I don't think beating Bowling Green was a surprise. I thought BGSU would take it by a FG because of "home cooking" from the refs, but for me, the biggest surprise was that USD blew open a big lead and pretty much held on to it the whole time. The margin was a surprise for me, not so much the win though. BGSU is a bad MAC team and USD is a decent MVFC team.
