Notes On The Bowling Green Falcons

The Bowling Falcons are one of the worst teams in football. They do not have as many games as they used to and they lost all five last year. Bowling Green was scoring 11.4 points in a game but giving up 45.0 points per game.

Scot Loeffler is the head coach at Bowling Green. He will have a hard time to fix the defense that was bad in 2020. The defense allowed 310 yards per game, which is last in the nation. So it’s no surprise that they’re secondary allowed only 165 yards per game.

Bowling Green’s offensive line is their strongest link. They ran the ball 184 yards a game last year (49th in the country). Matt McDonald will be quarterback after he started all five games in 2020. He threw for 712 yards, one touchdown, and six interceptions, completing just 43.9% of his passes.

Notes On The Tennessee Volunteers

In 2020, the Tennessee Volunteers had a terrible season. They lost seven of their last eight games. The head coach of the team is Jeremy Pruitt. But in 2021, he’s going to be gone and Josh Heupel will take over instead. Josh Heupel has done a good job with UCF while he was there too.

Last season, the Vols were scoring 21.5 points per game (89th in the nation) on 141.5 rushing yards (90th) and 204.7 passing yards (86th). They hope that new coach Heupel will be able to improve their offense, while they will also have a new QB this season.

On the other side of the ball, in 2020 the Vols were giving up 30.1 points per game. Their secondary was struggling mightily, allowing 265.8 passing yards per game (105th). But the Vols’ run D was 42nd with 141.6 yards allowed per contest.

College Football Betting Pick & Prediction: Tennessee Volunteers -33.5 -110

The spread of this game is a lot, but it tells you how much the bookies think about Bowling Green. The Vols lost some running backs last year, and they are 33.5-point favorites to win this game.

Josh Heupel prefers a fast-paced offense. His players will be excited to prove themselves under the new coach and should play well this week. The Vols defense will not have many problems slowing down the Falcons, who want to avoid a big loss. Hopefully, their defense has not improved much since last season.

 

The teams need to play together and get used to each other. This means there will be a lot of mistakes in the first game. The Vols and Falcons will work on their defenses so that they can stop opponents better.

The Falcons have let the other team score points in their last two games. This means that they are not very good at stopping the other team from scoring. This should be an easy game for Tennessee because they scored a lot of points last year (44.3 per game).
