The Falcons earned a berth to the 2014 MAC Championship Game by clinching the MAC Eastern Division regular season crown with a 30–20 victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes. Starting running back Travis Greene was held out of the contest due to an injury he sustained a week prior. Running back Andre Givens answered the call, rushing for a career-high 157 yards on 38 carries and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Ryan Burbrink caught eight passes for 111 yards. Bowling Green became the first team since the Miami RedHawks in 2003–2004 to win the East Division in back-to-back seasons. ^[14]
