The 2024 68 Ventures Bowl pits Arkansas State Red Wolves against the Bowling Green Falcons on Thursday at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Alabama. The kickoff is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET.
The Falcons had a five-game win streak going on before suffering a 28-12 loss to Miami (OH). This will be sixth-year senior Connor Bazelak's final game in college football. He will rest easy knowing the Red Wolves' defensive line hasn't been much of a sacker, averaging just 1.5 sacks per game.
Let's take a look at Bowling Green's projected starting lineup and depth chart for the 68 Ventures Bowl.
