"It's my fault!" admits HC Brent Key as Bowling Green Stuns Georgia Tech with Sensational Victory
In a dramatic turn of events that had football enthusiasts at the edge of their seats, Bowling Green orchestrated a remarkable upset against Georgia Tech on their home turf in Atlanta. While the Yellow Jackets set an early tone with a quick touchdown just 17 seconds into the game, the Falcons had other plans, staging an unforgettable comeback that will reverberate through conversations for quite some time.
Georgia Tech wasted no time in making a bold statement, scoring a touchdown early on and creating a buzz throughout the stadium. With a 7-0 lead, it seemed the Yellow Jackets were poised for a dominating performance.
However, Bowling Green faced initial challenges in gaining momentum, going three and out in their early drives. The Falcons appeared to be up against a formidable defense from the Yellow Jackets.
The game's turning point materialized when Christian Leary, in the Yellow and Black, found the end zone, extending Georgia Tech's lead. Although Bowling Green's star player, Terion Stewart, made valiant efforts to spark his team's offense with an impressive run, the conversion eluded them.
Despite these early setbacks, the Falcons gradually gained momentum as the first half progressed. With just over four minutes remaining in the half, they responded with a 52-yard possession, concluding it with a 40-yard field goal. The signs were clear—the Falcons were not merely spectators in this game.
As the first half continued, Bowling Green's defense stepped up, making crucial stops against the Yellow Jackets and even securing a fumble recovery. Penalties, however, hindered their offensive progress.
Emerging from halftime, the Falcons mounted a spectacular run that saw them reach the end zone. Terion Stewart showcased his dynamic rushing skills, giving Bowling Green the lead and solidifying his significance to the BG football program.
With the Falcons leading in the third quarter, Georgia Tech found themselves in a predicament. The Yellow Jackets struggled to gain yardage, allowing Bowling Green to dictate the game's pace. Penalties persisted, hindering the Falcons' offensive efficiency.
BG's Conner Bazelak, the quarterback, played a pivotal role in leading his team, controlling the offensive tempo and making crucial plays. Wide receiver Abdul-Fatan Ibraham provided valuable support when Stewart wasn't making the plays, showcasing their potential as a formidable force in the upcoming season.

With 3:13 left in the third quarter, they executed a remarkable 10-play, 86-yard drive, capped by a Stewart touchdown. This was followed by a game-changing pick-six by Deshawn Jone Jr., expanding their lead to 38-14—a lead no one anticipated.
While Georgia Tech managed to respond with a touchdown, the game took a turn when Bowling Green's Darius Lorfils was disqualified due to a targeting and dead ball foul, leaving the Falcons without their starting free safety.
Despite adversity, Bowling Green's defense intercepted Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King's pass in the end zone, maintaining their lead. The fourth quarter witnessed both teams tempering the action, but Georgia Tech fought back, determined to secure a win.
With just 2:58 left, Georgia Tech scored another touchdown, but an onside kick recovery by Bowling Green sealed their impressive victory over the Yellow Jackets. The game concluded with a final score of 38-27, showcasing Bowling Green's resilience and their ability to stand tall against formidable opponents like Georgia Tech.
