Coach had a Labor Day edition of his presser and he managed to find some sports reporters who were not at the Solheim Event (which was just great). Not too much came in the way of news....mostly questions in advance of the Levi Gazarek and Austin Osborne features undoubtedly coming this week.
A few things.
Coach is absolutely gushing about true FR Jamal Johnson of Frankfort IL.
He said that Jadeyn McKinstry advanced a slant pass, the first time that has happened in his (Loeffler's) tenure at BG. (We are in a nowhere-to-go-but-up mode. That's up).
The most important thing involves Sam Neverov. After representing BG at media day and being the only upperclassmen on the BG line, Neverov was DNP in Knoxville and is not on the depth chart for the USA game. Coach said that they would get more information THAT afternoon (as in yesterday) as to whether Sam would be able to "help" the team.
He thinks the D-line and d-backfield have a chance to be competitive in '22.
Also, he thinks if BG can figure out how to run the ball and keep the QB safe, we have a shot for a decent offense. There was no shot to run the ball in Knoxville.
We will await further information, but I think you'd have to agree it sounds fairly serious.
Depth Chart is out. Sims, Simms and Broden are all back, giving BG a boost heading into the game Saturday.
BG is a 14 point underdog. I honestly think we cover this one, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
There are 30 Freshman or Sophomores on our O and D 44 man 2 Deep. Still doesn't sink in.
