Bowling Green, Ohio - First-year head football coach Gregg Brandon and his staff will welcome 51 returning lettermen, including 15 returning starters, to the first of 15 spring workouts Wednesday at 3:15 p.m., in Perry Field House.
The Falcons were 9-3 last year and finished third in the MAC West with a 6-2 record. During the last two years, BGSU has won 17 games and was ranked as high as 16th nationally last season.
Senior quarterback Josh Harris heads a list of 15 returning starters (six on offense, eight on defense and one on special teams) who will look to give BGSU three straight winning seasons for the first time since the Falcons posted four straight non-losing campaigns from 1991-94.
