Defense key in Bowling Green football rebuild

BOWLING GREEN — On its quest to become a Mid-American Conference contender once again, Bowling Green is in the process of revamping its defense.

If that sounds familiar, it is.

The Falcons are now on their third defensive coordinator in three seasons, as first-year BGSU coach Scot Loeffler tasked longtime coordinator Brian VanGorder with patching a defense that has struggled mightily in recent years.

As training camp enters its final week, Bowling Green’s defense is not yet where its coaches would like, though the Falcons have seen signs of improvement during the offseason.

“[Change] is always difficult for the guys, but these guys have done a good job,” VanGorder said.
