Sophomore Matt Johnson got the best of Heisman Trophy finalist Jordan Lynch as Bowling Green handed then-No. 16 Northern Illinois its first loss, 47-27 in the MAC title game on Dec. 6. Johnson posted career highs with 393 passing yards and five touchdowns as the Falcons rolled to their fifth consecutive win.
"Bowling Green was impressive not only in their MAC Championship win, but all season long and we have a competitive game of football ahead," Panthers coach Paul Chryst told ESPN.com.
While the Panthers posted signature wins over then-No. 24 Notre Dame and at Duke, they dropped four of six to conclude their first season in the ACC.
"This has been a fun season, but it certainly hasn't always gone the way we would have liked," Chryst said. "I think we've got the program headed in the right direction, and we're bringing back the tradition of Pitt football, but we're still at the point where it is hard to say what is going to happen on a week-to-week basis."
