History will be made at Bowling Green this weekend when Minnesota comes to Doyt L. Perry Stadium. It will be the first time since 1966 -- a span of over 200 games played in that stadium -- that a Big Ten team will line up opposite the Falcons.

"I think it's awesome," Bowling Green coach Gregg Brandon said. "We're coming off a big road win and they got a good win by beating Northern Illinois at home. It will be a grudge match for them because we beat them up there last year. I'll be disappointed if the place isn't rocking with 30,000 here. You can't ask for anything better in college football for Bowling Green right now."

The Falcons are coming off a huge upset win at Pittsburgh last weekend and currently are receiving votes in both the coaches' and AP polls. The win gave Bowling Green its 10th victory over a BCS program this decade, but only the second since 2004. The other BCS team the Falcons defeated was Minnesota in a 32-31 decision in Minnesota.

Quarterback Tyler Sheehan said last year's win over Minnesota gave the team confidence and he's hoping for a similar boost this weekend. Bowling Green did lose to Michigan State in the game following Minnesota last year, but that game was on the road.

"I think this win gives us more confidence because we know that Pitt was a better team than Minnesota was last year when we beat them," Sheehan said. "But I think Minnesota's gotten so much better since last year and I think it will be a great battle just like it was last year because we've gotten better, too."

While the team has confidence, Sheehan said it's not ready to anoint itself this year's BCS buster. It's one game, Sheehan said, but if the Falcons beat Minnesota, people certainly will have to sit up and take notice. A win would also be the first time since 2002 that the Falcons have beaten two BCS teams in the same season.

"I think the one kinda gets our name out there," Sheehan said. "We got a lot of pub on ESPN and SportsCenter and things like that, so I think it's good for our school and for our program. It's nice that we got the win and it's just something to build off of for the rest of the year."
