Offensive/defensive formations: Wing-T/Eagle. Key losses: Jimmy Jo Petrolla (all-league safety); Mike Seibert (second-team all-league tackle); Brandon Beachum (junior RB/LB who transferred to Mooney). Returning lettermen: Nine on offense and defense. Returning starters: Six offense, six defense. Returning offensive backs: Chris Lovell, QB, 6-2, 180, Sr. Incoming offensive backs: Carl DaVanzo, FB, 5-9, 185, Sr.; Greg Sabol, HB, 5-9, 180, Soph.; Trent Vallinger, HB, 5-10, 180, Soph. Returning offensive ends: Charlie Carchedi, WR, 5-10, 170, Sr.; Mark Barnhart, TE, 6-4, 230, Sr. Incoming offensive ends: Chris Hanna, F, 6-1, 180, Sr. Returning offensive linemen: Shawn Zentko, G, 5-10, 230, Sr.; John Gabriel, T, 5-11, 240, Sr. Incoming offensive linemen: Bill Dugan, T, 270, Jr. Returning defensive linemen: Colin Syphard, NT, 5-10, 240, Sr.; Andy King, DT, 5-10, 280, Sr. Incoming defensive linemen: Jake Hochendoner, DE, 6-2, 225, Jr. Returning linebackers: Barnhart; Jared Morell, 5-10, 180, Sr. Incoming linebackers: Mark Turnbull, 5-10, 210, Jr. Incoming defensive backs: Jason Simons, S, 6-1, 180, Jr.; Gannon Hulea, S, 6-1, 180, Soph.; Carchedi. Outlook: Beachum's transfer was a big loss on offense and defense, but the Bulldogs have good depth and a lot of experience at the skill positions. Lovell threw for more than 1,100 yards and six touchdowns last season and the players should benefit from being in the second year in Brungard's system.
