Willie Geter News

Three special teams miscues for Toledo led to three first quarter touchdowns, as BG defeated the Rockets 38-24. Eugene Fells blocked Bill Claus' first punt attempt at the Toledo 26-yard line, leading to 1-yard touchdown run by Willie Geter.

The early minutes of yesterday's Toledo-Bowling Green football game were not pleasant for Tim Beckman, the UT special teams coordinator.

Now Bowling Green State University must wait for another week to see if its season will resume with a postseason bowl game.

Willie Geter scored three touchdowns, Freddie Barnes caught two scoring passes and Bowling Green blocked two first-quarter punts while holding off Toledo 38-24 on Friday.

Tyler Sheehan put the ball where only Freddie Barnes could catch it. Heavily covered in a one-on-one matchup with Akron cornerback Marvase Byrd, the BG quarterback threw the pass toward his receiver's left shoulder and then the magic happened.

"The Freddie Barnes Show" was in full effect last night in the Falcons' 35-14 win at Miami.

Freddie Barnes had never beaten Miami. During his redshirt season, Barnes watched his teammates beat the RedHawks from the sidelines, but he could never emulate that success until last night.

Freddie Barnes scored three touchdowns to lift Bowling Green to a 35-14 win over Miami of Ohio on Thursday night.

Lost among all the hysteria following BG's dramatic comeback victory against Buffalo Tuesday night was the stout play of BG's defense in the second half.

Tyler Sheehan found Freddie Barnes with 39 seconds left for the game-winning touchdown that put the Bowling Green Falcons up 30 to 29 last night in Buffalo.A Sheehan was 22-for-40 for 333 yards with one touchdown and an interception; he also added a touchdown on the ground.

For nearly three quarters, the University at Buffalo was close to accomplishing its main objective of keeping Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes in check.

Sports Editor Andrew Stover breaks down the football teama s game against Bowling Green on Saturday.

If the Falcon football team were ever to get together with their coach and play a friendly game of football on the intramural fields, Dave Clawson knows what player he'd want when teams were getting divided up.

BG has given up several second-half leads this season, but on Saturday it was the Falcons who clawed their way to a 36-35 fourth quarter comeback against the Kent State Golden Flashes.

Injuries are a part of any sport - especially one with as much contact as football - and the injury bug has bitten the Falcon squad often in the young season.

Prior to the start of the season BG coach Dave Clawson described the non-conference schedule as somewhat of a "meat grinder." After struggling through that grind to a 1-3 record, the Falcons can finally focus on one of their main goals for this season: winning a conference title.

Falcon quarterback Tyler Sheehan may see a familiar face on the field this weekend when BG takes on Ohio University.

Boise State has been trained over the past five years not to look at, obsess about, or react to its position in the national polls or speculation about BCS bowls.

After rushing eight times for 43 yards in the first half, it appeared starting running back Willie Geter had found his stride again Saturday, after struggling the week before.

Despite the Falcons' slow start, Saturday night has the potential to be one of the biggest nights in University athletic history.
