Bowling Green steamrolled UMass 45-14 behind an explosive offensive showing at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. The Falcons jumped to a commanding 28-0 lead in the first half, with quarterback Hunter Najm throwing three touchdown passes and Austyn Dendy scoring both through the air and on the ground. Despite UMass showing signs of life with two second-quarter touchdowns, the Minutemen couldn't overcome the deficit as Dendy added another rushing score and the Falcons closed out the game with 17 unanswered points.
