Falcons Announce Football Schedule for 2010

Three national television appearances, five home games and a date with a member of the Big Ten highlight the Bowling Green State University football team’s 2010 schedule. The Mid-American Conference office released the league schedule this afternoon (Mar. 1).

 
The Falcons’ five home games include the home opener with Marshall set for Sept. 18. Other home games inside Doyt Perry Stadium include Buffalo (Oct. 2), Kent State (Oct. 23), Miami (Nov. 10) and Western Michigan (Nov. 26).
 
The contest with the Bulls has been tabbed as homecoming, while the game with Kent State will be Parents’ Weekend.
