The 1958 Bowling Green Falcons football team was an American football team that represented Bowling Green State University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1958 college football season. In their fourth season under head coach Doyt Perry, the Falcons compiled a 7–2 record (4–2 against MAC opponents), finished in third place in the MAC, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 218 to 91.[1]
On November 8, 1958, the Falcons defeated Ohio, 33-6, starting an 18-game winning streak that continued until November 12, 1960. The streak remains the longest in Bowling Green history.[2]
The team's statistical leaders were Bob Colburn with 685 passing yards, Bob Ramlow with 779 rushing yards, and Bernie Casey with 310 receiving yards.[3] Ray Reese was the team captain.[4] Harold Furcron received the team's Most Valuable Player award.[5] Furcron set a Bowling Green record, since broken, with an 81-yard run against Dayton.
