BOWLING GREEN FALCONS NEWS

Jyrin Johnson - Finds end zone in close loss Johnson compiled four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 27-21 loss to Eastern Michigan.

Impact Johnson was quiet for most of the matchup against the Eagles, but he grabbed a two-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to make it a one-score game. Even though the Falcons couldn't deliver in the end, the starting tight end established himself as a top option in the team's passing offense once again. He'll look to find the end zone for the third time this season against Akron after Bowling Green's bye week.

Austyn Dendy - Two rushing touchdowns in loss Dendy had 21 rushes for 113 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 27-21 defeat versus Eastern Michigan.

Impact Dendy got the start against the Eagles with position mate Cameron Pettaway (undisclosed) sidelined. Dendy made the absolute most of his high-volume role, surpassing 100 yards and logging two of the Falcons' three touchdowns in the showing. The redshirt freshman rusher was also most definitely Bowling Green's best offensive asset in the loss. He'll look to stay involved at a high level even if Pettaway returns after the bye week.

Hunter Najm - Quiet totals in first start Najm was 11-for-15 passing for 129 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 27-21 loss to Eastern Michigan. He also had five rushes for nine yards.

Impact Najm got the start for the Falcons with starter Drew Pyne (ankle) sidelined once again. While Najm completed all but four of his 15 passing attempts, he was only able to total 129 yards and log a 1:1 TD:INT. The 5-foot-11 redshirt freshman still has much to learn in the MAC Conference, but he could get another start if Pyne remains out after Bowling Green's bye week.

NOVEMBER 5 • Data Skrive

Austyn Dendy - 62 yards in blowout Dendy logged 18 carries for 62 yards during Saturday's 28-3 loss versus Buffalo.

Impact Dendy was utilized heavily for a second straight week, with 18 carries. The 6-foot running back didn't do a lot with his touches, but he was still the Falcons' top option in the backfield. It's unknown if this level of volume will continue when Cameron Pettaway (undisclosed) returns to the field, but Dendy appears to have passed Chris McMillian on the depth chart already.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Najm - Fills in for injured Pyne Najm was 4-for-12 passing for 48 yards and one interception during Saturday's 28-3 defeat against Buffalo.

Impact Najm was the backup quarterback ahead of the eventual blowout, with position mates Lucian Anderson (undisclosed) and Baron May (undisclosed) both out with an injury. Najm was unfortunately very inefficient against the Bulls, so he likely won't be utilized again unless injuries keep his teammates out.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Drew Pyne - Ends up playing, exits later Pyne (ankle) completed 7 of 16 passes for 52 yards during Saturday's 28-3 defeat to Buffalo. He also had five rushes for -30 yards.

Impact Pyne was reported as out ahead of the game, but he ended up actually playing before leaving with an injury. The starting quarterback's status is now up in the air ahead of this upcoming Saturday's away game at Eastern Michigan. His practice availability should be a good indicator of whether he'll play this week.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Lucian Anderson III - DNP Saturday Anderson (undisclosed) was held out of Saturday's 28-3 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Anderson was held out for the second straight contest due to an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-3 quarterback will hope to make his return soon, as Bowling Green's quarterback injury issues will provide him a path for playing time. His next chance to return will come Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Baron May - Ruled out Saturday May (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game versus Buffalo.

Impact May, who got his first start last week in a loss to Kent State, has now been ruled out for Week 10. With Drew Pyne back healthy, May likely would not have started either way, but it's still a tough blow for him to not be available.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Pettaway - Unavailable for Week 10 Pettaway (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Buffalo.

Impact Pettaway will log a second straight DNP, leaving Bowling Green's running back room somewhat thinner going into Week 11. Up next for the Falcons would be a Nov. 8 game at Eastern Michigan.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Lucian Anderson III - Questionable for Week 10 Anderson (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Buffalo.

Impact Week 10 is a good time for Anderson to be available, so his questionable status comes at a bad time. Drew Pyne (ankle) and Baron May (undisclosed) are out, leaving Anderson as Bowling Green's best quarterback available should he be able to play against Buffalo.
