On Saturday, Bowling Green Falcons (2-1) will see if their balanced offense can handle the very tough defense of the #19 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1).

Bowling Green won its second consecutive game last Saturday by upsetting Indiana 45-42 at home. The Falcons did give up 235 rushing yards to Indiana, but they also gained 571 total yards themselves. Bowling Green is currently ranked 21st in the nation with 324.7 passing yards per game.

Falcons wide receiver Roger Lewis has caught 30 passes through three games and has 366 yards with two touchdowns. Running back Travis Greene has gained 343 yards on the ground this season with four touchdown runs, while Fred Coppet has 154 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries.

Wisconsin blew out Western Illinois at home two Saturdays ago by the score of 37-3. The Badgers were able to put up 456 yards of offense in that win and held Western Illinois to just 162 total yards, including only 108 passing yards. They haven't passed the ball very well so far this year, but they are 39th in the country with 217.5 rushing yards per game.

Through two games, Badgers running back Melvin Gordon has 178 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries, while fellow back Corey Clement has 102 rushing yards and a score on 24 carries. Wide receiver Alex Erickson has 13 catches for 155 yards and one touchdown.
