December 20, 1999 | Football
Nov. 8, 1999
The Falcons, who are looking to extend a record at home which has seen them win seven of their last nine at Perry Stadium, end the season on the road Nov. 20 against Central Florida
THE SERIES: The Falcons hold a 14-8-1 edge in the series with Ball State with the two programs having not played since 1996 when the Cardinals captured a 16-11 decision at Perry Stadium. BG has compiled a 7-5 mark at home in the series with the two teams having split the last six games played in Bowling Green. Only four of the 12 games played at Bowling Green in the series have been decided by single digits with half of the games decided by 15 or more points. Overall, Ball State has won the last two meetings which broke a four-game Falcon winning streak in the series. There have been only six games in the whole series decided by single digits (not including the tie) with 11 contests decided by 20 or more points. Eight of the last 13 overall meetings have been decided by 20 or more points. There have been two shutouts in the series with Bowling Green posting both (1946 and 1987). BG holds a 4-2-1 edge in games decided by a touchdown or less and a 3-0-1 edge in games decided by a field goal or less.
LAST WEEK: The Falcons defeated Central Michigan at home on Oct. 30 in their last game by a 31-7 count. The Falcons scored the first 21 points of the game sandwiching scoring drives with the opening possession of the game and the second half around a score at the 6:49 mark of the second stanza. After CMU scored its only points of the game at the 9:10 mark of the third quarter, BG put the game away with 10 points in a 2:27 span early in the fourth quarter with a Godfrey Lewis 26-yard run at the 10:56 mark completing the scoring. The Falcon defense limited the Chippewas to just 43 yards rushing on 24 carries in the game and kept them in negative figures until inside the five-minute mark of the first half. CMU started three drives in BG territory in the first half and the Falcon defense did not allow any points on those possessions forcing a punt in each instance, including a possession which started at the BG 28-yard line in the first quarter. BG piled up 404 yards of offense, including a season-high 223 yards on the ground. Joe Alls led the running game with 134 yards on 29 carries, the first 100-yard day of his career.
SCHOENI TO BE HONORED: Long-time Bowling Green supervisor of maintenance and grounds, Ken Schoeni, will be honored at the game Saturday. Schoeni, who will be retiring in January, joined the athletic department in his present capacity in 1965. He has earned numerous awards including the 1991 Ohio Turf Grass Association Award for Professional Excellence, the Michael R. Ferrari Award from BGSU, and he was inducted into the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996.
HOME SWEET HOME: The Falcons have enjoyed a great deal of success at home under head coach Gary Blackney posting a 32-10-1 mark, a 26-8-1 mark in MAC games. Despite a 14-10 mark in their last 24 games at home, BG has averaged 30.4 points (1306 pts.) at home over the last 43 contests while allowing just 18.6 points (801 pts.). In MAC play at home, BG has averaged 30.3 points (1060 pts.) and allowed an average of just 17.9 points (626 pts.). Over the last 16-plus seasons, BG has compiled a 64-18-4 (.767) record and in the 33-plus seasons Perry Stadium has been the home of Falcon football, BG has a 108-52-6 (.669) mark. BG has won seven of its last nine 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 has scored 17 touchdowns and six field goals to put the total at $2,000 after four games.

TEAM FAST FACTS: Bowling Green has 34 blocked kicks since 1991 (15 punts, nine field goals, 10 extra points)...BG has scored 12 touchdowns 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, two last season, and two this season (both punts), both in the Tennessee Tech game...BG is 8-1 in MAC openers under head coach Gary Blackney...the Falcons are 18-17-1 on the road under head coach Gary Blackney in MAC play...overall on the road during Blackney's tenure the Falcons are 22-31-2 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 4-16 mark in their last 20 MAC road games...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 20-33 overall record the last four-plus seasons after BG teams posted a record of 36-8-2 the previous four years...BG has held 20 of 35 MAC foes to two touchdowns or less at home since 1991, while in all MAC games, BG defensive units have held 38 of 71 league foes to two touchdowns or less...BG has a 572-355 edge in points off of turnovers over the last eight-plus seasons...BG has had fewer turnovers than its opponent in 48 of the 99 games played since 1991, and in only 33 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 29 others...BG has lost more than one fumble only eight times in the last 84 games (a total of 46 lost fumbles in those 84 games)...BG has lost the ball via fumble in just 34 of their last 75 games...dating back to the beginning of last season, BG has scored on 67 of its last 77 possessions in the red zone (20-yard line or inside) with 51 of the 67 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. The fivesome have started five games this season as a unit. 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 413 yards (510.6/game) on 111 carries (3.7 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. He has also become just the 25th player in school history to top 1,000 rushing yards for a career. He now has 1,166 yards in 18 career games to rank 21st on the all-time BG list.
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 made his only attempt in the Central Michigan game and he has hit 11-of-13 this season. Strasser has now hit 17 of his last 19 field goal tries, and 22 of his last 25. He has hit field goals from 43, 37, 35, 32, 31, 27 (2), 26, 22, 21, and 19 yards this season. He has missed from 45 and 43 yards. He is tied for 33rd nationally averaging 1.22 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 54 points this season to lead the team. His 37 career field goals ranks fourth on the BG all-time list while his 204 career points ranks tied for fourth on the all-time list.
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 the coaching staff 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. Sahm has completed 51.7% (60-of-116) of his passes for the season for 860 yards and five scores.
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 became the first Bowling Green receiver to catch passes for 100 or more yards in three straight games with a 115-yard day against Miami after a 128-yard day against Toledo the week before, and a 126-yard game the previous week against Kent. In those three games, Redd had 22 receptions for 369 yards (123.0/game) and five touchdowns. Redd is second on the team with 39 receptions for 552 yards (14.2 avg.) and six touchdowns. His 36 points this season is second on the team to place-kicker Jason Strasser. He also leads the team averaging 91.4 all-purpose yards per game. He has a reception in every game this season and 15 of the 16 games in his career. Gerling ran his string to 20 games in which he has a reception in a contest with four catches for 48 yards in the Central Michigan game. His nine-catch, 183-yard day against Akron earlier this season established career highs in both categories with his yardage total third on the all-time BG single-game list, just six yards shy of the school record. The MAC Freshman of the Year last season leads the team with 45 receptions for 646 yards (14.4 avg.) and five touchdowns. Gerling became the 19th player in school history to catch passes for 1,000 yards in the Akron game and now ranks 14th on the career list with 1,302 receiving yards. A third BG receiver, red-shirt sophomore Aaron Alexander (Kokomo, Ind.) had his break-out game with eight receptions, his career high, for 87 yards in the Miami contest, and he came back to catch seven passes for 105 yards, his career high, in the Akron game. Alexander and Gerling are only the fifth BG receiving combo to catch passes for 100 or more yards in a game with both topping the century mark in the Akron contest. Alexander had 12 receptions for 195 yards in his career prior to his performance in the Miami game. He has 32 catches for 441 yards (13.8 avg.) and one score this season, 24 of his receptions coming in the last four contests.
