December 19, 1999 | Football
Oct. 4, 1999
The game is also the annual Homecoming Day contest. The Falcons take a six-game home winning streak into the contest.
HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES: There will be numerous activities all week in association with Homecoming. On Friday, a pep rally will be held on the intramural fields west of Perry Stadium at 8 p.m. Following the pep rally, there will be live music and a fireworks display. On Saturday, beginning at 10:30 a.m., there will be a parade that runs through the middle of campus and ends at the stadium. And, as always, the Homecoming king and queen will be announced at halftime of the game.
THE SERIES: The only Mid-American Conference program which holds a series edge over Bowling Green is Miami. The RedHawks own a 33-18-5 edge since the first game was played in 1941. The two team have played each season since 1950. A Miami win last season and in 1995 are their only series victories in the last nine meetings with the Falcons holding a 6-2-1 edge during that time. BG has a 6-3-2 edge in the last 11 meetings. BG has a 9-14-4 record at home in the series. BG has a 5-1-3 record at home in the last nine meetings at Perry Stadium with Miami, including a 28-21 win in 1997 in the last meeting between the two programs in Bowling Green. Three of BG's five wins over the period have come by seven points or less. Ten of the last 14 overall series games have been decided by 11 points or less with four of those decided by five points or less, excluding two ties. Miami had 11- (1943-47, 1950-54) and eight-game (1973-80) winning streaks early in the series to build they overall advantage. There have been seven shutouts in the series with Miami's 21-0 victory in 1995 their fifth whitewashing, and the last in the series. The two programs have split the eight series games decided by three points or less while Miami holds a 12-8 series edge in the contests decided by a touchdown or less.
LAST WEEK: The Falcons won for their sixth straight time at home and ended a four-game losing skid to rival Toledo posting a 34-23 victory. In only the fifth night game in stadium history, the Falcons got the early jump scoring a touchdown and a field goal to take a 10-0 lead while building a 159-85 edge in total offense in the first stanza. Toledo won the second quarter scoring the next 16 points on the strength of a 133-3 edge in total offense in the quarter. From there, the Falcons took control scoring 21 unanswered points to take a 31-16 lead at the 11:21 mark of the fourth quarter. The second Godfrey Lewis short touchdown run at the 6:21 mark of the third quarter put the Falcons ahead to stay and a pair of touchdown passes by red-shirt freshman quarterback Andy Sahm gave the Falcons some breathing room. Toledo closed to 31-23 at the 4:32 mark, but Sahm hit Robert Redd on a 41-yard pass on the first play after the Rocket touchdown and ate up all the remaining time except 45 seconds with Jason Strasser putting the game away with his second 27-yard field goal of the contest. The Falcons had a 447-386 edge in total offense, including a 285-168 edge in the second half. Lewis had his third career 100-yard day with 124 yards on 31 carries while Sahm, making his first career start, completed 20-of-30 for 302 yards and two scores. Redd caught eight passes for 128 yards.
HOME SWEET HOME: The Falcons have enjoyed a great deal of success at home under head coach Gary Blackney posting a 31-9-1 mark, a 25-7-1 mark in MAC games. Despite a 13-9 mark in their last 22 games at home, BG has averaged 30.3 points (1244 pts.) at home over the last 41 contests while allowing just 18.3 points (749 pts.). In MAC play at home, BG has averaged 30.2 points (998 pts.) and allowed an average of just 17.4 points (574 pts.). Over the last 16-plus seasons, BG has compiled a 63-17-4 (.774) record and in the 33-plus seasons Perry Stadium has been the home of Falcon football, BG has a 107-51-6 (.671) mark. BG has won its las six home games dating back to the midway point of last season.

DON'T BEAT YOURSELF: One of the areas head coach Gary Blackney has stressed since coming to the program in 1991 is don't beat yourself with turnovers. In 1996, the Falcons set an NCAA record losing just one fumble all season. Bowling Green has lost just 25 fumbles in the last 37 games, and just 27 fumbles in the last 41 games dating back to the end of the 1995 season. Since the start of the 1993 season, BG has lost the ball by fumble in just 30 of the 71 games. Over that period, BG has run 5,106 plays and returned 395 kicks while losing the ball just 38 times. BG was 12th in the nation in turnover margin (+1.00) in 1996.
SPECIAL TEAMS WERE JUST THAT IN THE WIN: Bowling Green's special teams played a key role in the win over Tennessee Tech scoring one touchdown and setting up the offense deep in Golden Eagle territory two other times which were converted into 10 more points. The Falcons added to their blocked kick total with a pair of blocked punts, one of which was picked up and run in for a touchdown, while the other yielded a field goal after setting up the offense at the Tech 15-yard line. The blocks came on consecutive Tech possessions to start the second half with the Falcon scores giving them some breathing room after enjoying only a 14-6 lead at halftime. The special teams also set up the offense deep in Tech territory recovering a "pooch" kickoff at the 20-yard line which four plays later was turned into seven points and a 37-9 lead. Bowling Green now has 34 blocked kicks since 1991 (15 punts, nine field goals, 10 extra points). BG has scored 12 touch-downs and recorded two safeties as a direct result of the kick block or on its ensuing possession. BG had seven kick blocks in 1991, six in 1992 and 1993, four in 1994, one in 1995, six in 1996, one in 1997, and two last season. The two in the Tennessee Tech game were the first this season.
RECENT SUCCESS AT HOME: The Falcons have won six of their last seven home games, including each of the last six in succession, and in the process have put some impressive numbers on the board. BG has averaged 39.1 points per game over the seven contests and have won the six games by an average margin of over 23.8 points per contest. In those seven games, the Falcons have averaged 423.4 yards of total offense per game with an average of 236.9 coming on the ground. Below is a breakdown of BG's key offensive statistics in its last seven home games.

A HELPING HAND: The Bowling Green football team and the athletic department have joined forces with the Fifth Third Bank in Bowling Green to assist the United Way of Wood County. The bank has agreed to donate $100 for each touchdown the Falcons score at their five home games this season and $50 for each field goal. Thus far this season, BGSU scored nine touchdowns and four field goals to put the total at $1100 after two games.
HOMECOMING HISTORY: The game this weekend is the 78th annual Homecoming contest. The football team has done its part down through the years to help make the weekend a success compiling a 47-20-10 (.675) record. The Falcons have compiled a 12-2-1 record in the last 15 Homecoming contests, including a 35-7 win over Ohio last season. BG is 9-1-1 in its last 11 Homecoming games. Miami has been BG's opponent for Homecoming six times with the Falcons winning two of those. The last meeting between the two programs on Homecoming was 1979 when Miami took a 21-3 decision.
TEAM FAST FACTS: BG is 8-1 in MAC openers under head coach Gary Blackney...the Falcons are 18-14-1 on the road under head coach Gary Blackney in MAC play...overall on the road during Blackney's tenure the Falcons are 22-29-2 and they have a 4-13 mark in non-league road contests with the wins coming against Temple (1995), Cincinnati (1994), Navy (1994), and Missouri (1995)...after compiling a 14-1-1 mark on the road in conference play between 1991 and 1994, BG has struggled to a 3-14 mark in their last 17 MAC road games...BG put an end to a six-game MAC road losing streak and a nine-game overall road losing skid with its win in the 1998 season finale against Northern Illinois...BG has posted a 6-3 mark against non-league schools at home during the tenure of head coach Gary Blackney...the Falcons have posted an 19-30 overall record the last four-plus seasons after BG teams posted a record of 36-8-2 the previous four years...BG has held 19 of 33 MAC foes to two touchdowns or less at home since 1991, while in all MAC games, BG defensive units have held 36 of 67 league foes to two touchdowns or less...BG has a 565-338 edge in points off of turnovers over the last eight-plus seasons...BG has had fewer turnovers than its opponent in 48 of the 95 games played since 1991, and in only 30 of those contests have they committed more turnovers than their opponent...BG is 35-13 in the 48 games in which they have had fewer turnovers than the opposition since 1991...over the last eight-plus seasons, BG has not had a turnover in 20 games and has committed just one in 27 others...BG has lost more than one fumble only seven times in the last 80 games (a total of 41 lost fumbles in those 80 games)...BG has held 24 of its last 38 opponents to fewer rushing yards than what they came into the game averaging...dating back to the beginning of last season, BG has scored on 56 of its last 64 possessions in the red zone (20-yard line or inside) with 42 of the 56 conversions touchdowns...for the second successive year, Bowling Green was recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for its high graduation rate...the Falcon program was one of 26 programs in Div. I-A from across the country with a 70% or higher rate for the 1993-94 freshman class.
OFFENSIVE LINE IS THE CORNERSTONE: One of the most experienced offensive lines in Div. I-A this season will be the cornerstone of the team. Senior center Doug Dorley (Normal, Ill./Normal H.S./Southern Illinois), senior right tackle Chad McCarthy (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic), senior left guard Mark Kautzman (Bainbridge, Ohio/Kenston), junior right guard Eric Curl (Livonia, Mich./Stevenson), and junior left tackle Rob Fehrman (Byesville, Ohio/Meadowbrook) comprise the fivesome which should be one of the best in the country. The group started all 11 games last season as a unit with McCarthy the most experienced with 32 career starts before this season. They started a total of 104 games among the five before this season, the third-highest total in the country behind only Buffalo (113 starts among its returning starting linemen) and Wisconsin (108). The right side of the line, Kautzman and Fehrman, had started the last 26 games side-by-side until Kautzman was sidelined for the Kent game with an injury. Dorley is joined by sophomore flanker Kurt Gerling as the only returning All-MAC players. Dorley was an honorable mention selection last season. Obviously, the line played a large role in the Falcons enjoying their best season in more than 20 years running the ball last season. Senior Kevin Steinke (Wausau, Wis./Everest) moves into the starting role at tight end having played in all 33 games in his career before this season while starting eight times.
LEWIS ONE OF 38 ON WALKER LIST: Sophomore tailback Godfrey Lewis (Toronto, Ontario/Michael Power) is one of 38 Div. I-A running backs being considered for the Doak Walker Award. Lewis is one of four backs from the Mid-American Conference on the list and one of only three sophomores. The award is presented annually to the nation's premier running back for his accomplishments on the field, achievement in the classroom, and citizenship in the community. Eight semifinalists will be named by the 182 people on the selection committee in late November with the winner announced Dec. 9 on the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on ESPN2. Lewis led the team last season with 753 yards on 163 carries, both freshman records at BGSU. Lewis leads the team again this season with 269 yards (67.3/game) on 64 carries (4.2 avg.). He had his first 100-yard day of the season, and third of his career, with 124 yards on 31 carries in the Toledo contest.
ON THE MARK: Senior place-kicker Jason Strasser (Toledo, Ohio/St. Francis) was fourth in the nation last season in field goal accuracy converting 11-of-12 attempts for a 91.7 percentage and he has picked up this season where he left off in 1998. Strasser converted two of his three attempts in the Toledo game and he has hit eight-of-nine this season. Strasser has now hit 14 of his last 15 field goal tries, and 19 of his last 20. He has hit field goals from 43, 37, 35, 31, 27 (2), 21, and 19 yards this season. He is tied for 13th nationally averaging 1.60 field goals per game. He had his streak of 13 straight made field goals come to an end in the Toledo game when he missed from 45 yards. His streak fell one shy of the MAC record set in 1993-94 by former Falcon place-kicker Brian Leaver of 14 straight made field goals. He puts his name second on that list with another former BG player, John Spengler, third on the list making 12 straight in 1979-80. His three field goals in the Marshall game equalled his career high set first in the 1997 game vs. Louisiana Tech. He joins eight other Falcon kickers who have hit three field goals in a game, which is third on the BG single-game list. Strasser has scored 35 of BG's 127 points this season. His 34 career field goals ranks fourth on the BG all-time list nine behind Jason Zeller (1986-89).
QUITE A DEBUT: Red-shirt freshman Andy Sahm (Indianapolis, Ind./Chatard) made the most of an opportunity in the Toledo game earning his first career start and responding by passing for 302 yards hitting 20-of-30 tosses. Sahm, who had thrown only two passes this season and played in just two contests, was named the starter Friday night after the starter in the first four games of the season, junior Ricky Schneider, was late for a meeting. The plan going into the game was for Sahm to play the first series and then they would go back to Schneider. But, Sahm played so well in the first series, he completed four-of-five passes for 33 yards, and in succeeding possessions (nine-of-10 in the first quarter for 95 yards) that the coaching staff decided to stay with him. He is the first BG quarterback to throw for 300 or more yards in a game since Ryan Henry late in the 1994 season while becoming only the fifth quarterback in school history to top the 300-yard passing barrier. His yardage total was the best by any quarterback in school history in their first career start.
RECEIVERS CONTINUE TO PLAY WELL: Sophomore split end Robert Redd (Dayton, Ohio/Wayne) and sophomore flanker Kurt Gerling (Sterling Heights, Mich./Henry Ford) continue to give the Falcons one of the best combinations in the MAC. Redd put his second successive game of over 100 receiving yards on the board in the Toledo game with 128 yards on eight catches. That came on the heels of an eight-catch, 126-yard game the week before against Kent. Redd leads the team with 28 receptions for 382 yards (13.6 avg.) and five touchdowns. His 30 points this season is second on the team to place-kicker Jason Strasser. He also leads the team averaging 118.0 all-purpose yards per game. He is tied for 36th nationally in catches per game (5.6) and 45th in yardage per game (76.4/game). Gerling ran his string to 16 games in which he has a reception in a game with five catches for 79 yards in the win over Toledo. The MAC Freshman of the Year last season is second to Redd on the team with 22 receptions for 308 yards (14.0 avg.) and three touchdowns.
INDIVIDUAL FAST FACTS: Red-shirt freshman Pat Fleming (Ottawa, Ontario/Earl of March) continues to give the Falcons a strong punting game in his first season as the starter...Fleming ranks 28th nationally averaging 42.3 yards per punt...the Falcons juggled their defensive line for the Toledo game with junior Brandon Hicks (Fairborn, Ohio) moving from the noseguard to an end position while sophomore Malcolm Robinson (Fostoria, Ohio) moved from tackle to noseguard and junior Rodney Dawson (Riverside, Calif./Ramona H.S./Riverside C.C.) took over at the tackle spot...both Hicks and Robinson had started each of the first four games at their previous positions while Dawson earned his first career start...Hicks is fourth on the team with 23 tackles, including a career high seven stops in the win over Toledo...true freshman Emmanuel Hendrix (Pahokee, Fla.) earned his first career start against Toledo and was credited with six tackles and one pass break up...he started at the field cornerback spot...sophomore Karl Rose (Columbus, Ohio/Bishop Hartley) led the team with 11 tackles in the win over Toledo, one off his career high last season...he is third on the team with 32 stops this season...sophomore Chad Long (Clyde, Ohio) and senior Joe O'Neill (Twinsburg, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) continue to lead the team with 59 and 40 tackles, respectively, this season.
