US EditionFrom Heisman to FBS Head Coach: Eddie George Ready for Next Big Challenge at Bowling Green
Eddie George begins rebuilding Bowling Green Falcons with over 50 new players and a focus on competing in the Mid-American Conference under first-year coaching leadership.
- On Thursday, Bowling Green opens the 2025 season Thursday, August 28th at Doyt L. Perry Stadium, where Eddie George makes his FBS coaching debut leading the Falcons against Lafayette Leopards, with the game on ESPN+ and pregame on Falcon Radio from 5:35 p.m.
- The Falcons replaced Scot Loeffler with Eddie George, hired after a March 9 search, leveraging his Heisman Trophy and coaching experience to lead Bowling Green.

- Bowling Green's ticket sales are up 113% with premium seating sold out amid heavy local promotion; Urban Meyer, former BGSU head coach, will be honored during the National Football Foundation Campus Salute, and the first 1,500 BGSU students receive free replica Eddie George jerseys.
- With 48 new players and heavy transfer portal use, Eddie George faces a steep rebuilding task while aiming for Bowling Green's first MAC title since 2015 and prioritizing culture and preparation.
