http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/401 Recent articles about the Bowling Green Falcons en-us The All-MAC teams were announced yesterday, and the Falcons fared pretty well, although I have one pretty major quibble with what was decided.To no one's surprise, LeFevour won the Leadership Award (MVP) as well as offensive player of the year, both well deserved awards. I wondered if they wouldn't split the two of them (one for LeFevour and one for Barnes), but even in my orangest heart I can't quibble with these choices. Beyond that, four Falcons were honored. Freddie did m...

This is a huge honor for our program and for Freddie.  He is having a dominant season, far more than I think any suspected he would have.  Teams are keying on him, and yet he finds ways to get open and makes plays after he gets the ball.The other two are Jordan Shipley of Texas and Golden Tate of Notre Dame. I also give credit to the people who vote for this award for recognizing when someone is...

The fourth quarter represented "that time" again in Columbia. Time for Gary Pinkel's team to blow another one. Much has changed since the early years of Pinkel's regime, and with memories of Maclin streaking to the end zone or Coffman hurdling a defender, those nightmares have become a thing of the past.

Despite picking up 393 yards to Bowling Green's 254, Pittsburgh just couldn't hold on to the ball long enough to do anything with it, as Pitt committed four turnovers (1 INT, 3 fumbles). Bowling Green was much better handling the ball, with 1 interception as their only blemish. So what does this mean for Pittsburgh football - will they be able...
