vs. Western Michigan (11/2)

[TommyG]

Western can’t pass….they literally can’t throw the ball and catch more than 5 yds downfield.
I don’t think the defense is playing all that special, there is simply no threat to move the ball in the air. Hard to believe this is considered FBS football.

[mbenecke]

Stay disciplined, protect the football, and finish drives.

Come on, boys!

[mbenecke]

Taron Keith opens the 2nd half with an 84 yard kick return. That’s the spark we needed.

[mbenecke]

Quick BG TD to start the second half! Harold Fannin gets a handoff out of the backfield on 3rd and 1 and runs it in. Good stuff!

Falcons lead 13-0 with 13:39 to play in the 3rd.

Can't start the 2nd half any better than that.

[mbenecke]

Defense forced 2 fumbles on that drive but took away the 2nd one to stop WMU’s best drive of the day.

Go get points.

[mbenecke]

That was a brutal drop there. Come on, OJ.

[BillyLP]

Hilaire needs to catch that but the way McDonald throws makes it so much harder on his receivers. The nose of the ball was like pointed downwards.

[mbenecke]

Another awful spot. That was a stop on 4th down.

And of course, WMU scores 2 plays later. This is an example of incompetent officiating directly impacting a game.

Falcons lead 13-6 after a botched PAT with 3:11 to play in the third.

Agreed I thought that was a questionable spot at best

Yeah, the spot was flat out wrong.

[ZuluWarrior]

That spot was horrendous!
This drive is critical - good start.

[mbenecke]

Big strike from McDonald on 4th and 9 and BG is inside the 10.

End of 3, BG leads 13-6.

[jpfalcon09]

Man's catch there by Sims. Ball was behind him. Six is imperative here.
