-57 loss, UCLA roared back through the air in a 45-17 win, and now the secondary gets a Mississippi State offense that’s going to open it up after struggling in the 31-16 loss to LSU.

What’s Going To Happen
Mississippi State will be fully engaged after the loss last week.
Will Rogers will pick the Bowling Green defense clean, it’s going to keep on coming, and a few early points for the MAC team won’t be any big deal.
The Bulldogs aren’t going to shut things down cold, but the passing attack will get to 400 yards to blow past a few Bowling Green scoring drives.
