ESPN on Matt Johnson

Post by gmartin »

The guy you should know about but probably don't: Matt Johnson, QB, Bowling Green

We've given you a heads-up on the Falcons before, but just in case you were looking for something to do this Friday night, do yourself a favor and watch Bowling Green take on Northern Illinois in the MAC championship (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2). Johnson, a 6-foot, 219-pound senior, leads the nation in passing (4,465 yards) and ranks among the top 10 in touchdown passes (2nd, 42), QB rating (4th, 168.9), completion percentage (6th, 68.9 percent) and yards per attempt (tied for 7th, 9.0). He has thrown only six interceptions in 498 attempts. And he has done all of the above while being sacked 33 times, ninth-highest in the land. Don't expect Friday night's neutral site game at Detroit's Ford Field to rattle Johnson. BGSU is the only FBS team with six wins on the road this year and one of only 10 undefeated road teams

This is the second time I've read that we are an undefeated road team. The first was on bgsufalcons.com.

Did the Tennessee game not count?

Tennessee was considered a neutral site since they played off campus
I proudly chose to be a Falcon and a Falcon I will remain until the end.

I think technically that was a neutral site game. Or if it was called a ut home game, I think I read it as "haven't lost a true road game" whatever the hell that means.

Afaic the Tennessee game was a road loss, but no shame in losing it.
