■ Notes: The Falcons look to sweep a three-game homestand today. … Last season the two teams met for the first time, with BG claiming a 24-0 victory. The Falcons picked off four passes in that contest, but they have gone seven games (and 241 consecutive passes) since their last interception, which came in the home loss to Kent State last season. … UMass has posted a 1-15 record since joining the MAC in 2012. That also was the school’s first as a FBS member. … The Minutemen have been outscored 130-28 in four losses. … BGSU has started 4-1 for the first time since a 7-1 start in 2003. … The Falcons look to go 3-0 in MAC play for the first time since 2005, when BG started 4-0. … BG freshman running back William Houston has scored six touchdowns in five games; as a team UMass has just four TDs in four contests. … Of the 21 TDs scored by the Falcons, 16 have been by players who had not reached the end zone before this season.
