Bowling Green took a big step in the Mid-American Conference with a 27-15 defeat over Western Michigan Saturday.

Louisville, Bowling Green, and Western Michigan are all at 2-0 now in the DIAA MAC Conference after all won over the weekend.

Louisville, meanwhile, faced an improving Cincinnati and came away with a dominant 77-3 win.
