When you're a MAC team traveling to SEC country to try and pull off an upset, you need to find every possible advantage you can. Bowling Green defensive lineman Mike Minns knew that Saturday, when he lost he shoe in the midst of a goal line stand against Tennessee. Rather than risk an illegal substitution or an offsides penalty, Minns collapsed in a heap of flesh on the five-yard line.

Minns and his Falcons are keeping it close against the Volunteers in Nashville, trailing 28-20 as the second quarter was drawing to a close.
