FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Blade Notes

Two interesting pieces in the Blade story today.

If Turner is kept out of Saturday's game, Brandon said true freshman Tyler Sheehan will back up Barnes at quarterback. The plan is for Sheehan, who prepped at LaSalle High School in Cincinnati, to redshirt this season.

Brandon didn't have an answer when asked what he believed led to the Pittsburgh Steelers cutting former BG quarterback Omar Jacobs, but Brandon maintains that Jacobs would have benefited from another year in college.

Lots of Falcon fans have Tyler Sheehan love, and to see him one injury away from playing as a true freshmen will just fuel the fire. As for the Omar quote, it is interesting how that did not make the official BGSU transcript. It is also the first time I have seen a quote like that from Coach.

For the record, no one has moved to pick Omar up since he was cut.
