BGSU Media Guide is Out....Changes here at there

The football media guide was released last night and for those of us who prefer to wallow in minutae it provided us with an opportunity to check in on the Falcons.  There was nothing too shocking, but let's look at what we did see.

First, we look at the roster from the last game and compare it to the roster in the media guide.  There are a few players who have left who were unexpected.  Some of these we have discussed earlier, sme we have not.

The surprise was Fahn Cooper, last year's starting LT who is no longer with the team.  This means that BG lost both tackles and returned 3 starters instead of 4 on the O-line.

The other surprise was Trenton Greene, who made some special teams plays last year.  The surprise is that his brother remained and appears to be in the running for reps at a new position.

Dalton Chapman was another O-lineman who left after his redshirt year.

Of course, we knew about Anthon Samuel.

On the d-line, we knew about Shaq Hall and Hunter Maynard, whose departure has put some pressure on the numbers up front.

D-back Johnny Jospeh is also no longer listed

Then we move to the depth chart.

First, Jacob Bennett jumps to top at LT.  He is a redshirt FR and is now listed at 6'4" and 324 lbs, which is a pretty good sized fella.  He will be backed up Clay Rolf, who has moved to the interior of the line from TE.

On the RT side, replacing Roussos, Christian Piazza and Logan Dietz are listed as OR.

QB listed as an OR with Schilz and Johnson.

Givens is listed at the top at RB, followed by Greene, Hopgood and Martin.

Defense

Not too much here.  The front line is mostly as expected.

Kendall Montgomery is a fulltime-DE and on the 2nd string.
Ronnie Goble now backing up at DE, but D-lineman rotate all the time.

Back 7 is rock solid.

So, in sum, I have said that the biggest question marks on the team were RB and WR, with D-line next.  With Cooper leaving, the O-line certainly becomes a bit of a concern.  We could be relatively young up front.  This team absolutely must run well so we need a productive line.

Anyway, that will all reveal itself.
