Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler has been ejected from Saturday afternoon’s game against Buffalo after drawing two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on back-to-back drives, an uncommon occurrence in college football.

More importantly for the Falcons, Loeffler is their chief offensive playcaller. They still have a full quarter of football remaining and are holding on to a 28-3 lead.

Loeffler is in his third season with Bowling Green and is 2-6 on the season. A loss on Saturday would all but eliminate the Falcons from another year of bowl eligibility. The Falcons are just 2-1`5 in MAC play in three years with Loeffler.

Unsportsmanlike conduct rules were changed in 2011 and since then, no coach has been ejected until Loeffler was on Saturday afternoon.

The former Boston College offensive coordinator, he was a quarterback at Michigan in the early 1990s.

He was the quarterbacks coach at Florida for the 2009 and 2010 seasons before taking the offensive coordinator job at Auburn, where he was then fired along with the rest of Gene Chizik’s staff.

Bowling Green last had a winning season when Dino Babers led the Falcons to the 2015 MAC title and a 10-3 overall record. He then went on to take the Syracuse job.

Auburn reveals orange face masks for Ole Miss matchup

Just six weeks after wearing white facemasks for the first time in program history, the Auburn Tigers are once again making a change to their helmets. When the Tigers run onto the field on Saturday against Ole Miss, they’ll do so with orange facemasks.

This is the first time the orange facemasks have returned for Auburn’s football uniforms since 1983. The program previously wore orange facemasks from the 1979-1983 seasons.

Maintaining the traditional Auburn uniform look means a lot to its fans, so it was no easy task rolling out the orange facemasks. 

It’s pretty cool the orange facemasks debut on Halloween weekend. Auburn’s all-time record in the orange facemasks is 47-23.
