1. Bowie State has the best defense in DII. Whether your going by stats or the eye test, we have provided plenty of proof to back up this claim (Albany State is the only team who can argue this point).
2. It's not that Valdosta has better athletes, it's that they have more depth (as a fully funded school should). Our top players are great athletes. It's easier said than done to just line up and throw the ball, when you have a tremendous defensive line in front of you that doesn't need a blitz behind it to apply pressure. Our defensive backfield is loaded: You have the homegrown kids in 2019 All American (lead country in ints) CB Demetri Morsell, and 2019 All CIAA CB Tevin Singleton and then you have the newer Bulldogs who came from D1 programs in S Simeon Gatlin(Morgan State) ,2020 All CIAA S Raymond Boone (UMD), and the hitmaker Myles Woolfork (UNC).
Valdosta is in for a street fight. I think the thing most people are overlooking, is how good Jerome Johnson is both through the air and on the ground and how well coached Bowie is. This is a disciplined ball team, as we saw last game when there were no offside penalties despite how many times Newberry tried to draw us offsides on 3 and 4th in inches.
