Another first-half shutout

Bowling Green will probably get some points on the board in the second half just like UNLV and East Carolina were able to do, but I don’t see anything happening in the first half.

Basically, no team has scored with Michigan’s starting defense on the field and I don’t see Bowling Green changing that.

Bazelak does have talent and there are some talented receivers on this roster such as tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and Odieu Hiliare. Taron Keith is a running back with 123 yards receiving, as well as 73 rushing yards.

Keith’s 103 total yards per game make him a guy that Michigan needs to focus on. But I don’t see the running game being effective and frankly, I don’t see more than a couple of garbage time scores for Bowling Green, if the Falcons even get that.
