1925 Bowling Green Normals football team

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. The team opened the season 0–1–3 but won the final three games of the season. The team played its home games at College Field in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Paul E. Landis, Robert Younkins, and Franklin Skibbie were assistant coaches. Harry Crawford was the team captain.

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.
