Bowling Green will be without quite a few coaches for Tuesday’s game against Buffalo.
A statement from Bowling Green courtesy of ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg says it will be because of COVID-19 issues:

Four full-time assistants won’t be at the game but they will be eligible to return for their next game, which is November 28th at Ohio, assuming they meet the protocol.
According to Rittenberg, that means the Falcons will be missing half of their full-time staff for the game against Buffalo. A lot of coaches are already used to pulling some double duty, but this will put even more added pressure on the coaches that are available for the contest.
This is Bowling Green’s third game of the season in the Mid-American Conference and the kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. The Falcons are 0-2 on the season and have been blown out by Toledo and Kent State to start the year.
The game will be televised by the CBS Sports Network.
