College football fans have been treated to some phenomenal games throughout the early part of bowl season, but there have also been some underwhelming crowds at certain matchups.
Thursday night was a glaring example of this, as the 7-5 Arkansas State Red Wolves took on the 7-5 Bowling Green Falcons in the well-known 68 Ventures Bowl at Hancock Whitney Stadium, home of the South Alabama football program.
While both teams entered the game with identical 7-5 records, the low attendance cast a shadow over a matchup that is very even between two teams that had very solid seasons.
Bowling Green is also home to one of the best tight ends and NFL Draft prospects in the nation this season, Harold Fannin Jr.
He is active and has had a remarkable season as one of the top offensive talents in the country at the tight end position. Fannin Jr. will certainly be regarded as one of the most coveted prospects when the NFL Draft rolls around in April, making him the most prominent player on the field Thursday night.
Despite the minimal attendance, both teams still have their loyal supporters on opposite sides of the field near the benches.
The players are certainly giving it their all, as this marks the end of the 2024 season for both teams—and for several of the players, it’s the end of their collegiate careers, including Bowling Green quarterback Connor Bazelak who spent time at Missouri and Indiana.
