Josh Harris doesn’t have his own hot sauce or his own Web site.

Bowling Green hasn’t gone out of their way to promote Harris the way NIU has promoted Michael Turner for Heisman. Harris has shirts, that’s about it.

But what Harris does have that Turner doesn’t is the second best statistical offense in the country with a 539.9 yards-per-game average.

“Their stats are the best in the conference,” center Todd Ghilani said. “[Harris] is a good athlete. They do a good job of utilizing his skills.”

Harris is ranked 10th in the country in total offense with 306 yards per game. Bowling Green averages 514.6 yards per contest.

Last year, the knock on Harris was his pass efficiency. When he led the undefeated No. 20-ranked Falcons into Huskie Stadium, NIU forced him to throw.

The result was 52 pass attempts by Harris and a 26-17 Huskie victory. NIU held Harris to 42 rushing yards on 16 attempts.

This year has been different for Harris and Bowling Green. The 6-foot-3 senior has improved his completion percentage to 65.5, up from 56.1 percent last year.

He’s throwing it better than in the past, NIU coach Joe Novak said

Harris also has gained 301 yards on the ground and scored seven rushing touchdowns.

“He’s really good,” Novak said. “What makes him dangerous is that he starts with the ball on every play.”

BGSU is one of six schools in the nation that averages more than 200 yards rushing and passing a game.

“We expect similar things to what we saw against Western [Michigan],” cornerback Rob Lee said. “They are going to throw it a lot and we are going to look to shut it down.”

The Falcons will spread the field with four and five receivers, similar to what Western Michigan did. They will, however, use the option like Ohio.

“He’ll drop back, and if they’re covered or he sees a seam, he’ll take off and run it,” Novak said. “If your linebackers are out trying to cover wideouts, you got a lot of holes in the middle.”

It’s this unique offense that challenges BGSU’s opponents.

“Our scheme is pretty sound,” BGSU coach Gregg Brandon said. “We’ve got players that fit the scheme and good linemen that know their responsibilities.”
