Nehlen says BG atop MAC race remains in reach
Bowling Green coach Don Nehlen concedes his 2-1 MAC Falcons face a back to wall moment but insists they can still win the conference. Kent State leads at 3-0 with Miami of Ohio at 1-0 while BG prepares for a key headliner with Miami. Mallory of Miami supports BG’s bid and notes Kent State is not unbeatable. Bob Hitchens is listed as 50-50 due to knee issues and Brad Cousino is expected back after curfew-related absence.
