Previously: Bowling Green Offense Wednesday we covered Bowling Green's offense, today we take a look at their defense. Last season this unit was among the very worst in college football, ranking 125th in SP+. In their first two games, the team allowed 34 points and 389 yards to Liberty and 15 points and 325 yards to Eastern Illinois. Not good, but nothing catastrophic yet. Now they get a chance to take on Michigan. The Film: Much like the offense, we only have one option here. Eastern Illinois is not suitable to use as an FCS team and finding game footage of that would be even harder. So we're going with Liberty, which is a bit of a bummer because the Flames' offense is very different than what Michigan runs, so learning much of anything from this game is. hard. Not as hard as last week's largely meaningless review of Bryant/UNLV footage, but still pretty tough to use. Personnel: Click for big. Bowling Green has really rotated their defensive line this s

Today we start in the trenches, looking at the opposing defensive lines. While perhaps not quite as grim as offensive line, I can't say I came away from this exercise terribly enthused by the opposing defensive lines. Yet again you can partly chalk that up to the schedule, avoiding Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa, but I also am not sure how great of a year for the B1G on the DL this is in general. Regardless, let's get going: 12.
