Loeffler on Bowling Green’s 38-7 home loss to Buffalo on Saturday: “There’s still a ton of football to be played. The MAC is chaotic. We see teams week-in and week-out, do what we did. Hopefully, we don’t go down this path again. I wanted to be competitive in every single MAC game, and where I’m disappointed is we were not competitive on Saturday. I’m beyond disappointed, like flabbergasted disappointed.”
