--RB Willie Geter was moved ahead of Anthony Turner on the depth chart after the spring. The Falcons have four quality tailbacks vying for playing time.

--S P.J. Mahone became a big-time player for the defense last year. Mahone had seven picks after taking over the starting spot because of an injury. Mahone, a junior, can help solidify the secondary with his aggressive play.

SPRING MOVER

DE Diyral Briggs -- He is expected to be the leader on defense. Briggs was the one player not moved on the defensive line in the spring. He had five sacks in the spring game after earning All-MAC honors last year.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"The defense really kicked the offense's butt this spring. To end up with a defensive struggle in the spring game is kind of what I was looking for. I know the fans want to see points, but it's nice to see our defense running and making plays." -- BG coach Gregg Brandon said following a strong spring by his defense.
