At The Game: Miami

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- The Bowling Green State University football team continues its three-game home stand this weekend by hosting Miami on Saturday (Sept. 22) inside Doyt L. Perry Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. at Doyt L. Perry Stadium.

Miami holds a 43-24-5 advantage in the all-time series, and is the only Mid-American Conference opponent that owns a winning record all-time against Bowling Green.
