The national recognition continues for the Bowling Green State University football program after the team's 20-13 win at Missouri Saturday (Sept. 1). A story on ESPN.com has listed first-year head coach Urban Meyer as the "Coach of the Week."

The article, written by Gene Wojciechowski, states "The Mid-American Conference strikes again. Urban Meyer, the former Notre Dame receivers coach, comes to Bowling Green and promptly knocks off Missouri of the big, bad Big 12 at Mizzou. The Tigers are coached by another newcomer, Gary Pinkel, who left the MAC and Toledo for the big money and a bigger stage."

The Falcons will open the home and the Mid-American Conference portions of the schedule Saturday (Sept. 8), hosting the University at Buffalo under the lights at Doyt Perry Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
