The 1925 Bowling Green Normals football team was an American football team that represented Bowling Green State University as a member of the Northwest Ohio League (NOL) during the 1925 college football season. In its second season under head coach Warren Steller, the team compiled a 3–1–3 record (2–0–1 against conference opponents), and won the NOL championship.[1] The team opened the season 0–1–3 but won the final three games of the season.[2] The team played its home games at College Field in Bowling Green, Ohio.[3]
Paul E. Landis, Robert Younkins, and Franklin Skibbie were assistant coaches. Harry Crawford was the team captain.[3]
Bowling Green refused to play a post-season game with Toledo after university officials, including coach Steller, witnessed unsportsmanlike conduct in an Armistice Day game between Toledo and Findlay.[4]
