Times, date and opponents are subject to change. Run Falcons Run While the Falcons have managed just 975 yards and a 2.9 average per carry throughout the 2009 season, the last three weeks when the Falcons had to run the ball to protect a lead they have done just that. In the fourth quarter of each of the last three games the Falcons’ run- ning game has been at its best. Versus Miami, BGSU posted 15 carries for 111 yards, versus Akron they ran it 10 times for 90 yards and versus Toledo, they posted 12 carries for 92 yards. Overall BGSU has run the ball 37 times for 293 yards (7.9 avg.) in the fourth quarter alone in the last three contests.

Notes vs. Missouri • The Falcons now own a 3-2 all-time series advantage over Missouri, but had their two game win streak snapped over the Tigers.

• Freddie Barnes had a game-high 10 catches and now has 25 receptions in his first two contests of 2009. The senior had only 40 catches in 2008.

• Geter had his third most productive game of his career, finishing with 99 yards on 20 carries. Geter had 202 yards versus Kent State in 2007 and 161 yards last season versus Toledo.

• With Tyrone Pronty suffering an injury last week versus Troy, someone had to step up and it looks like Chris Wright has grabbed the opportunity. The senior finished second on the team with seventh catches for 57 yards.

• P.J. Mahone led BGSU with 13 tackles, one shy of his career-high of 14, set versus EMU in 2008.

• Neal Dahlman and Carlos Tipton each recorded a fumble recovery, the first of their careers.

Notes vs. Boise State • Boise State is the highest-ranked team ever to play in Doyt L. Perry Stadium ... the Broncos entered the game ranked No. 8 in the nation in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls this week ... prior to Saturday night, the last time a ranked opponent came to BG was on Oct. 25, 2003 ... on that date, the Falcons - who were also nationally ranked - defeated No. 12 Northern Illinois, 34-18.

• No fewer than six live broadcast media outlets were at The Doyt on Saturday night ... on the radio side, Todd Walker, John Gibson and the Falcon Radio Network called the game, as always ... WBGU-FM 88.1 broadcast as well, with Pat Dougherty and Kevin Zilch on the call ... Boise State had two radio stations make the trip, including a Spanish- speaking broadcast.

• On the television side, Greg Franke and Tom Cole called the game for BCSN in the Toledo area ... the game was shown on ESPN360.com as well ... ESPN360.com picked up the Boise State feed, provided by KTVB-TV.

• Saturday’s game marked the third time the Falcons and Broncos have met, but the first time they have played in BG ... in fact, it marked Boise State’s first-ever trip to the state of Ohio ... the teams had met twice in Boise, with the Broncos picking up wins by the scores of 48-20 in 2005 and 20-7 last season.

Buffalo’s next drive resulted in three first downs and the Bulls ran the clock down to under three minutes before punting away. A 15-yard kick catching interference penalty gave the Falcons the ball at their own 25 with 2:59 left.

Sheehan calmly drove BG 75 yards in the next 140 seconds, completing a pair of 3rd-and-10’s, eventually driving the offense inside Buffalo’s 10-yard line. A holding penalty pushed Bowling Green back to the 18, but that’s when Sheehan found Barnes streaking to the back corner of the end zone for the winning score.
