Bowling Green Looks to Bounce Back
Bowling Green in the last game faced off against Miami Ohio and they were able to secure the 28-12 victory. Bowling Green has had a solid season, but they scored only 12 points in the last game against Miami and they were able to secure the 16-point victory. Connor Bazelak completed 26 of his 41 passes for 201 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Malcolm Johnson Jr finished with eight catches for 75 yards, but the running game couldn’t get anything going and that led to the defeat. On the season Connor Bazelak has thrown for 2,654 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Bowling Green is averaging 26.8 points while their defense is giving up 20.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 74th in the league while the defense is ranked 20th.

Arkansas State vs Bowling Green Prediction
I have some major concerns about the way the Arkansas State defense has struggled all season. Their defense is giving up 32.2 points per game and they are going to really struggle to defend again here. Their offense has been good though, and i expect strong quarterback play again here. This is going to be a competitive game but not because of the defense it will be because of the offense. Back the over to cash here.
