BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -

The Bowling Green State University football team had a busy day with the media this afternoon (Sept. 15). Here are some of their thoughts.
Coach Gregg Brandon
"I just want to say something about Dante Love. It was a tragic injury. All of the Falcons are praying for Dante and his family. It was a great win for Ball State. It is a tragic loss and I hope he is all right."
On what he sees in Wyoming
"A big physical football team built to run the ball and to stop the run. Good size offensive linemen, a big physical back and a quick little scat back, so they can they can get in and out of things with those two guys. Defensively they are stout, strong, physical football team."
On Wyoming's defense
"They have good skill in the secondary. Their corners are athletic, safeties tackles well and support the run. Their front seven are physical and stout. We are going to have to mix our run pass to be successful."
On the expected atmosphere there
"I really don't know. You see on film that they have good crowds for their home games. Coming off of a tough loss to BYU I don't know what kind of crowd they will get. The three homes games they have had they have almost filled the stadium. It looks like a great atmosphere just on film."
Thoughts on Wyoming
"They are a big bruising type of defense. Their front seven is pretty physical. I think we can expose them with some passing plays and the way we use our speed."
On the bye week
"I think we got to focus on ourselves a little more. We didn't have to game plan for a game that week so we got focus on what we have been struggling with. I think that has really helped our guys. Offensively we have had the best three practices since the beginning of campus and it is always encouraging when that happens."
On the bye week
"Last week there were a lot of things we needed to work on coming of off two straight losses. We went a little harder than most teams probably would in their bi-weeks. We had a couple practices here and there and really worked to get an attitude back that we kind of lost these last couple of weeks."
Thoughts on Wyoming
"I haven't seen a whole lot on them yet. I have been watching film but they are a physical team. They like to fly around and hit people. They have played some pretty tough teams. BYU is a great team and they stood in there and took their shots against BYU."
