Defensively, they are giving up 31.8 points and are allowing 157.1 rushing yards per game so they need to stop the run, especially with Cooper doing well. They get to the quarterback extremely well as they are tied with the Louisville Cardinals for second in the country with 33 sacks as a whole.
Golden Flashes vs. Falcons Final Prediction:
Both these defenses have been doing completely different things throughout the previous few games as Kent State is allowing 35.3 points while Bowling Green is giving up 13.3 points in the previous three games for both teams.
The Golden Flashes should stack the box defensively to make it tough for Cooper while Matt McDonald should dominate offensively throwing the football.
Bowling Green Falcons: +2.5 (-115)
