At The Game: Buffalo

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- The Bowling Green State University football team is set to host Buffalo at Doyt L. Perry Stadium on Friday, Nov. 23. Kick-off is slated for 12 p.m. Friday's game will be the final contest of the 2018 season.

Bowling Green enters the final game of the regular season on a two-game win streak.

Buffalo would earn a trip to the MAC Championship game with a win Saturday. The Falcons, on the other hand, will see their season come to a close but can close the season on a three-game win streak for the second time in three years.

BGSU holds an 11-4 lead in the all-time series with Buffalo. While the Bulls won last year's contest, Bowling Green has won two straight at home.

Bowling Green and Buffalo are playing in the final game of the regular season for the sixth time in the past 11 years. The Falcons have won four of those five contests heading into Friday.

Friday's game will stream live on ESPNU with Tiffany Greene and Jay Walker on the call. On the radio, the game can be heard via the Falcon Radio Network and online through the TuneIn app.
