  1. I’m excited to see what Coach Clawson will bring to the Demon Deacons! Anyone that can take a 2-10 Bowling Green team and bring them out of gutter of the MAC to win a MAC championship is well deserving of this position. If you look at his track record, he’s won everywhere he’s been! Can’t wait for this season and the many seasons to come as Clawson brings in athletes from all over the country to run his talent driven offense.
