It wasn't the performance the BG football team had hoped for in playing in front of its largest crowd in school history.
More than 109,000 people at Michigan Stadium or "The Big House," watched the Wolverines eat up the ground game and the entire Falcon defense in a 65-21 rout.
There was no answer for Michigan, and what I learned is that BG has some issues to work out on defense. How does a defense allow a team to rush for 466 yards?
Okay, so Denard Robinson, who has been the most electric college football player since the beginning of the season, rushed for 129 of those yards on five carries.
But the Falcons took him out of the game after injuring his knee. Robinson ran all over Michigan's first three opponents of the season, so I didn't expect anything less against BG. With Robinson out of the game, the Falcons allowed for Michigan rushers to run for 337 yards.
Below is a video of BG coach Dave Clawson during his postgame press conference with the media following his team's loss, and as expected, he was not a happy coach.

Play ball!
Welcome to the inaugural post of "Off the record," a blog where I will talk about and provide up to date information about athletics at Bowling Green State University.
In this blog I will post links to my articles from The BG News, audio and video interviews with players and coaches, maps and anything else related to Falcon athletics.
The world of sports, no matter what level, is constantly changing. Therefore, it is my job to keep the people of BG updated on the most current news regarding sports at the University.
There are 18 sports at BGSU and it's an exciting time for some of them. The BG football team will look to go to another bowl game after making it to the Humanitarian Bowl last season, women's basketball will compete for its seventh consecutive Mid-American Conference championship, hockey and new coach Chris Bergeron look to get back on the map in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and baseball has its sights set on a fourth straight MAC East title.
The softball team will be exciting to take a look at as well. Paige Berger is a bright spot on the team and will be one of the main focal points over the next three years.
Berger hit 12 home runs last season, breaking the single season school record. She led the Falcons with 33 RBIs and a .681 slugging percentage and was named MAC Freshman of the Year, First Team All-MAC and member of the MAC All-Freshman Team.It will be exciting to see what she has in store for an encore.
Another exciting up and coming attraction is the Stroh Center, which will open next Fall. The arena will be the new home to both men's and women's basketball, volleyball and gymnastics and will be a nice upgrade from Anderson Arena.
