Bowling Green to Face New Mexico State in Quick Lane Bowl
December 04, 2022 | Football
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University football team has accepted an invitation to play the New Mexico State Aggies in the 2022 Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. The game is scheduled to kick off on Mon., Dec. 26 at 2:30 p.m., and will be televised nationally by ESPN.
This will mark Bowling Green's first appearance in the Quick Lane Bowl. While this is Bowling Green's first appearance in the Quick Lane Bowl, it is the third time BGSU will play a bowl game at Ford Field. BGSU previously played in the now defunct Motor City Bowl in 2003 and in 2013 when it changed names to the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. BGSU is 1-1 all-time in bowl games at Ford Field, highlighted by a 28-24 win over Northwestern in the 2003 Motor City Bowl.
The Falcons are 6-6 and finished 5-3 in MAC play. The Quick Lane Bowl is BGSU's 14th bowl appearance (first since 2015) and first under fourth-year head coach Scot Loeffler. New Mexico State is 6-6 and currently competes as a FBS independent. Most recently they competed in the WAC (2005-12) and the Sun Bel Conference t (2014-17). NMSU is set to join Conference USA next fall.
The Quick Lane Bowl will be the first meeting between the Falcons and the Aggies in football.
"Our players and staff cannot be more excited to play in the 2022 Quick Lane Bowl," said Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler. "It is a tremendous opportunity to play in Detroit, which is in our recruiting footprint. We are starting to prepare for a great New Mexico State program that finished the season winning four of five games. It will be an exciting game for both programs. I am looking forward to our great BGSU fans filling Ford Field to cheer us on as we go for our seventh win. Go Falcons!"
