A year ago, Bowling Green played five games on ESPN+. • ESPN+ provides HD-quality video of thousands of live events for $4.99/month or $49.99/year with access through the ESPN App. • Fans can watch ESPN+ anywhere – Mobile, Desktop, TV-connected devices such as Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Android TV, and Chromecast.

CHALLENGING THE POWER FIVE • Bowling Green plays just one game against a Power Five opponent in 2019 (Kansas State), though the Falcons also play at Notre Dame, an independent program that plays in the ACC for all other sports and has a scheduling agreement with the league. • All 12 Mid-American Conference schools will take on at least one school from a Power Five conference (ACC, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, PAC-12) during the non-conference portion of the 2019 college football season. • In total, the 12 schools within the MAC will combine to play 22 games against Power Five competition. Kent State and Northern Illinois will play three Power Five schools each in 2019. • Eight of the league's 12 teams are set to play multiple games against the Power Five. Ball State, Bowling Green (including the Notre Dame game), Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Miami, and Western Michigan will each play such games twice. • Of those 22 games, 21 are true road games. Ball State plays a neutral site game against Indiana at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

SCOTLOEFFLER

Scot Loeffler was named the 20th head coach of the Bowling Green football program in Dec. of 2018. He came to BGSU after serving as Deputy Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator at Boston College.

Loeffler’s coaching career, which spans back to his time as a student assistant at Michigan during the 1996 season, includes stops at Michigan, Central Michigan, Florida, Temple, Auburn, Virginia Tech and Boston College. He also spent a year coaching quarterbacks for the Detroit Lions.

Loeffler has coached seven quarterbacks who went on to play in the NFL – Tom Brady, Tim Tebow, , , , and Logan Thomas. He has also directed a potent rushing attack at Boston College behind AJ Dillon, who ranked 13th nationally in rushing yards per game in 2018. Dillon was the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2017 and the nation’s second-leading rusher among freshmen.

In 2018, Boston College scored 40+ points in four of its first five games, including an average of 52.7 points in consecutive wins over Massachusetts, Holy Cross and Wake Forest. The Eagles then defeated Temple 45-35 and Louisville 38-20. The team ended the regular season at 7-5 overall.

Including the 2018 season, Loeffler’s teams will have played in 15 bowl games in the past 16 seasons he has been a college coach.

In 2017, Loeffler’s offense posted 35+ points in three consecutive games for the first time in 15 years at Boston College. The team scored 40+ points in consecutive conference games for the first time in the program’s Big East and ACC history. The rushing of- fense climbed from 96th to 25th in the country and the Eagles were one of the faster teams in the nation, ranking 18th nationally in total plays.

In 2016, his first year on staff at Boston College, the Eagles won a bowl game for the first time in nine years.

Prior to his tenure at Boston College, Loeffler served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under at Virginia Tech from 2013-15. He mentored Logan Thomas, who finished his collegiate career by breaking career records for passing yards, attempts, touchdown passes and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He oversaw a trio of wide receivers who became the first group in Virginia Tech history to each record 40 or more receptions in a season.

As the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Auburn in 2012, Loeffler mentored Tre Mason, a 1000-yard rusher who became the first non-quarterback to lead Auburn in total offense since Bo Jackson in 1985.

Loeffler guided Temple to the seventh-best rushing average in the nation as offensive coordinator in 2011 and running back Bernard Pierce ranked sixth nationally, including 107 yards on the ground in Doyt L. Perry Stadium in a 13-10 BGSU victory. That team went on to win the program’s first bowl game since 1979.

Prior to his time at Temple, he was quarterbacks coach at Florida under former BGSU head coach Urban Meyer, helping the unit to the best pass efficiency in the nation in 2009. He guided Tebow in his final season in Gainesville as he passed for 2,895 yards and 21 touchdowns. Tebow graduated from Florida with five NCAA, 14 SEC and 28 school record.

In 2008, Loeffler worked with the Detroit Lions’ quarterbacks, following his tenure at Michigan. From 2002-07, he coached quarter- backs for the Wolverines. Chad Henne became the first true freshman quarterback to lead his team to a Big Ten title and start in a BCS game, while John Navarre became Michigan’s first All-Big Ten first team quarterback since 1997.

Along with his time at Temple, Loeffler has familiarity in the Mid-American Conference as he was Central Michigan’s quarterbacks coach from 2000-01. Prior to that, he was a graduate assistant and student assistant at Michigan, working with Brady and Griese. He was part of the Wolverines’ undefeated national championship season in 1997.

A native of Barberton, Ohio and Barberton High School, Loeffler played quarterback at Michigan from 1993-96. A 1998 graduate of Michigan, Loeffler earned his undergraduate degree in history with a minor in political science.

Loeffler is married to Amie, who holds an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Bowling Green in 1999 and a graduate degree in chemistry in 2005. The couple has three children – Luke, Alexis and Mary Elizabeth.
